Energy Solutions Forum Presents Sabbie Miller

Decarbonization of Industrial Materials Manufacturing

The industrial manufacturing of materials is a significant source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For some materials, emissions stem from energy-intensive production processes, while for others, they result from their large-scale consumption. This seminar will present key factors contributing to GHG emissions, discuss strategies for reducing these emissions, and highlight future advancements to minimize the environmental impact of widely used materials.

Join us as we look at decarbonizing industry materials manufacturing with Sabbie Miller.

Dr. Miller is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Davis, a Faculty Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Director of the Materials Decarbonization and Sustainability Center at UC Davis. Her research integrates life cycle assessment with material performance methods to guide materials discovery, focusing on strategies that reduce environmental burdens and enhance supply chain resilience through resource independence.

This talk is part of a series designed to bring together leading researchers across disciplines in science, engineering and business to advance understanding of solutions-focused topics relating to climate and energy.

Parking is available in the Brian Whalen Parking Complex (on Virgina Street near Lawlor).
