Lasse Læbo Matthiesen is a postdoc with CSEI and the University of Copenhagen Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management. His main research interest is on the social acceptance of landscape changes, with a particular interest in the infrastructure driving the green transition.
He holds a PhD in environmental economics from the University of Copenhagen on non-marked valuation of amenities and risks. His PhD project was in part working on the Green Net National Product setting values for the recreational value of Danish Forest cover. In the paper Welfare Effects and the Immaterial Costs of Coastal Flooding he and his coauthors disentangle the welfare economic cost from coastal flooding to better understand the protection needs caused by increased risk of floods. As part of CSEI, he will focus on the acceptance of Carbon Capture utilization and storage and Power to X- and energy infrastructure in Denmark in line with the Danish governmental plan for hydrogen production backbone.
