background

Morten May Hansen advises public and private clients on navigating the economic and regulatory challenges of the energy transition, with a focus on how policies shape incentives, investment decisions, and competitiveness across sectors. In essence, how regulation affects cost structures, trade flows, and investment decisions across sectors such as energy, heavy industry, transport, and digital infrastructure.

Morten brings extensive experience in developing and applying economic models to quantify the impact of policy on costs, market outcomes, and competitiveness. He has contributed to multiple regulatory impact assessments and strategic advisory projects related to EU climate and industrial policy, including analysis of instruments such as ETS, CBAM, and public procurement frameworks.

For example, he has applied scenario-based modelling to help clients assess how different regulatory pathways affect investment cases in energy-intensive industries, helping clients take decisions on investment opportunities.
