1. Introduction: Principles of environmental policy design in order to encourage 'green' innovation
Stringency/Ambition – how ambitious is the policy objective relative to “BAU”
Predictability/Credibility – how certain and credible is the signal given by the policy
Flexibility – how much space is provided to identify new technologies and methods
Incidence – how closely does the measure target the environmental bad or good
Depth – does the measure provide incentives over the range of all possible outcomes

14. Investment incentives
Instrument
Brief explanation
Investment incentives
Capital Grants and all other measures aimed at reducing the capital cost of adopting renewable energy technologies.
Tax Measure
Economic instruments used either to encourage production or discourage consumption. They may have the form of investment tax credit or property tax exemptions, in order to reduce tax payments for project owner.
Incentive tariff
Price systems that guarantee above market tariff rates. In such cases, the Environmental authority generally sets a premium price to be paid for power generated from renewables.
Feed-in Tariff
Guaranteed price that may vary by technology. (Wind, Solar, Ocean, Geothermal, Biomass, Waste, Hydro).
Voluntary program
These programs generally operate through agreement between government, public utilities and energy suppliers, that agree to buy energy generated from renewable sources.

15. Public Research and Development
Obligations
Obligation and targets take generally the form of quota systems that place an obligation on producers to provide a share of their energy supply from renewable energy. These quota are not necessarily covered by a tradable certificate.
Tradable Certificate
Renewable energy Certificates (REC) are used to track or document compliance with quota system and can generally be traded in specific markets.
Public Research and Development
Public financed R&D program disaggregated by type of renewable energy
EU directive 2001/77/EC
Established the first shared framework for the promotion of electricity from renewable sources at European level.
