A diverse energy portfolio, depending on the local availability of natural resources, includes (1) solar, wind, biogas, biomass, ocean, and geothermal energy for power generation; (2) biofuels and renewable hydrocarbons, such as diesel, biodiesel, jet biofuel, and ethanol from biomass, algae, oil-seed plants, and used oil; and (3) electric vehicles powered by renewable energy for transportation.[8] The private sector and the markets should determine which of those forms of low- and no-carbon energy are most appropriate and cost-effective locally in different parts of the country and the world. Dr. Philippidis is a Fulbright Scholar. He received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Macedonia, Greece and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis-St. Paul. He also studied Business Administration at the University of Denver obtaining an MBA. He led strategic business units at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the US Department of Energy in Denver and at a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific in Boston before becoming Energy Director of the Applied Research Center, the business arm of Florida International University in Miami. Presently, he is Director of the Biofuels & Bioproducts Lab and Associate Professor at the Patel College of Global Sustainability at the University of South Florida in the Tampa Bay area, where he partners with companies and venture capital firms to commercialize renewable energy technologies and educates students and professionals in energy sustainability. He has been advising the federal and state governments on energy policy and transition to a bioeconomy,[9] venture capital and private equity firms on investment in cleantech, and the private sector in the United States, Latin America, and Europe on the establishment of renewable power and fuel industries.[10] References 8 : People associated with renewable energy|Biofuels|Biomass|University of Minnesota alumni|University of Denver alumni|American people of Greek descent|Living people|Year of birth missing (living people) |
