David Klein is a researcher in Research Domain III - Sustainable Solutions. His research focuses on the assessment of land-based mitigation options, in particular the deployment of bioenergy for climate change mitigation. His recent work has examined the global economic long-term potential of modern biomass. He is member of the Model Operations Group, the Global Energy Systems Group and the Landuse group. He studied Energy Engineering at the Technical University of Berlin. Before joining PIK in December 2008, he worked as developer of simulation software for solar cooling systems at Valentin Energiesoftware.
Research interests
- Assessment of land-based mitigation options
- Bioenergy in global long-term climate change mitigation pathways
- Model based estimates of the global potential of biomass
- Development of an integrated model framework of energy-economy-climate (ReMIND) and land-use (MAgPIE)
Current and past projects
- EMF-27 study by the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum (EMF)
