Anders Nordelöf

Anders Nordelöf is a professor of Environmental Systems Analysis here at VTI. He is also active as a researcher and lecturer at Chalmers, where he represents the university as theme leader for the theme area Environment & Society within the Swedish Electromobility Centre – a national competence centre for electromobility.

Anders earned his PhD and later also his docent level appointment at Chalmers University of Technology. He conducts research on how technologies for energy conversion and energy storage affect the climate and the environment, with a particular focus on the electrification of the transport system. His work covers road traffic, shipping, and aviation, aiming to contribute with knowledge that can guide the development of technical solutions with lower environmental impact and increased long-term sustainability.

I often collaborate with researchers from other disciplines and get to learn new things. I really enjoy that, and it makes my job very stimulating. My research focusing on batteries feels especially exciting right now, because the pace of technological development is incredibly fast.

The research ranges from detailed analyses at the component level to broad system perspectives, and is based on life cycle assessment (LCA) and other environmental systems analysis tools. Method development within LCA and strategies for circular economy are also important parts of Anders’ research profile.
