1/ Green hydrogen is all the buzz right now. In my new policy brief, I take a critical look at hydrogen’s high transport costs, and what it implies for EU policies. To make costs tangible, I created the interactive model below – try it out yourself at https://t.co/LTzbyXDeDD

@SanderTordoir couldn't find the study with the chart - do you have a link? I am skeptical about claims that so much of the overall German malaise is caused by high energy costs, so would be interesting to see how the study arrives there

One year ago Jacques #Delors passed away. Unionist & central banker, civil servant & politician, socialist & market promoter, and above all: a true European. He remains a source of inspiration for so many of us 🇪🇺 @DelorsBerlin @DelorsEurope @DelorsInstitute

Yesterday, Scholz called for subsidies in the EU for electric vehicles. Great to do industrial policy EU-wide -- but how to finance them given that EU-level funds are so tight?

➡️ paper out today on how to better utilize *national* subsidies for EU industrial policy. 🧵 (1/n)

note2: most of the investments will of course be private, and the main levers are improving horizontal conditions (CMU, energy prices, etc.). But: for some of the investments to happen in the EU, they need subsidies, given market failures & foreign subsidies. (17/n)
