Holger Rogner

Dr. Hans-Holger Rogner re-joined IIASA as a guest scholar after his retirement from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in late 2012. At IAEA, he was managing IAEA's Programme C which includes the Planning and Economic Studies Section (PESS), the International Nuclear Information Section/Nuclear Knowledge Management Section (INIS/NKM) and the Library. Besides the overall management responsibilities, Dr. Rogner programmatic activities focused on (a) capacity building in the field of energy-economy-environment analysis and planning in developing country Member States), (b) analyzing and interpreting the potential contribution of nuclear power to sustainable energy development and mitigating climate change, (c) providing authoritative nuclear information and knowledge management services to IAEA Member States and (d) comprehensive but technologically neutral energy system modeling (demand and supply).

Before joining the IAEA in 1997, Dr. Rogner was the Director of the System Analysis Group of the Institute for Integrated Energy Systems (IESVic) at the University of Victoria, Canada, where he also held an Adjunct Professor position with the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His main research focus was on energy system transformation towards hydrogen energy systems.

Dr. Rogner is an expert in the application of systems analysis to long-term energy demand and supply issues and their underlying driving forces, i.e., economic development and growth as well as innovation and technology and social change. His work focuses on the identification of techno-economically feasible paths to sustainable energy systems. Typically, his analyses involve the entire energy system from resource extraction to the provision of energy services. Options are viewed through the lenses of technology and innovation as well as economic, environmental, socio-political and international compatibility.

Dr. Rogner provides leadership and guidance to international and multi-disciplinary research teams. He also serves as a consultant to private and public sector organizations. The results of his research assist the formulation of long-term energy policy targets for national and international institutions. Utility and other private sector energy business underpin their corporate planning and investment strategies with Dr. Rogner’s comprehensive energy systems analyses. Since 1993 he has been involved in the activities of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as lead author or coordinating lead author.

Because of his longstanding working relationship with the International Institute for Applied System Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, Dr. Rogner continues to collaborate closely in the area of global environmentally compatible energy strategies, energy resource assessments, technology dynamics and climate change.

He is also an Affiliate Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden.
