Hagan is an intern with the Chemicals program. In his role, he focuses on researching effective decarbonization pathways and engaging key stakeholders for the chemical industry, all with the goal of accelerating the adoption of low-carbon technologies for net-zero.
Before GMA, Hagan worked on clean hydrogen policy at Clean Air Task Force (CATF), a climate policy nonprofit. There he led the hydrogen team’s analysis on key rule-makings, including the Environment Protection Agency’s 111(d) power plant regulations and the 45V Hydrogen Production Tax Credit. Prior to CATF, Hagan worked in various engineering, operations, and business roles at Air Products and Chemicals (AP). There he modeled natural gas liquefaction processes, led projects at hydrogen and carbon capture plants in Texas, and conducted techno-economic analysis for the world’s longest H2 pipeline network to optimize production costs.
Hagan holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University and is currently a Master in Public Policy Candidate at Yale. He is based in New Haven, Connecticut.
