Robert Lanza
Robert provides technical support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the preparation of the U.S. National Greenhouse Gas Inventory, including the Energy Sector and the Industrial Process sector. He also has developed and delivered technical training in greenhouse gas emission inventory methods in Manila, Philippines, and Bangkok, Thailand for the U.S. Agency for International Development Low Emissions Asian Development Program. Robert is a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2006 GHG Inventory Guidelines for Petrochemical and Carbon Black Production. He was a lead auditor for third-party verification of the corporate-wide air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions inventory for Petrobras, Brazil, and was a lead investigator for the development of the corporate-wide greenhouse gas emissions inventory for Saudi Arabia Basic Industries.
Robert prepared a study for the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) of alternatives to the federal permitting program for offshore oil and gas operations and was quality assurance manager for regulatory assessment projects for the BSEE. He also provided engineering and programmatic support to the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council for streamlining the infrastructure permitting processes. Robert serves as a quality assurance manager and subject matter expert for the preparation of National Environmental Policy Act documentation for proposed infrastructure projects, including natural gas pipelines, electric transmission lines, passenger and freight rail lines, and other transportation and energy infrastructure projects. He is serving as quality assurance manager for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed 120-megawatt offshore wind project in Delaware and Maryland and has participated in EIS projects for federal agencies including the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Department of Energy, Surface Transportation Board, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
