Short presentation
I explore how to achieve transitions to more sustainable energy systems. An important research interest is to investigate time perspectives of energy transitions and the importance of technological change, especially the connections between technology and the use of natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions. My research has covered several different technologies from various part of the energy system, including wind energy, photovoltaics, batteries, and electric vehicles.
