Ruven Fleming is Assistant Professor of Energy Law at the University of Groningen and works as Legal Project Manager on hydrogen projects at the German Fuel Institute (DBI), Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (TU Freiberg), Germany. His research interest is energy law, with a particular focus on hydrogen, 'unconventional' forms of energy production, renewable energy and energy investment and trade law. Fleming has published widely on hydrogen regulation in various publishing outlets. He is an editor of the standard reference work Encyclopedia of Energy Law, Climate Change and the Environment (2021) and a number of other energy law books. He also authored the monograph Shale Gas, the Environment and Energy Security (2017) and has written numerous book chapters as well as articles in international law journals. Fleming is a member of the editorial board of the Elgar European Energy & Climate Journal. He regularly advises governments and national parliaments on energy law-related issues and has received grants from the European Commission and the Dutch Science Organization (NWO) as well as other European and national organisations for various research and educational projects. He undertook undergraduate law studies in Germany at the University of Marburg and went on to study Russian at Moscow State University Lomonossow/Russia as well as gaining work experience at a Russian/German law firm in Moscow. Prior to the commencement of his research in Groningen, he received a master's degree in oil and gas law (LLM) as well as a PhD in law from the University of Aberdeen, UK.
