Marcus Gustafsson

Associate Professor, Docent

I work with research and education on biogas systems, carbon dioxide utilization and lifecycle assessment.

Associate professor in Environmental technology and management

I am associate professor at the division of Environmental technology and management at Linköping University, in the unit of Industrial and urban symbiosis. My research is related to environmental systems analysis and policy, with projects on biogas systems and carbon dioxide utilization. I teach and supervise many student projects within lifecycle assessment.
