2006 SAE International Environmental Excellence in Transportation (E2T) Award Runner-Up

Michael Wang of Argonne National Laboratory was honored as a runner-up in the "New Methods and Tools" category of the prestigious Society of Automotive Engineers' (SAE's) International Environmental Excellence in Transportation (E2T) Awards. Wang, of Argonne's Center for Transportation Research, received the award for his development of Argonne's GREET software tool, which is used to evaluate the energy and emission impacts of advanced vehicle technologies and new fuels. Since its release, GREET has become a familiar and respected analytical tool, with more than 3,000 registered users worldwide among governmental agencies, automotive companies, energy companies, universities and research institutions, and non-governmental organizations. The E2T awards, established in 2000, recognize individuals who contribute significant innovations — in education, new methods and tools, energy and emissions, recycling and remanufacturing, process innovations, materials development, and noise management — to reduce the environmental impact caused by the transportation industry.
