Doran CV 2012  

Kevin Doran, J.D., is an Institute Fellow and Assistant Research Professor at the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), a joint institute of the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he leads the Law & Policy Group.

Prior to this appointment, Professor Doran was the Senior Research Fellow to the University of Colorado at Boulder Law School's Center for Energy and Environmental Security. Professor Doran is also the Managing Director for the Carbon Management Center (CMC), a multi-year research collaboration between the University of Colorado, NREL, the Colorado School of Mines, and Colorado State University.

Professor Doran's research focuses on the legal, regulatory and public policy dimensions of energy development.  Most recently his research has involved an examination of the strategic and public policy implications of shale gas development, the increasing role of natural gas in the electricity sector, and the usage of enhanced oil recovery and financial incentives to catalyze development of carbon capture and storage.  

Professor Doran holds a faculty appointment at the Colorado Energy Research Institute located at the Colorado School of Mines. He is the author and co-author of numerous scholarly articles and book chapters on climate and energy law and policy. He is also the co-author of International Environmental Law in a Nutshell (3d ed., West 2007), one of the most widely used textbooks on international environmental law.
