Dr. Jeffrey Goldmeer is the Director of Energy Transition Technologies at GE Vernova, where he responsible for developing a unified strategy for hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives. He is also co-creator and co-host of GE’s award-winning decarbonization podcast, Cutting Carbon, which has over 130,000 downloads and listeners in 155 countries.
Dr. Goldmeer has more than 20 years of experience with a focus on fuels, gas turbine combustion technology, and the power industry. He started his career as a National Research Council Research Associate at NASA’s Glenn Research Center examining fundamental combustion phenomena.
Dr. Goldmeer joined GE in 2001 at the company’s Advanced Research Center as a Combustion Research Engineer and later become the Manager of the Research Center’s Combustion Systems Lab. Dr. Goldmeer joined the gas turbine division in 2007 where he focused on developing technologies and commercial strategies for alternative fuels, including hydrogen, syngas, ethane, biofuels, biodiesel, refinery gases, and crude oils. Notable achievements include first of a kind operation of Aeroderivative, F-class, and H-class gas turbines on blends of hydrogen and natural gas. More recently, he led a team evaluating the use of ammonia as a power generation fuel resulting in a joint development agreement with IHI focusing on development of a 100% ammonia capable combustor for GE’s F-class gas turbines.
Dr. Goldmeer is a global expert who has been invited to support policy discussions, technical meetings, and webinars with multiple government, non-government policy/advocacy organizations, universities, and investment firms. These include the US Department of Energy, the US National Academy of Sciences, the Business Council of Australia, Princeton University, the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Bank of America.
Dr. Goldmeer has over 80 conference papers and presentations, multiple trade journal articles, and contributed to three recent books on hydrogen and renewable fuels. In addition, in 2021 the US Department of Energy’s Office of Basic Science invited Dr. Goldmeer to author a summary on hydrogen gas turbines for a report on hydrogen technologies.
Dr. Goldmeer holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Case Western Reserve University, and a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). He also holds 13 US patents on a variety of combustion and propulsion technologies.
