Biography

Anders Hansson is a Professor at Linköping University and leads an interdisciplinary research group called LUNETs (Linköping University Negative Emission Technologies). His research focuses on Negative Emission Technologies (NETs), particularly Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and biochar. Hansson's work includes critical analyses of the political, social, and scientific contexts of different NET methods, as these technologies aim to produce negative greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring sustainability. He has supervised numerous PhD students and has participated in significant research projects funded by well-regarded institutions such as the Wallenberg Foundation and the Swedish Research Council. With an impressive array of external grants supporting research from 2013 to 2026, he investigates the social, techno-economic, and ethical dimensions related to the implementation of biomass-based NETs, particularly in Sweden and Tanzania, contributing to debates about their viability and potential impact on global climate goals.
