Abstract and Bio

Mitigating global warming and enhancing air quality requires a transition to net-zero emissions that involves significant changes across energy ecosystems. Transportation, the least-diversified energy sector and the largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, is crucial. Electric vehicles, paired with clean electricity, will play a pivotal role to decarbonize transportation and smart EV integration can strengthen the grid, reduce costs and enhance resilience.

Muratori, an expert in clean energy transition, specializes in climate change mitigation for transportation and mobility systems. He manages the Transportation & Industry Programs at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Muratori holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in energy engineering from Politecnico di Milano and master’s and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering, with a minor in statistics, from The Ohio State University.
