Making energy markets work for a renewable future.
Energy economist at the Technical University of Denmark. I analyse how electricity, hydrogen and green-fuel markets must be designed, priced and modelled so that a power system built on wind and solar stays reliable and affordable.
Expertise
From the design of electricity markets to the economics of hydrogen – research that gives companies, system operators and policymakers a sound basis for decisions.
How markets and regulation must change so that a power system based on renewables stays secure and affordable.
Learn moreWhat moves wholesale power prices, why they fall or spike, and how they can be forecast and simulated.
Learn moreMarket potential, infrastructure, subsidies and regulation for green hydrogen and renewable fuels.
Learn moreModels of European energy systems with high shares of variable renewables, from coal phase-out to dunkelflaute periods.
Learn moreOptimal strategies for trading, storage and flexible assets in sequential electricity markets under uncertainty.
Learn moreSimulating how market participants act and interact, to test market rules and technologies before they are introduced.
Learn moreResearch in focus
A Danish case study of energy hubs found that sufficient amounts of renewable ammonia and methanol are only produced with a price premium of about 50% (around €0.16 per kg) over conventional fuels. Policy design therefore matters as much as technology.

Planning hydrogen infrastructure for Europe as a whole, rather than country by country, supports the rapid scale-up of hydrogen production that climate targets require.
Periods with little wind and sun show whether supply and demand across the European market can still be balanced. Analysing them is essential for judging generation adequacy in a system dominated by renewables.
Collaborate
Whether you are planning a research project, need expert input on energy markets or are looking for a speaker – I look forward to hearing from you.
