Linus Engstam
I work with modelling and techno-economic assessment of integrated hydrogen and biogas systems. A main research focus is the climate impact of such systems, especially in regards to electricity consumption.

Presentation

PhD candidate at the Department of Energy and Technology with an interest in power-to-gas and sector coupling within the energy system. I have a background in energy and environmental engineering and aspire to be involved in the development of a more sustainable energy system.

Teaching

At the present I am involved in the course Energy Market Analysis (TN0351) and lecture on power-to-gas in the course Bioenergy - Technology and Systems (TN0352).

Research

My current project aims to investigate the potenital of power-to-gas in biogas plants. By methanizing residual carbon dioxide using electrolytic hydrogen, the plant output can be increased while recycling otherwise wasted carbon dioxide. In a previous project I developed a model for determining hourly grid emission factors with the purpose of more accurately quantifying the climate impact of dynamically operated on-grid electrolyser systems.

I am also involved in a national competence center for biogas research, Biogas Solutions Research Center, as well as the ERA-Net project Power-2-Transport, where we are developing a software platform for optimising power-to-gas systems in an urban transport context.
