Kat Janowicz, author of 'Chasing Zero: The Story of How the Busiest US Ports Cut Pollution, Reshaped Industries, and Influenced Geopolitics in the Ongoing Quest for Clean Air,' provides an in-depth look into the transformative journey of the LA and Long Beach ports within the realm of international trade. Her book delves into the inner workings of the goods movement industry, focusing on decarbonizing the global supply chains linked to these ports. 'Chasing Zero' celebrates human innovation and collaboration towards achieving a sustainable, carbon-neutral future and honors those dedicated to solving complex environmental, economic, and technological challenges.

As a leading environmental and business strategist in energy, transportation, technology, infrastructure, and global trade, Kat's expertise includes advancing regional competitiveness, a skill honed through years of assessing clean technologies, demonstration projects, infrastructure upgrades, and their associated risks to facilitate informed decision-making. She has worked extensively on solutions across cargo handling, transportation, and logistics, including equipment, trucks, ships, rail, public transit, and transport corridors. Her collaborative efforts with both public and private sector organizations, alongside local communities, cover a broad spectrum of projects and initiatives.

With nearly three decades of experience, Kat has gained a deep understanding of project and product lifecycles, from planning and engineering design through construction to operations and maintenance. She managed large commercial and industrial facilities and complex infrastructure projects, including the development of renewable and nuclear power plants. She puts a premium on education, training, and lessons learned and is frequently invited to speak on these topics. She also serves on the board of several trade associations.
