• Developing a spatial database for energy planning in Sweden

  There are multiple interesting spatial and non-spatial datasets relevant for energy available in the Nordics, but these are scattered among various official and unofficial data providers. The objective of this thesis is to develop a workflow which creates an updatable, unified and coherent spatial database containing all the relevant data sources for energy planning research. Harmonising spatial datasets would help drive forward new branches of energy research that combine location and place, demand and supply.

• Developing a transport demand model for whole system energy planning in Sweden

  The objective of the thesis is to develop a vehicle stock model to investigate decarbonisation pathways for the Swedish transport sector.

• Developing a residential demand model for whole system energy planning in Sweden

  The objective of the thesis is to develop a national model of residential/building demand using the highest spatially and temporally resolved data that is feasible in the timeline of the project. This might include building outline datasets to calculate floor area or population microsimulation to estimate building occupancy. Ultimately, estimates of demand for energy services should be produced. These information will be implemented into the OSeMOSYS Nordic model to investigate the role of fuel switching, alternative heat sources and electrification in the demand sector as a mitigation option.

• Climate impact of renovation projects in the built environment– zooming in on technical installations

  This master's thesis aims to contribute new insights by quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the renovation of technical installations in buildings. Students selecting this project will actively define tasks to achieve their research goals within the established timeline. While supervisors assist in designing project milestones, students bear responsibility for data collection and analysis.

• Enhancing Socio-Economic Impact Assessment in Climate-Compatible and Self-Sufficient Rural Communities through Integrated Resource Optimization Models

  This thesis aims to develop a model to support resource-management decision-making while accounting for the potential of self-sufficient communities' job creation and loss effects of investments and policy decisions and to generate evidence on the potential for climate-compatible and self-sufficient rural communities.

• Language Models for Policy Analysis at SEI

  Scale the process by which human experts review policy documents to find evidence of alignment with sustainability targets using large language models. Validate model results compared to human expert pool.

• Developing an integrated resource optimization model of a river basin in Kenya

  The overall goal of thesis is to create and develop the open-source, long term infrastructure Planning and Optimisation tools, for the application cases of the Tana River basin. A detailed, long term and geospatially explicit (basin level) water-energy-food (WEF) nexus model for optimising infrastructure development subject to a multitude scenario conditions, and possibly, soft-linking existing models in the CLEWs framework, with geospatial tool OnSSET guiding the spatial detailing.
