Julia Hansson

Visiting Researcher at Maritime Studies

Julia Hansson's research aims to provide perspectives on renewable fuels for transport and future bioenergy use in a global, European and Swedish policy context using mainly energy system and policy analysis. For example, it includes assessments of different sustainability aspects and future marine fuels. The findings are of interest for policy makers, industry and other researchers. Julia is a researcher at Chalmers at part-time and she also works at IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute.
