Cecilia Sundberg
Senior lecturer in Bioenergy systems. Analysing environmental impacts of bioenergy system to enable systems with low or negative climate impact. Biochar is a special interest, due to possibility to provide carbon dioxide removal as well as other benefits. Research in Sweden and East Africa.

Teaching

I teach bioenergy, climate and sustainability at the Energy Systems Engineering programme. I work with adminstration of the engineering programmes that SLUhave in collaboration with Uppsala University

Research

My research concerns climate impact and other environmental impacts from bioenergy, food, organic waste and biomaterials. In particular, I am interested in how biochar can improve the impacts from various complex systems, and the methods needed to quantify this. I have projects in Sweden, Kenya and Rwanda.
