Professor Jacob Ladenburg is affiliated with the Department of Technology, Management and Economics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on climate policy, renewable energy economics, and socio-economic aspects of carbon capture and storage (CCS). He has led or participated in major projects such as the BIFROST CCS infrastructure initiative and the Wind Reefs project addressing offshore wind farm decommissioning. Ladenburg has received awards including the 2023 Best Reviewer Certificate in Energy Research & Social Science and a Wiley Top Downloaded Article distinction. His work integrates interdisciplinary approaches to assess public acceptance, policy design, and economic valuation of climate mitigation technologies. He supervises PhD students exploring CCS value chains and offshore wind development. Ladenburg’s contributions span peer-reviewed publications, policy advisory roles, and collaborative international networks.

Research interests emphasize sustainable energy transitions, including wind energy spatial planning, CCS infrastructure economics, and the socio-environmental impacts of nature-based solutions. His recent studies analyze stakeholder perceptions of CCS in the Danish North Sea context and the willingness-to-pay dynamics for large-scale renewable energy projects. Ladenburg actively engages in editorial roles for journals such as Energy and Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, reflecting his commitment to advancing energy and environmental scholarship.
