About Ben Carmichael
I work at the intersection of energy innovation and technology development to build partnerships, shape strategy, and advance projects that move the energy industry forward. I have specific expertise in nuclear, hydrogen, carbon capture, and industrial decarbonization. I’m a licensed Professional Engineer with degrees in electrical and civil engineering from Auburn University and in sustainability from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I’ve spent most of my career at Southern Company, one of the leading energy companies in the US, in a variety of roles that have taught me how to think critically and creatively about the opportunities and challenges in the energy industry so that I can help ensure that we have safe, reliable, and affordable energy to power our families and communities.
