Sustainable Energy Systems – Technology and Business Perspectives
Through a systems approach the areas of decarbonization of energy systems, life cycle assessment, sustainable transport fuels, supply chains, stakeholders' perspective and impacts of COVID-19 on the SDGs, are all parts of this research.
Background
As part of the IRIS project, I have been working in the areas of decarbonization of energy systems, life cycle assessment (LCA), sustainable transport fuels, and impacts of COVID-19 on the SDGs. A few master’s thesis reports are also developed on this research theme.
