PNNL

Andrea Mott is a mechanical engineer who specializes in decarbonization strategies, GHG accounting, climate resiliency, and commercial and industrial building energy efficiency. She is the PI on the Integrated Methane Emissions Monitoring Platform (IMEMP) project, which is developing a platform that detects and analyzes fugitive emissions from the oil and gas industry. 

She also leads energy and decarbonization efforts for various Army sponsors. This includes tracking federal and Army energy and emissions metrics, conducting analysis at the intersection of net zero emissions and resiliency, and spear-heading 24/7 carbon-pollution free electricity research. In addition, she conducts building energy assessments (including industrial systems), develops tools for FEMP O&M, and aids ETIPP in community GHG inventories. 

She originally joined PNNL at their Joint Global Change Research Institute, where she worked on a wide variety of projects including the IEA Building Energy Codes Working Group and development of the Community Emissions Data System (CEDS). CEDS is a model that tracks historical anthropogenic GHG emissions back to 1750 for 8 sectors of every country in the world. 

She received her MS in renewable and clean energy engineering with a sustainability certificate, along with a BS in mechanical engineering with an energy systems concentration from the University of Dayton in Ohio. There, she worked in the Industrial Assessment Center conducting 24 different energy assessments for mid-sized manufacturers across Ohio.
