Energy Supply and Demand
Dr. Von Hippel serves on the staff of CCS and is also a Senior Associate with the Stockholm Environment Institute-United States. His work has ranged from supporting stakeholder processes aimed at reducing GHG emissions in several states in the U.S.; to energy and environmental planning in many countries around the world; to advising on gas and electric utility demand-side management programs; to working on energy efficiency, demand-side management, and utility-integrated resource planning issues in the U.S., the Middle East, and elsewhere. Dr. Von Hippel's work in U.S. state and regional stakeholder processes has centered on providing facilitation for Technical Working Groups in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, as well as in the energy supply sectors, including evaluating the GHG emissions and economic impacts of proposed emissions reduction policies. His prior work has also included, among many other topics, evaluation of refrigerator technology improvement projects, of air pollution reduction projects, and of the prospects for "clean coal" technologies in China; review of the impacts of climate change/sea level rise in Asia and the Pacific; and preparation of tools for the evaluation of emissions reduction projects for the Global Environment Facility. He works and has worked for a number of private and public agencies, including the World Bank, United Nations, Nautilus Institute, and Tellus Institute (Boston, Massachusetts), on a wide variety of topics.
