Katerina Kermeli is a researcher in the Energy & Resources Group of the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development working since 2010 on a variety of projects related to industrial energy efficiency and decarbonisation.
For the U.S. EPA she developed Energy Guides (Guidelines) for a variety of industries, from the minerals and chemical industries to food processing industries all identifying measures/technologies for decreasing energy use and material intensity while providing insights on investment costs and changes in the operational and maintenance costs. Under the ADVANCE project, she advised energy models on key areas for model improvements and developed methods/guidelines for incorporating bottom-up details. Recently, in the sEEnergies project (H2020), she guided the EnergyPLAN model team develop the IndustryPLAN model which can make energy efficiency and deep decarbonization scenario analysis for the EU industry.
She holds a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Aristotle University in Greece. In 2011 she obtained her MSc degree from Utrecht University on Sustainable Development and in 2021 she defended her PhD thesis at Utrecht University with the title "From baselines to deep reductions: Improving the modelling of industrial energy demand".
