Ilkka Keppo

Ilkka Keppo is an Associate Professor at Aalto University's Department of Energy and Mechanical Engineering, with a secondary affiliation in Energy Conversion and Systems. His work focuses on climate policy analysis, energy systems modeling, and sustainable development goals. He has been active since 2001, contributing to over 50 publications and leading two major research projects.

Education includes a Master's in Energy Economics and Power Plant Technology (1999) and a Doctorate in Energy Systems (2009) from Aalto University. His research explores emissions reduction pathways, energy trade dynamics, and consumer decision-making in Nordic energy contexts.

Current projects include 'Solutions for transition: Fair, flexible and socially resilient energy systems' (2023-2026) and 'IAM COMPACT: Expanding Integrated Assessment Modelling' (2022-2025). These initiatives address energy policy design, carbon capture technologies, and hydrogen economy challenges.

Keppo's publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, combining machine learning with energy economics and Bayesian networks for climate technology analysis. His work bridges technical systems modeling with socio-economic policy evaluation, particularly in decarbonization scenarios.
