Erik Ahlgren
My research is about energy systems transitions, relationships and connections between different time and geographical scales, and between different parts of the energy system. Currently, my research group and I are investigating energy transitions of urban systems, focusing on the role of couplings between different sectors, rural electrification in East Africa, and clean cooking with biogas. The research focuses on understanding local systems and their development over time, and connects technology, economy and environment. Energy system models are important tools. I collaborate with several universities in East Africa, including Addis Ababa University, University of Rwanda and Eduardo Mondlande University (in Maputo). I am responsible for the course Climate - the science, measures and policy, which is given digitally in the evening for the public.
