Expertise
I am a leading researcher in the Climate solutions unit. For the past 20 years I’ve been working on different research and development projects in the field of climate change mitigation and environmental assessment. My expertise particularly lies in life cycle assessment (LCA) and other life-cycle based methods. My work has focused on the methodology development and assessment of energy production and storage technologies, circular economy solutions, bioresources and electronics. I have done research on the sustainable energy production solutions in the Arctic.
