A flaw has been identified in the calculation of the cost-effectiveness in marginal abatement
cost curves (MACCs). The problem affects “negative-cost” emissions reduction measures …

One of the tools used to optimise actions in reducing the carbon intensity of the economy is
to use Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) curves. Whilst these are known to be imperfect they …

Abstract Marginal Abatement Cost curves are considered a standard tool for analysing the
impacts of mitigation measures and are one of the most used methodologies for evaluating …

Historically, the assessment of energy-conservation programs has been focused primarily
on energy savings and costs. The recent, increased interest in global environmental …

This report critically reviews various issues relating to the construction and interpretation of
marginal abatement cost curves (MACC, or MAC curves) for reducing emissions of …

An integrated approach for choosing among energy supply-and demand-side measures
shows that, compared to business-as-usual demand patterns, global greenhouse-gas …

Legal commitments to reduce CO2 emissions require policy makers to find cost-efficient
means to meet the obligations. Marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves have frequently been …

There is a growing consensus in Canada that action is required to address climate change.
Concerns over economic costs, in aggregate and to certain sectors and regions, have no …

Energy efficiency is a critical issue in public policies, as it is the key to decoupling economic
growth and energy use. These objectives are becoming even more relevant to addressing …

This article investigates the use of expert-based Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACC)
to design abatement strategies. It shows that introducing inertia, in the form of the" cost in …
