I analyze the future competitiveness of fossil-free fuel production in dynamic energy markets and evolving policy environments. My work focuses on how market dynamics, carbon pricing, and climate policy shape investment decisions and technological transitions in sustainable fuel systems.
I combine economic analysis with market and policy scenario modeling to quantify how price volatility, regulatory incentives, and electrification trends influence investment and deployment. A central aspect of my research is explaining why investments in climate-neutral technologies are often delayed, despite strong long-term incentives.
My objective is to deliver decision-relevant insights that support industry, policymakers, and energy planners in reducing investment risk and enabling faster deployment of fossil-free fuel solutions.
