Karin has more than 15 years of experience in energy system analysis in a number of different research projects and assignments. Most projects and assignments have been around bio-based value chains and included techno-economic and environmental evaluation of various concepts/ development pathways, including opportunities for CCS/CCU, for industry and the heat and power sector under different conditions regarding, for example, development of energy prices and policy instruments. Karin has been coordinating the BECCS/CCU area at RISE since the beginning of 2021.

System level assessment of nuclear heat for district heating in Sweden

This project aims to explore the potential for integrating nuclear heat, from both existing nuclear power and new dedicated Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), into Swedish district heating systems through comprehensive techno-economic…

Green hydrogen from a socio-economic perspective

This project investigates, from a broader system perspective, the socio-economic consequences of the various choices that can be made regarding the production and distribution of hydrogen and the related infrastructure. The projec…

Climate impact of carbon efficient forest-based value chains

This project explores the use of forest residues and industrial side streams to replace fossil fuels and reduce the climate impact of the energy sector. The project evaluates the effect of increased carbon efficiency in value chai…

Classification and sustainability criteria for renewable fuels

The project maps The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) to identify regarding which types of value chains there is room for interpretation and what consequences it may have. The study complements previous research by comparing RED m…

Hydrogen as alternative for forest industry transports (H2Timmer)

Could hydrogen be an alternative for one of Swedens most challenging transport assignments? This project studies the whole value chain for the hydrogen alternative and compares it with other fossile free fuels.

What role will biomass have in future energy systems?

The use of biomass has become a controversial issue in the debate about future energy systems. Some regard it as essential for the green transition. However, others warn of the negative effects of using forest residues for energy …

Energy system analysis identifies different pathways for energy system transformation

Our energy system needs to be transformed. We need to move away from fossil fuels towards more sustainable solutions. To reach the set targets, several different solutions will be required - and to find out which ones are most eff…

Captured Carbon Dioxide – the road to negative emissions

One of the measures identified as crucial for us to be able to achieve climate goals and net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2045 is the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide. Many techniques for this exist, with varyi…

Expertises in (BE)CCS/CCU

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for strong emission reductions or negative emissions or Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) for sustainable carbon-based products for the industrial and transport sectors are areas that have grown…

Energy system analysis

We make analyses of local, regional and national energy systems focused on societal benefits to provide information for investments, policy and business models. The analyses are performed using a systems perspective and often incl…
