Abatement costs have emerged as a key tool to drive the decarbonization of economies, reduce its cost, and to assess the efficiency of a technology, an investment or a public policy. But how far can this tool go and what are its limitations?

2021年4月13日 · Companies can both decarbonize and boost long-term growth. But it means pushing beyond abatement curves’ focus on cost and instead empowering people—while making a few big, strategic bets.

A marginal abatement cost curve – or MACC – is simple to understand when you break it down. In this context, ‘abatement’ means ‘reducing’. A MACC presents the costs or savings expected from different opportunities, alongside the potential volume of emissions that could be reduced if …

2024年4月24日 · Understand Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) curves to create plans. Learn what MAC curves are, how to read them, & their uses for organizations.

2024年4月30日 · The Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) assesses the cost-effectiveness of emissions reduction strategies, guiding policymakers and businesses. MACC curves help prioritize investments in renewable energy, transportation, and other sectors to achieve emission reduction targets.

2021年8月26日 · Our MAC 2.0 curve shows the annual carbon pollution reductions from different measures across the energy system that become accessible at different marginal abatement costs — or the incremental costs of reducing carbon pollution. It also offers insights on the optimal timing and sequencing of actions over the next three decades.

Across the range of marginal abatement costs, this updated curve provides deeper insights than traditional MAC approaches into the suite of measures needed to achieve large emission reductions.

Calculating a marginal abatement cost curve, also known as a MAC curve or MACC, is the activity of mapping out the cost-effectiveness of GHG emissions reductions, for example, balancing a firm's toxic waste against reforestation initiatives they fund.

the cost curve are approaches for adopting more greenhouse gas–efficient technologies (such as wind power and carbon capture and storage6) in power generation and manufacturing industry and for shifting to cleaner industrial processes. The …
