Research
The global energy system is in transition. Within the next ten to fifteen years historic investments must be made into new forms of energy production and infrastructure to stop catastrophic warming of the planet.
My research examines the contradictions and difficulties that have emerged in large-scale energy investment as the transition begins. I am also more broadly interested in the history of capitalist development and its relationship to energy and natural resource production, as well as the impact this changing relationship has had on social equality and political life.

Directing European Commission funded research project Materializing Renewable Capital (MaRC).
MaRC investigates how the unique material properties of several key renewable energy and critical mineral production processes may inhibit or encourage large-scale capital investment. This research is based at Uppsala University.
