PROGRAMME DAY 1

09:00Morning coffee and registration
09:30Moderator´s introduction

Anders Nordelöf, PhD, Docent & Senior Researcher, Environmental Systems Analysis, Chalmers University of Technology.
Anders Nordelöf's research investigates how technologies for electric propulsion change the environmental impacts of road vehicles and other types of vehicles for transportation and industry, using life cycle assessment (LCA) and other environmental systems analysis tools.
