Dr. Richard Boardman is the Team Lead of CTL R&D within the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and the INL Energy Security Initiative lead for establishing capabilities and resources to support clean, reliable, efficient, and secure energy. The INL CTL research team is developing models to support process design and optimization with respect to co-generation of products while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water use.
Dr. Boardman has a degree in chemical engineering with an emphasis in energy and environment applications. He was formerly a research assistant for the Advanced Combustion Research Engineering Center at Brigham Young University with an emphasis in predicting formation and control of pollutants during coal combustion and gasification.
Dr. Boardman joined the INL in 1990 to help develop thermal treatment and off-gas cleanup operations for radioactive wastes. Since 2000, Dr. Boardman has mainly been engaged in clean coal and biomass gasification research, including development of modular-based gasification and synfuels process simulation tools and pilot plant design and testing.
