Abstract

• SMR remains cheapest under current policies; renewables gain under stronger policy support. • Time-matching rules cut project value; monthly matching improves economics and emissions. • US BIOH 2 /CCS ammonia may outcompete EU supply, raising carbon accounting concerns. • Policy support must be tech-neutral, with flexible rules and coordinated infrastructure.
