Kenneth Möllersten

Kenneth Karl Mikael Möllersten (born 6 November 1966) is a Swedish researcher. He holds a PhD in chemical engineering and an MSc in mechanical engineering, both from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden. Möllersten is a consultant and researcher at IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, was previously affiliated as a researcher with Mälardalen University[1] and is currently affiliated with KTH.[2]

Möllersten was one of the originators of Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), a technology for negative emissions.[1][3] His work in this area contributed to the original proposal for globally net-negative carbon dioxide emissions as a climate risk management strategy, in 2001,[4][5] and he contributed to several of the initial studies that model the integration of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) through BECCS in global greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement strategies.[6][7][8] In 2002, Möllersten's PhD thesis, moreover, introduced the concept of "carbon-negative production", and proposed that it should be included in R&D portfolios as a means to expand available options for corporate carbon management.[9] Subsequently, Möllersten made further contributions to the early conceptual work on negative emission technologies (NETs) as one of the original proponents of the utilization of biochar for the combined carbon dioxide removal and soil enhancement.[10][11]
