ABOUT TANKA KANDEL
Environmental scientist with a Ph.D. in Agroecology, now dedicated to decarbonizing the transportation sector as a Clean Fuel Lifecycle Emissions Specialist with the New Mexico Environment Department. In this role, I am focused on helping reduce the state\'s greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. My work involves calculating, determining, and tracking the \"well-to-wheel\" carbon intensities of transportation fuels, which is a key component of the state\'s new Clean Transportation Fuel Program. Leveraging extensive experience in GHG flux measurement, modeling, and data analysis, I determine life cycle-based emissions to inform policy and regulation development. With over 35 peer-reviewed publications, I specialize in translating complex scientific findings into actionable insights for regulators, stakeholders, and the public. Eager to connect with industry professionals, policymakers, and researchers to collaborate on innovative, market-based mechanisms for a sustainable, low-carbon future.
