David Von Hippel is a Nautilus Institute Associate working in Eugene, Oregon. David’s work with Nautilus has centered around energy and environmental issues in Asia, and particularly Northeast Asia. He has done extensive analyses of the patterns of fuels use prospects for energy efficiency in the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea (DPRK or “North Korea”, prepared reviews of rural electrification options and of the impacts of climate change/sea-level rise in Asia and the Pacific, and trained representatives in the use of demand-side management planning tools. He is currently involved in several Nautilus projects, including the “East Asia Energy Futures” and related “Pacific Asia Regional Energy Security” initiatives, as well as ongoing work on various aspects of energy use in the DPRK. David’s recent publications with Nautilus include “Fuel And Famine: Rural Energy Crisis In The DPRK”, “Modeling of Clean-Coal Scenarios for China: Progress Report and Initial Results”, “Rural Energy Survey in Unhari Village, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK): Summary of Methods, Results, And Implications”, “Two Scenarios of Nuclear Power and Nuclear Waste Production in Northeast Asia”, Pacific Asian Regional Energy Security: Frameworks for Analysis and Japan Case Study”, “Engaging North Korea on Energy Efficiency”, “Global Dimensions of Energy Growth Projections in Northeast Asia”, and “Technological Alternatives to Reduce Acid Gas”, and “Related Emissions from Energy-Sector Activities in Northeast Asia”. David’s training and experience cover a broad range of topics and applications in the fields of energy and resource planning and environmental management, including energy efficiency, demand-side management and integrated resource planning for utilities, renewable energy, global climate change, acid gas emissions, rural electrification, and energy/environment scenario modeling. In addition to his work with Nautilus, he has worked for a number of private and public agencies, including the World Bank, the United Nations, a domestic (US) gas utility, and Tellus Institute (Boston, MA). Much of his work has focused on training developing-country researchers in government agencies and NGOs from Asia, Africa, and Latin America to use tools and techniques of energy and environmental planning to support sustainable social development. David holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Energy and Resources from the University of California/Berkeley, and M.A. (Biology) and B.S. degrees from the University of Oregon. |
