– Road Map Proposal: The Transportation Revolution
Kurt Salloux has over 30 years of experience in science, engineering, research and development, as well as energy system design and construction with an emphasis on energy storage. Dr. Salloux worked with a team of scientists from Hughes’ lithium-ion battery program tasked with designing high-power batteries for Hughes and later Boeing’s next-generation satellite systems. Over the last 10 years, Dr. Salloux has specifically applied his knowledge in electrochemical (battery) energy storage to microgrids and renewable-based power systems. His battery testing patents and successful entrepreneurial background in VC-backed large commercial ventures and managing academic research teams has been ideally suited to increase the reliability and penetration of renewable-based systems. In addition to overall strategy and business development, Dr. Salloux leads the technology team deploying the monitoring, controls, plant simulator and optimization models for the renewable natural gas facilities.
