A new study published on arXiv examines the potential consequences of suppressing carbon prices in the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS), particularly in Italy's proposed Decreto Bollette package. The research, utilizing a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework called MARLEY, suggests that while temporarily reducing energy costs, this policy could lead to increased CO2 emissions by disincentivizing renewable and storage investments. The study indicates that only aggressive green investment strategies could mitigate this effect, but these would necessitate a market paradigm that contradicts the price suppression rationale. AI
