We analyse the feasibility of implementing CCS, including how this varies significantly across different plants. Core policy implication: investment support for CCS in waste-to-energy should not be reserved exclusively for pioneer projects, as there are limits to learning across plants.

Dutch government will found a state energy company to build and operate the nuclear power plants it's aiming for.

As expected, producing and distributing enough low-carbon electricity is considered a key challenge. But there are also notable differences between the two countries; for example, Norwegian participants are more skeptical towards the possibility of reaching climate goals.

Do policies have a scalar orientation? Yes they do! And it matters for whether specific technologies are deemed as relevant for receiving support. We develop a novel framework depending on the focus on domestic/global challenges and whether domestic/global policy effects are prioritised
