Dr Martin Beuse

From September through November 2019, Martin Beuse was a Visiting Researcher at C-EENRG working with Prof. Laura Diaz Anadon. At the time, he was a PhD candidate with the Energy Politics Group at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), working on battery technologies and distributed energy. His research focused on the intersection of engineering and public policy. The research collaboration that was started then has been ongoing since. As a C-EENRG Researcher, Martin was developing cost models to quantify technology spillovers in lithium-ion batteries. The objective of this work was to understand the role of spillovers in technological progress and to derive implications for public policy to accelerate innovation in clean energy technologies.

Martin has extensive international experience in the energy industry. After completing his PhD at ETH Zurich, he joined E3/DC as Head of Strategy & Business Development in 2021. Prior to that, as Senior Consultant for e.on, he supported the ramp-up and internationalization of the PV and battery business. As an independent advisor he supported startups, incumbents, and investors with insights on battery technology, markets and business models in increasingly decentralized, decarbonized, and digital energy systems.

Martin holds a PhD in Battery Engineering & Public Policy from ETH Zurich, and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from TU Braunschweig (Germany), during which he gained additional work experience with Siemens, RWE Power, RWE Consulting (Germany, Czech Republic), and NORD/LB (NYC, US).
