Kenneth Möllersten

I have worked over 25 years in the interface between greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation technology and climate policy. My current research is focused on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), the net-zero transformation, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, Voluntary Carbon Markets, and methods for GHG accounting and reporting.

I was involved in the early conceptualisation of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) (2001) and Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR) (2004) and some of the first model-based global scenarios featuring BECCS and globally net-negative CO2 emissions published (2001-2010).

I have represented Sweden in the executive committee of the IEA GHG R&D Programme and was national team leader of the IEA Annex GHG Balances of Bioenergy Systems. I am a current member of the Article 6.4 mechanism Roster of experts as “Methodologies Expert” and WG2/Env Mgmt "Greenhouse gases" of the Swedish Institute for Standards.

I hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering and an MSc in Mechanical Engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, and completed my postdoctoral training at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Vienna.
