Joe Kruger joined the National Commission on Energy Policy in December 2005. Previously, he was a Visiting Scholar at Resources for the Future (RFF), where his research focused on the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and emerging U.S. state cap and trade programs. From 1986-2003, he held several staff and management positions at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Most recently, he managed a branch within the Clean Air Markets Division that was responsible for technical and policy analysis of greenhouse gas trading and inventory issues. Prior to that position, he led a group responsible for the initial economic and environmental assessment of the landmark sulfur dioxide trading program. Joe is the author of more than two dozen publications on emissions trading or climate policy and was a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. Joe holds a Master’s degree in Public Policy from the University of California, Berkeley, and an A.B. in Government and Economics from Cornell University.
