Three employees of the Energy and Global Security Directorate have been honored for their research and deployment expertise supporting the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office.
Marcy Rood received a Special Recognition Award for her 20-year history with Clean Cities both at DOE and Argonne. She has spearheaded numerous innovations for the National Clean Cities Program as co-leader of the program for 13 years, and has led program efforts at Argonne for eight years. Under her leadership, Argonne developed innovative fleet tools, such as AFLEET and the IdleBox toolkit and established a successful workforce development program and groundbreaking electric vehicle analysis and modeling efforts.
Amgad Elgowainy and Jeongwoo Han were a part of the team award of the Cradle-to-Grave (C2G) Working Group of the US DRIVE program. On June 1, 2016, this team published the results of its multi-year effort in a report titled “Cradle-to-Grave Lifecycle Analysis of U.S. Light-Duty Vehicle-Fuel Pathways: A Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Economic Assessment of Current (2015) and Future (2025-2030) Technologies.”
This work takes a deep dive into the opportunities for low-carbon vehicles and fuels, providing a comprehensive lifecycle analysis of the cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a variety of vehicle-fuel pathways, as well as the levelized cost of driving and avoided GHG emissions. DOE, its partners and the clean energy community will be able to cite this valuable work innumerable times.
