Scott Hume is a Principal Technical Leader at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
Scott has over 20 years of experience in the design aspects of advanced boiler plant, emission reductions technologies and carbon capture. Prior to joining EPRI, Scott worked at Doosan Babcock in the UK where he engaged in future advanced ultra-supercritical utility concept design, NOx reduction technologies, flue gas desulfurization along with Oxyfuel and post combustion CO2 capture projects.
More recently Scott has focused on modelling supercritical carbon dioxide power cycles, testing carbon capture processes and evaluating bulk energy storage technologies with particular focus on thermal energy storage technologies that offer integration opportunities with advanced thermal plant.
Scott holds a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Energy Systems from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland and is a Chartered Chemical Engineer (CEng) with the Institute of Chemical Engineers in the UK.
