Biography
Kerryanne M. Leroux, Assistant Director for Integrated CCS and Alternative Energy, holds M.S. and B.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering from UND. Ms. Leroux is currently working on project teams supporting regional hydrogen (H2) industry development, including integrated production, transportation, end use, and geologic storage research, as well as continuing carbon capture and storage (CCS) evaluation and implementation activities. Ms. Leroux also leads teams of scientists and engineers who focus on integrating systems with fossil energy, such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and coal-generated electricity, as well as renewable energy, managing several multimillion-dollar U.S. Department of Energy and private sector CCS projects. She has direct technical experience with assessment of CO2 capture technologies and transportation; implementing and evaluating near-surface and downhole monitoring concepts for geologic CO2 storage; and techno-economic evaluation of CCS applicability for state and federal CO2 reduction incentive programs. Additional areas of interest and expertise include low-carbon chemicals production systems and market evaluation; resource and life cycle assessments; process design and pilot-, demonstration-, and commercial-scale testing; and statistical interpretation, data processing, and modeling.
