148. 'Breathing Easier with Environmental Engineering' with Tom Rolfson, POWER Engineers

Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Podcast

When headlines feature discussions of cleaning up energy, so often the conversation centers around greenhouse gases, but the truth is that the power sector has had a much longer history as it relates to other air pollutants and the pathway to control and minimize those byproducts. The dynamic intersection of environmental engineering, air quality, and the evolving landscape of energy generation remains a critical conversation as it pertains to the future of energy and how utilities interact with public health and the environment. To dive into this topic, this episode of the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast features Tom Rolfson, Project Manager at POWER Engineers and his many years of experience in the world of environmental engineering. In this episode, Tom takes podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester on a critical exploration of the role of environmental responsibility in the power sector, extending beyond decarbonization to address air pollutants and ensure the health and safety of communities. Listen in as Tom shares wisdom informed by his wealth of experience in air quality permitting and regulatory compliance, offering insights into the changing role of environmental engineers in the clean energy transition.
