Energy perspectives with Olle Olsson of Stockholm Environment Institute
Channel: Inside Ideas
Date: 2021-06-08

Dr. Olle Olsson is my guest on Episode 101 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. 

Olle is a Senior Research Fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), where his work is focused on socio-technical transitions, primarily in the fields of energy and climate change mitigation. His research looks at the interplay between technology, business models, and public policy and how different factors across these areas need to align to make something a viable solution. One of his key interests at the moment is trying to understand the role of different forms of scale economies in technological transitions.
