Summary
Kim Domptail is an environmental engineer and regional market leader based in Irvine, California, with nearly a decade of hands-on experience and over 15 years working across international development and waste-to-energy sectors. At GHD she leads Future Energy for the US West region, scaling projects from anaerobic digestion and landfill gas-to-RNG to hydrogen blending in natural gas systems, and previously managed waste management programs across multiple states. Her career blends field project delivery in challenging contexts (Djibouti, Kenya, Uzbekistan, Latin America, and Asia) with donor-funded feasibility studies and technical assistance for AFD, ADB, IDB, WB and USAID. Trained at École des Ponts and Johns Hopkins, she pairs rigorous engineering and spatial analysis skills with growing data-analytics capability, applying quantitative methods to optimize resource recovery and methane mitigation. Notably, she has bridged technical research (CCS and landfill bioreactors) with practical implementation, making her adept at turning complex environmental assessments into fundable, operational projects.
