Xavier Leflaive

Xavier Leflaive is a principal administrator at the OECD Environment Directorate. He has managed several projects related to the analysis of policies that support the development and diffusion of eco-innovations. He developed country profiles of non European OECD countries and China on policies to support eco-innovation (available at www.oecd.org/environment/innovation/globalforum ). In cooperation with DG Environment, he assessed the national roadmaps to support eco-innovation, developed by EU member states under ETAP. He developed case studies on selected eco-innovations in several countries (including combined heat and power generation, micro combined heat and power, electric cars, carbon capture and storage, biopackaging, solar tiles) to explore the relationships between technical and non-technical innovations, the policy relevance of alternative patterns of technical trajectories, and innovative ways to transfer eco-innovatio
