Prioritising Renewable Hydrogen End-Uses: A Merit-Order Framework

Chercheurs associésKasser AlbinMaryam SadighiPolitiques sectoriellesPublicationsResearch areaWorking papersCommentaires fermés sur Prioritising Renewable Hydrogen End-Uses: A Merit-Order Framework

Renewable hydrogen remains costly and its availability is constrained. Only 10% of planned global clean hydrogen capacity for 2030 has identified buyers. This raises the question of which end-use sectors should be prioritised as deployment progresses.The paper examines how learning subsidies, targeted demand-side support and production incentives linked to end-use commitments can improve hydrogen allocation.

Closing the Emission Gap: EU CO2 Standards and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles

 Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) occupy a particular position in European CO2 regulation. Their certified emissions depend on a regulatory Utility Factor, which determines the assumed share of driving performed in electric mode. Evidence from real-world driving has shown that this share was substantially overestimated, leading European regulators to revise the UF from 2025 onward. This reform changes the compliance role of PHEV for car manufacturers facing the EU emission standards. This paper quantifies the market, environmental and welfare consequences of this reform.

Technology Neutrality vs. Policy Discrimination: Optimal Policy Design for Competing Green Technologies

The deployment of clean technologies in hard-to-abate sectors is often hindered by high costs and investment risks. Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs) have emerged to mitigate these risks, yet their design raises a central question: should support for competing clean technologies be technology-neutral or technology-specific?

Corporate Strategy for the Green Transition: Are Executive Incentives Effective?

This paper examines whether green incentives embedded in executive compensation schemes are associated with a reorientation of firms’ innovative activities toward environmentally sustainable technologies. Overall, the findings suggest that executive green incentives are associated with the direction, and not merely the volume, of firms’ innovative activities, highlighting the role of internal governance mechanisms in sustainability transitions while recognising the limits of causal inference in observational data.

International Review of Financial Analysis

Chercheurs associésJeanne AmarPublicationsPublicationsSamira DemariaSandra RigotCommentaires fermés sur International Review of Financial Analysis

This study tests if CMP by large firms are linked to higher financial performance.

Most CMP show no impact on Tobin’s Q, suggesting investor indifference to climate action.

EMS certification is linked to lower CFP, possibly due to cost or greenwashing concerns.
GHG targets show a nonlinear link: only very ambitious targets are associated with CFP.
The absence of impact suggests credibility gaps and short-termism hinder market pricing.
