Ripu is Killen & Associates energy marketing and technology experts. He will also produce all white papers that a client may require. And, he will co-host the book that will help decision makers deepen their knowledge of our client’s transistion strategy

Ripudaman Malhotra has produced numerous insights into this vast issue from his technical contributions, including energy conversion, such as coal-to-liquid and gas-to-liquid processes, mechanisms of combustion, and the mitigation of pollutants.

As Associate Director of the Chemistry Laboratory at SRI International for 35 years, Dr. Malhotra managed and contributed to projects encompassing process development, mechanistic studies, and chemical analysis of resources and fuels. The work on coal liquefaction and pyrolysis identified novel pathways for hydrogen transfer and changed conventional views of coal conversion processes. The Energy and Fuels Division of the American Chemical Society acknowledged this accomplishment by presenting Dr. Malhotra with the 2015 Henry H. Storch Award. He also received the SRI 2005 Fellows Award, the highest honor SRI bestows on its employees for technical excellence and professional contributions. He is also a Fellow of the American Chemical Society.

He is grasping the bigger picture and educating the world about its energy consumption and sourcing using easily grasped metrics. For example, he co-authored the book, A Cubic Mile of Oil: Realities and Options for Averting the Looming Energy Crisis (with Hewitt Crane and Edwin Kinderman), proposing to use a cubic mile of oil as a standard measure of energy from all sources, thus simplifying analysis and tracking of worldwide energy use. 

He continues publicizing energy and environmental issues with his blog (A Cubic Mile of Oil) and with frequent international presentations. He has delivered invited/plenary presentations at technical symposiums and universities and has given numerous talks at smaller public forums.
