Christoph Menke is a professor of energy technology at the Trier University of Applied Science, Germany for 20 years. He also is a distinguished professor at the Joint Graduate School of Energy and Environment (JGSEE) in Bangkok, Thailand since 2004. In addition, he has worked for many international organizations such as The World Bank, TATA Energy Research Institute in India, the Caribbean Development Bank, and the German International Cooperation (GIZ).

Christoph Menke is a senior expert in energy technologies such as combined heat and power, industrial energy efficiency technologies, and solar thermal technology. He has also conducted work as a senior advisor for energy policy and energy planning and has extensive experience in energy systems analysis and energy systems planning. Since 2000, Dr. Menke has been active in energy policy planning in ASEAN countries, mainly Thailand, The Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. In addition, he has been a senior energy policy advisor to GIZ in the Philippines since 2010 to assist in the implementation of renewable energy law and energy efficiency policy in the country. He has more than 65 publications in international journals and international conferences. Dr. Menke has a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany.

Ed Rightor is currently consulting in the areas of industrial decarbonization, identification of unmet market needs, and sustainability. He is the past Director of the Center for Clean Energy Innovation at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. Prior to ITIF, he was the Director of the Industrial Program for the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In that role, Ed developed and led the strategic vision for the industrial sector, shaped the research and policy agenda, and convened stakeholders to accelerate energy efficiency and carbon emissions reductions.

Prior to joining ACEEE, held several leadership roles at Dow Chemical during his 31-year career. His work includes driving reductions in energy, air, water, and waste. He led teams to establish and pursue Dow’s 2025 and 2015 Sustainability Goals. Working across global industrial associations, he spearheaded a roadmap for the chemical industry on paths to reduce energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Earlier, he started a new market-facing business in the energy sector, led cross-functional teams to optimize processes (Six Sigma), pioneered technology that led to new materials development, and led teams to troubleshoot production challenges.

He earned a doctorate in chemistry from Michigan State University and a bachelor of science in chemistry from Marietta College.
