Rebe Feraldi, a senior systems engineer, joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Earth Systems Science division in 2022 as a subject-matter expert in life cycle assessment (LCA) and biomimicry. She solves sustainability and energy transition analyses using a data-driven approach and natural systems-level thinking.

Since 2008, Feraldi has been performing LCAs for fuels, energy pathways, materials, chemicals, bio-based processes and products, industrial processes, infrastructural elements, building and vehicle products and processes, waste management, and emerging technologies. Currently, she is working on standardizing LCA-based environmental product declaration labels considering recent state- and federal-level green public procurement initiatives—especially the Federal Sustainability Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Feraldi is proficient with modeling and data management for multiple LCA software platforms and databases; establishing and maintaining LCA projects and tools; and supporting outside-of-the box thinking and pivotal process improvements to sustainability, innovation, and LCA and sustainability analyses and analysis systems. She trains users in data collection, compilation, modeling, quality control, analysis, visualization, interoperability, curation, reporting, and publishing.
