Dr. Greenberg's practice areas span the clean technologies (cleantech) sector, including renewable energy, transportation electrification and alternative fuels, hydrogen, energy-efficient buildings and manufacturing, critical minerals and advanced materials, energy storage, electric transmission and distribution, and carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS). While primarily focused on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), he has assisted client engagements with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
