Should countries like Germany outsource the production of green materials? Just the hydrogen, the intermediate, or the full product? This paper from Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK has some answers! Spoiler: outsourcing intermediate products saves most of costs, allows to keep higher value chain

This is entertaining. Leonie Wenz, who I know as super smart and calm, responds sharply to the polemic criticism of Prof Dr Richard S.J. Tol MAE - while mirroring his format. I hope that the next exchange with Prof Dr Richard S.J. Tol MAE is in a setting that does more justice to your excellent science.
