On the Fair Division of Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cost

Relative Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cost Competitiveness of Biofuels in Germany

Transport biofuels derived from biogenic material are used for substituting fossil fuels, 1 thereby abating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Numerous competing conversion options exist to 2 produce biofuels, with differing GHG emissions and costs. In this paper analysis and modelling of the 3 long-term development of GHG abatement and relative GHG abatement cost competitiveness between 4 crop-ba...

Multiple-pollutant cost-effectiveness of greenhouse gas mitigation measures in the UK agriculture

This paper develops multiple-pollutant marginal abatement cost curve analysis to identify an optimal set of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation measures considering the trade-offs and synergies with other environmental pollutants. The analysis is applied to UK agriculture, a sector expected to make a contribution to the national GHG mitigation effort. Previous analyses using marginal abatement cost...

Comparison of Greenhouse - Gas Emissions and Abatement Cost of Nuclear and Alternative Energy Options from a Life - Cycle Perspective - updated

What are the Gains from a Multi-Gas Strategy?

The Kyoto Protocol assigns limits for the aggregate emissions of six greenhouse gases, but most economic analyses focus on CO2 abatement. What are the potential gains if policy makers exploit the flexibility in a multi-gas abatement strategy? We extend the EDGE model to include sinks and non-CO2 gases and show that a multigas strategy reduces costs by 20-35% in the Western Annex B countries. Ma...

Global emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases 2005-2050 with abatement potentials and costs

This study uses the GAINS model framework to estimate current and future emissions of the fluorinated greenhouse gases HFCs/HCFCs, PFCs and SF6 (F-gases), their abatement potentials and costs for twenty source sectors and 162 countries/regions, which are aggregated to produce global estimates. Global F-gas emissions are estimated at 0.95 Pg CO2eq in 2005 with an expected increase to 3.7 Pg CO2e...
