My main responsibilities are analysing energy efficiency policies and measures in different sectors and evaluating their impact as well as projects dealing with different aspects of sustainable development. Many projects involve international co-operation. Some examples are:- Project Manager of the secretariat of the Working Group set by the Ministry of Environment to prepare a road map for abolishing fossil oil heating in Finland (2020)- Project manager of a 2 M€ project for the Prime Minister's Office to develop the culture of experiments (2018-2019)- Drafting the 3rd National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) for Serbia and an extensive report on MVE methodology (2014-2016)- Analysis on policies and measures for promoting energy efficient electric motors in industry (2015-2016) and on communication campaigns for energy transition (2010), World Energy Council- Participating in the drafting of a policy guide on energy efficiency in the public sector, EU Interreg STEP Project (2014)- Analysis on policies and measures in the building sector (2015) in and in industry (2012) in Europe, the European ODYSSEE-MURE Project

I co-ordinated and conducted energy policy in-depth reviews of the IEA Member countries. The reviews covered the whole energy sector providing an analysis of the energy policy and its effectiveness and giving recommendations how energy policy should be developed to meet the objectives of energy security, economic efficiency and environmental protection. Countries analysed were Belgium, Germany, Greece, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey.

I carried out projects for various clients such as international development banks, the European Commission, private companies and public administrations, including those for different transport modes. The projects covered a wide range of topics including energy use and emissions from transport (including evaluation of external costs), regional energy supply (energy balances, forecasts and strategies), environmental protection and different technologies (cogeneration, district heating and renewable energy sources). In 1994, I worked four months in Jakarta on a market study for consulting services.
