Short description: André P.C. Faaij (1969) is appointed as Professor ‘Energy System Analysis’ at the Copernicus Institute for Sustainable Development (Faculty of Science) of the Utrecht University. He has a background in chemistry and environmental sciences and holds a Ph.D. on energy production from biomass and wastes. He worked as visiting researcher at the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies - Princeton University and at King’s College - London University.

He coordinates a research unit on energy supply and system studies (~25 research staff involved), covering bio-energy, sustainable use of fossil fuels, intermittant energy sources and energy system studies and modeling. In 2000, 2004 and 2007, external evaluations qualified this research as Very Good – Excellent’ with respect to ‘Productivity, Quality, Viability and Societal Relevance’, showing strong international leadership in its’ core areas as Bio-energy and Carbon Capture and Storage.

He supervises a range Ph.D.-projects and jointly coordinates a Master Programme ‘Energy Science/Energy & Resources’. Over the years, he developed and coordinated courses for various curriculae, e.g. on research methods for energy and material systems. He is in particular experienced in research and management of research in a multidisciplinary as well as international setting. Examples are programmes for the National Science Foundation, the 5-year CATO programme on Sustainable use of fossil fuels and a wide range projects for the EC, international bodies and companies. He also initiated the BIOPEC initiative, a Public Private Partnership targeting sustainable biomass production, certification and trade across the globe. To date, he initiated, coordinated and executed over a hundred projects & programmes.

He is a member of a variety of expert groups in bio-energy and energy policy, research and strategic planning. He works as an advisor for governments, the EC, IEA, the UN system, GEF, OECD, WEF, the energy sector & industry, strategic consultancy, NGO’s, etc. He is Task Leader of Task 40 under the Bio-energy Agreement of the International Energy Agency on ‘Sustainable International Bio-energy Trade’ and, in the same framework, acted as national representative in several other tasks. He is an advisor to the UN Biofuels Initiative and FAO’s bioenergy activities, supported by the G8 Global Bio-energy Partnership. In 2008, he joined the IPCC team as Convening Lead Author to draft the Special Report on Renewable Energy, the new Global Energy Assessment (GEA) and he became member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Alternative Energies.
Earlier, he was Lead Author for the World Energy Assessment of the United Nations, the WorldWatch Institute’s book on Biofuels for the 21st Century, the IPCC 4th assessment report and IEA’s World Energy Outlook.

He is board member and works as guest editor for the journal Biomass & Bioenergy and is reviewer for a variety of journals, scientific and government bodies. He published over 450 titles in scientific journals, reports, books and proceedings, (co-) organized a range of international workshops and conferences and is frequently lecturing across the globe.
