Transcript Welcome to KTH - Energimyndigheten
In memoriam
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

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 .

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

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
