The vision - is a fully integrated energy system where heating, cooling, electricity, waste & water etc. are interlinked to maximize synergies and cost effeciency in a way that increases flexibility and sustains the basis of the "livable city". This requires strong leadership and clever socioeconomic dispositions.I have a background within mechanical and refrigeration engineering with specific focus on energy system analyses, heat pump applications and sector integration. In my daily work I have been as fortunate as to take part in some truly pioneering projects that strengthens sustainable development and livability in most parts of the world. This includes energy system development based on energy production from CHP, industrial size heat pumps solar thermal plants with seasonal storage and PtX.
