Techno-economic studies are investigating procurement costs of hydrogen and related derivatives across various international trade routes.

Material balances track material flows which adjust endogenously to economic transactions. Negative environmental effects of resource extraction and waste deposition are assumed and it is shown that taxing resource extraction restores efficiency. Taxing waste only...
We combine theoretical and numerical analysis to derive optimal combinations of output-based allocation of emissions allowances and consumption taxes, where ‘optimal’ means from a global or regional welfare perspective. A key analytical finding is that output-based allocation of emissions allowances and consumption taxes are complements rather than substitutes. A key numerical finding is that the...
