Research topics and approach: My research has a strong focus on internationally comparative environmental law, with an emphasis on energy and climate change law, examining the legal and policy barriers to increased investment in renewable energy. It is united by several common themes: (1) comparative international analysis of barriers and drivers of renewable energy investment; (2) questions of regulation of competition between firms in the electricity market and the influence of regulatory frameworks on disruptive technological innovations; and (3) a series of international and/or local industry-based case study approaches. The latter include: (i) institutions and governance of international electricity interconnections; (ii) regulation of wind energy projects; (iii) regulation of mercury emissions from conventional generation; and (iv) legal frameworks to encourage emerging renewable energy technologies including EVs, hydrogen, renewable biomethane, energy storage and micro-grids, solar thermal power with storage.
