Kay McCall and Kevin Doffing Discuss Houston's Roadmap to a Low Carbon Economy

This episode sheds light on how ESG relates to energy transition. The "E" in ESG has connective tissue to the proper management of operational environment impacts and extends to the topic of climate change risk mitigation. Kaitlyn Allen welcomes two renewable energy experts, Kay McCall and Kevin Doffing, to explore the ramifications of the transition to a low carbon economy in the context of Houston.  Kay McCall currently serves as the President and Executive Director of the Renewable Energy Alliance Houston, Houston’s first renewable energy trade association committed to enabling the city to maintain its leadership role in the energy industry. She works to build bridges between companies and professionals in the hydrocarbon and renewables industries. Previously, Kay was President, CEO and board member of Noble Environmental Power, LLC, a wind energy company which operated windfarms in Texas and New York. Global Affairs Associates is honored to have Kay as an advisory board member. Kevin Doffing is an advisor for several cleantech companies, and he provides market intelligence reports on the energy transition to larger firms including foreign consulates looking to advise their domestic firms on doing business in the energy sector. Kevin also serves as an Executive in Residence for Rice University’s Cleantech Accelerator, and he co-founded the Renewable Energy Alliance Houston. With the proper stakeholder engagement, Houston can remain the Energy Capital of the World.  Houston is a resilient city with a history of adaptability and embracing innovation. We simply need leaders from all aspects of the energy industry working in collaboration.
