Developing stochastic optimisation models, we explore how the decision to invest in research and development towards greener technologies is influenced by environmental policies in a world of technical and policy uncertainty. The models are applied to offshore wind park investments and investments into energy-saving technologies. Policies studied are e.g. energy taxes and quotas as well as research subsidies.
