Dr. Girod, Bastien

Bastien Girod works as senior researcher at Prof. Hoffman’s Chair for Sustainability and Technology (SusTec) at the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics of ETH Zurich.

His research centers on the socio-techno-economic changes required to reduce environmental impacts especially greenhouse gas emissions. Past research includes contributions in the field of long term climate change scenarios, environmental assessment of household consumption, Life-Cycle-Assessment, rebound effects and global energy modelling in the field of transportation. At SusTec he currently investigates the framework conditions enabling firms in the power sector to invest towards low carbon technologies, in particular energy efficiency.
