Katheryn Scott

United States Department of Energy, Office of Technology Transitions

General Engineer

Katheryn Scott leads projects for the Office of Technology Transitions’ (OTT's) market analysis team including two Pathway to Commercial Liftoff Reports: Industrial Decarbonization and Long Duration Energy Storage. Liftoff reports act as market diligence for public and private investors to inform commercialization strategy of priority technology areas. These reports and other market analysis inform DOE strategy and identify commercialization opportunities across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the 17 National Laboratories. OTT’s market analysis efforts also helps connect private sector counterparts with relevant DOE and lab expertise. Prior to OTT, Katheryn worked as a consultant with Bain & Company supporting clients in commercial diligence and operational analysis focused on technical industries from mining to healthcare. Before consulting, she had experience in material science research across MIT Labs and Honeywell UOP. Katheryn received a MMSc from Tsinghua University in Beijing funded by a Schwarzman Scholarship and a BS in Material Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

    Solutions to Decarbonize Hard-to-Abate Sectors
    Carbon Management/Decarbonization

    Hard-to-abate sectors have many decarbonization approaches available to consider. These include changing manufacturing processes and operations to reduce costs and emissions; waste heat integration; utilizing lower-carbon materials and feedstocks; electrification; energy efficiency; using renewable power; as well as participating in low-carbon hubs with CCUS and hydrogen. How are different industries selecting viable solutions? Which solutions can save costs or boost revenue as well as cut emissions? What emerging solutions could transform some of these harder-to-abate sectors?
