Global climate change is one of the most serious environmental problems that has attracted
an unprecedented global attention. The scientific community has recognized that human …

The marginal abatement cost (MAC) curve is a popular visual tool in emissions reduction
planning. The curve is generated by plotting the emission reduction measures by increasing …

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 …

Marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves are a commonly used policy tool indicating emission
abatement potential and associated abatement costs. They have been extensively used for …

The economic impact of CO2 emissions reduction requirements demands strategic planning
to identify low-cost CO2 mitigation pathways from combinations of the many available CO2 …

Given that a fixed national emission reduction target could be achieved by imposing
emission quotas among multiple decision-making units under administration, a novel …

Abstract The Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) methodology is widely used in climate change
policies. Policy-makers rely on MAC to assess feasible strategies and related costs to …

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 …

Legal commitments to reduce CO2 emissions require policy makers to find cost-efficient
means to meet these obligations. Marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves, which illustrate the …

Decision makers facing abatement targets need to decide which abatement measures to
implement, and in which order. Measure-explicit marginal abatement cost curves depict the …
