Tory joined the climate and energy group at SEI in Somerville in October 2008. As an analyst she works alongside Charlie Heaps carrying out climate scenario analysis and aiding in LEAP training and support. Tory received her degree in mechanical engineering from Tufts University in May of 2008. During her time at Tufts, she spent time researching sustainable development, appropriate technologies for developing countries, and powerplant engineering. In the fall of 2007, Tory presented research in Bologna, Italy on more effective image analysis techniques for capturing movement of mitochondria in living cells. Immediately after graduating, she left for the Dominican Republic to do community development work with the organization AMIGOS de las Americas for three months. In her free time she enjoys rock climbing, biking, speaking Spanish, and eating southern barbeque.

Energy-Water-Climate Planning for Development without Carbon in Latin America and the Caribbean

SEI Report

Author(s): Escobar, M. ; Flores, F. ; Clark, V.
Year: 2011

Research Area(s): Water Resources ; Energy Modeling

Description: Energy is essential for development, but given the urgent need to mitigate climate change, developing nations are under pressure to keep their carbon emissions low. This leaves them with three options: abandon development; ignore climate concerns; or take a third path: finding energy sources that emit little or no carbon. This report focuses on the third option, which we call "development without carbon" (DWC), looking at the viability of hydroelectric power as a low-carbon energy source for Latin America and the Caribbean in a changing climate. Hydropower supplies 46% of the region's electricity, with great untapped potential, but changes in the water supply due to climate change, competing uses, and population growth could thwart further development plans.
This report is part of a package that also includes Development without Carbon: Climate and the Global Economy through the 21st Century.
