WORK HISTORY
Energy Systems Architect @The Transition Accelerator L\'accélérateur De Transition
Calgary, AB, CA
With the Transition Accelerator, I am leading the work to build out credible, compelling transition pathways that will take Canada to a vibrant and sustainable hydrogen economy. My own work in CESAR (University of Calgary) focuses on the opportunity for Alberta, but within the Accelerator, I am working to encourage and support initiatives that engage companies, governments and academics across Canada.

ABOUT DAVID B LAYZELL
David Layzell, PhD, FRSC is a University of Calgary Professor and the Energy Systems Architect for the Transition Accelerator, a non-profit focused on the net-zero energy system transition in Canada. His research uses techno-economic and environmental modeling tools to identify credible, compelling, and capable pathways for transitioning Canada’s energy systems to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by mid-century. His particular interest is how the zero-emission energy carriers, electricity and hydrogen – both produced with very low or zero GHGs - can work together to provide society with its energy needs.Before assisting in the launch of the Transition Accelerator in 2019, David established the Canadian Energy System Analysis Research (CESAR) Initiative at the U of C in 2013, and was Executive Director of the Institute for Sustainable Energy, Environment and Economy at the U of C (2008-12). As a Professor at Queen’s University (Kingston, ON), he set up and ran the BIOCAP Canada Foundation (19••••08), founded a scientific instrumentation company called Qubit Systems Inc. and was elected ‘Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada’ (FRSC) for his research contributions.
