Presentation Transcript

  1. studied mathematics and energy economics in Vienna • leader of Environmentally Compatible Energy Systems, IIASA • long experience with energy scenarios and models • co-director of International Energy Workshop (IEW) • leading author in IPCC second report • many publications, two of which have been classified among the top ten ‘most influential papers’ in energy economics • taught in Graz, Vienna, Beijing – had just started a PhD course in Scenario Assessment at KTH… • will be very much missed by his colleagues In memoriam Guest Professor Leo Schrattenholzer Energy and Climate Studies School of Industrial Engineering and Management

  2. Energy and climate strategic platform KTH’s research, education and interaction with industry and society in the field of energy shall contribute with solutions towards sustainable energy systems to meet climate and socio-economic challenges in the world. This will be accomplished by working in the whole spectrum of basic research, product development, systems innovation, and market implementation in national and international collaboration.

  3. Energy and Climate Studies Professor Semida Silveira PhD, Head of division School of Industrial Engineering and Management semida.silveira@energy.kth.se

  4. Energy and Climate Studies at KTH build interdisciplinary team on energy systems studies at KTH create new knowledge on systems studies and climate combine and synthesize research on energy and climate link scientific knowledge with policy and development Energy and Climate Studies at KTH

  5. resource management • multiple use of resources • structural changes in exchange flows between natural and human systems • physical and institutional infrastructure Searching for synergies optimize applications in competitive markets; project structure and finance; risk management; institutions conversion processes and performance; applications; resource management; improved efficiency biodiversity; socio-economic development in rural areas; economic robustness of local and global systems; climate change mitigation and adaptation Energy and Climate Studies at KTH

  6. Advisory board • Thomas Korsfeldt, former Director General for the Swedish Energy Agency (chair) • Monica Gullberg, ÅF • Emi Hijino, Ministry of Environment • Henrik Blomgren, Head of Dept of Industrial Management, KTH • Kurt Karlsson, Swedfund • Matti Parikka, Swedish Energy Agency Energy and Climate Studies at KTH

  7. Facts and figures about the ECS group • Program start Sept 2007 • Start-up budget SEK 13.2 (Swedish Energy Agency 2007-2011) • Other resources 2007-2008 – approx 1.2 million SEK • One post-doc and 6 PhD students in place / one to start June 2009 • Three approved master’s theses • Two new master’s courses on energy policy and climate • Two visiting professors joining 2009 • Cooperation in place • Stockholm Gas – Competitive Gas Options • EUBRANEX, Erasmus Mundus • SEI • Bioenergy cooperation Sweden and Brazil (based on MoU) • UNICAMP, COPPE etc. More in the link: www.energy.kth.se/index.asp?pnr=8&ID=1535&lang=1 Energy and Climate Studies at KTH

  8. Energy and Climate Studies Professor Semida Silveira PhD, Head of division School of Industrial Engineering and Management semida.silveira@energy.kth.se

  9. How to develop, integrate or improve energy systems? • We address constraints and opportunities on the way to sustainability • planning and patterns of energy generation and use • resource competition and management • development needs and preferences • infrastructure and technology systems options • policies and incentives to change and innovate • financial sources and investment opportunities • institutional challenges Energy and Climate Studies at KTH

  10. How to develop and build sustainable energy systems globally? • We search systems solutions that: • satisfy criteria of efficiency, reliability and sustainability • are in line with markets and technology options • respond to climate change and development agendas • explore international co-operation, fully incorporating developing countries Energy and Climate Studies at KTH
