Webinar: EPRI Low Carbon Resources Initiative
August 20, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Jeffery Preece
Featured Speaker: Jeffery Preece, Director, Research & Development, EPRI
Webinar Abstract: How might low-carbon fuels support goals to achieve net-zero emissions while maintaining affordability and reliability? What is needed to increase deployment of new low-carbon technologies? How might the anticipated increase in electricity demand in AI, data centers, and reindustrialization affect net-zero targets? EPRI research is addressing these questions and many more as the energy transformation continues to unfold. This presentation will highlight EPRI’s approach to understanding net-zero energy systems; supporting accelerated deployment of advanced technologies to make, move, and use low-carbon fuels; and demonstrating how the electric system could be an integral part of the future net-zero economy.
About the Speaker: Jeffery Preece is a Director of Research and Development at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). In this role, Jeffery is focused on developing world-class research portfolios to support the energy economy transition to a net-zero emissions future. Jeffery leads EPRI’s research teams focused on long duration (bulk) energy storage, advanced power generation cycles, CO2 capture and storage, net-zero industrial clusters, and hydrogen and low-carbon fuels. Jeffery serves as EPRI’s lead on the joint EPRI-GTI Energy Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI). In prior roles at EPRI, Jeffery led the Water Management Technology program and Energy-Water Nexus Team which focused on desalination and cooling system technology development and deployment. He also worked in engineering and operations services at U.S. electric utilities. Jeffery earned an M.B.A. from Wake Forest University and a B.S. in chemical engineering from North Carolina State University.
