Dr David Batten
Leader, Algal Pre-feasibility Study
CSIRO Energy Transformed Flagship
David first joined CSIRO in 1970, his work then
culminating in a PhD in Regional Economics
and leadership of the Regional Development
Team. In the eighties, he worked on a global
forest sector model at the International Institute
for Applied Systems Analysis (near Vienna) and
in 1986, he was appointed to a Chair in
Infrastructure Economics in Sweden. From
1991-95, he held the concurrent position of
Professorial Fellow at the Institute for Futures Studies, a scientific think tank in
Stockholm.
During his years in Sweden, David's work stressed the importance of evolutionary
approaches to industrial development, including the future of biomass, energy
and transportation. He specialized in substitution analysis of new for old
technologies. System analytic tools - that focus on the dynamic
interdependencies between the components of these complex systems - have
underpinned his research and continue to do so.
In 2002, David was invited to return to CSIRO to lead several "One-CSIRO"
activities, including the "Wealth from Waste" Stream in CSIRO's Water for a
Healthy Country Flagship and CSIRO's Energy Transformed Flagship. In 2005, he
joined the Alternative Transport Fuels Project as the team's senior economist and
international analyst, and he began to search for novel pathways for wastewater
streams. He now leads that project.
