Anders Nordelöf

Visiting Researcher at Environmental Systems Analysis

Using life cycle assessment (LCA), and other environmental systems analysis tools, Anders Nordelöf's research investigates how new and existing technologies for enery conversion and energy impacts on the climate and the environment. The main focus is set on the electrification of the transport system and vehicle technologies for the road, sea vessels and aircraft. The aim is to provide advice and guidance for the development of technology with reduced environmental impact and increased long-term sustainability. The research includes both in-depth technical mapping at component level, as well as an overall systems perspective. Methodological development of LCA and strategies for a circular economy are also important parts.

Since the fall 2024, Anders Nordelöf works part-time at Chalmers , in parallel with a role as Professor at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, VTI. Prior to this, he worked as Senior Researcher on full time at Chalmers, and he has obtained his PhD degree and docent level appointment at Chalmers. Earlier on he was a Business Area Manager at Consat AB, an engineering firm. Since 2022, Anders also has a smaller role as guest researcher and LCA expert advisor at the Institute of Transport Economics in Olso, Norway.


On behalf of Chalmers, Anders Nordelöf is also theme leader for the research area Environment & Society within the Swedish Electromobility Center, a national competence center for electromobility with Chalmers as the host university.
