Mark Z. Jacobson Biography

Mark Z. Jacobson is professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University and director of the Atmosphere and Energy Program there. Mark develops computer models about the effects of different energy technologies and their emissions on air pollution and climate. According to him the wind water and solar power can be scaled up in cost-effective ways to meet our energy demands freeing us from dependence on both fossil fuels and nuclear power. In 2009 together with Mark A. Delucchi he published Plan to Power 100 Percent of the Planet With Renewables in Scientific American. The article addressed a number of issues such as the worldwide spatial footprint of wind turbines the availability of scarce materials needed for manufacture of new systems the ability to produce reliable energy on demand and the average cost per kilowatt hour. A more detailed and updated technical analysis has been published as a two-part article in the journal Energy Policy. He has also served on the Energy Efficiency and Renewables advisory committee to the U.S. Secretary of Energy and, in 2013, was invited to talk about his world and U.S. clean-energy plans on the Late Show with David Letterman. In 2016, he received a Cozzarelli Prize from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
