Minti Patel is a U.S. Energy Policy Fellow with the Polsky Center for the Global Energy Transition, joining through the Pathways to Policy program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her work focuses on advancing clean energy solutions, with particular expertise in hydrogen policy, solar deployment, and life-cycle assessment. She is especially interested in bridging the gap between technical research and accessible, transparent energy policy.

Her projects span industrial decarbonization, clean energy modeling, sustainability reporting, and ecological conservation. She has provided consulting on strategies to reduce industrial emissions, conducted life cycle assessments of green hydrogen for heavy freight and solar PV deployment, evaluated carbon reduction pathways from expanded solar use in Metro Atlanta, and assessed corporate sustainability reporting for consistency with international standards. She has contributed to invasive species management and ecological restoration by leading mapping and data analysis efforts.

Her current research explores global hydrogen policy and lifecycle analysis, examining how carbon intensity thresholds, trade frameworks, and national strategies shape the role of hydrogen in decarbonization. This work reflects her broader commitment to integrating technology, economics, and policy design to accelerate the clean energy transition.

She is currently pursuing a Master of Sustainable Energy and Environmental Management at the Georgia Institute of Technology and holds an Honors Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management and Psychology from the University of Toronto.
