Abstract:
The achievement of European energy and climate targets is increasingly challenged by international trade of energy and energy intensive goods that impact the effectiveness of domestic GHG mitigation. Increasing flexibility regarding the location of renewable electricity generation and its trade opens up new opportunities for decarbonising the economy, but adds to the complexity in designing effective and fair climate and energy policy. This project aims to address these challenges by carrying out a comprehensive model-based analysis of technological options, with a focus on solar power, as well as of economic impacts, and normative considerations.
