We present a novel study of the differential total costs ownership and marginal cost life cycle emissions abatement for owners both new used light duty fuel cell internal combustion engine vehicles in Japan. find emergence FCVs fleet significantly improves economic savings over ICEVs. The cumulative GHG reductions rapidly increase when exceed 55%–70% LDVs. Life vehicle 40% if hydrogen is produc...

The environmental targets of the recently agreed Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) targets are likely associated with a considerable cost, which motivates a search for low-cost policies. The following review shows there is a substantial literature on cost-efficient nutrient reduction strategies, including suggestions regarding low-cost abatement, but actual policies at international and national sc...

Reducing fuel use for the heating of houses is key to meeting greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. This study constructs Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACC) different technologies space and water in county Gwynedd Wales, UK, uses information provided by energy certificates correctly assess requirements a house. approach allows us accurately predict consumption identify potential ways re...

Dairy farms confront unique risks from weather conditions. Hot and humid weather induces heat stress, which reduces both the quantity and quality of dairy production. Traditional heat abatement technologies control the environment through ventilation, misting or evaporative cooling. Adoption of abatement equipment, however, is hindered by its high initial cost and possibly long payback period, ...

This article examines economic incentives and other mechanisms to offset non-point source pollution from agriculture. A biophysical simulator to estimate technical relationships is linked to linear programming models for representative farms in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The models are then optimized for profit maximization under alternative non-point pollution control policies. The resul...

Five attributes of emission generating technologies are identified and a concept of byproduction is introduced, which implies these five attributes. Murty and Russell [2010] characterization of technologies, which requires distinguishing between intended production of firms and nature’s laws of emission generation, is shown to be both necessary and sufficient for by-production. While intended p...

There is significant emission reduction potential in the Dutch vegetable oil and fat industry, which consists of seven companies each producing more than 10 kt CO2 per year, emitting a total 0.36 Mt 2018. Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) curves are constructed to provide an overview most cost-effective decarbonisation options. Both energy efficiency technologies alternative heating systems combine...
