Committed emissions from existing and planned power plants and asset stranding required to meet the Paris Agreement

Pfeiffer, Alexander; Hepburn, Cameron; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien - 2018

Over the coming decade, the power sector is expected to invest ~7.2 trillion USD in power plants and grids globally, much of it into CO2-emitting coal and gas plants. These assets typically have a long lifetime and commit large amounts of (future) CO2 emissions. Here, we analyze the historic...

Technological change, fuel efficiency and carbon intensity in electricity generation : a cross-country empirical study

Verdolini, Elena; Johnstone, Nick; Hašcic, Ivan - 2011

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the determinants of energy efficiency in fossil fuel electricity generation across 28 OECD countries over the period 1981-2006, with particular attention to the role played by technological development and the availability of energy efficient...

Non-CO 2 greenhouse gas mitigation modeling with marginal abatement cost curves : technical change, emission scenarios and policy costs

Carrara, Samuel; Giacomo, Marangoni - 2013

The abatement of non-CO2 greenhouse gases (OGHG) has proved to be of paramount importance for reaching global mitigation targets. The modeling of their abatement is normally carried out referring to marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves, which by now represent a standard approach for such an...

Marginal abatement cost curves and the optimal timing of mitigation measures

Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2013

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 cost and abating potential of available mitigation options. Using a simple intertemporal optimization model, we...

Abatement cost uncertainty and policy instrument selection under a stringent climate policy : a dynamic analysis

Bosetti, Valentina; Golub, Alexander; Markandya, Anil; … - 2008

This paper investigates the relative economic and environmental outcomes of price versus quantity mechanisms to control GHG emissions when abatement costs are uncertain. In particular, we evaluate the impacts on policy costs, CO2 emissions and energy R&D for a stringent mitigation target of 550...

Cost heterogeneity and the potential savings from market-based policies

Newell, Richard G.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2002

Policy makers and analysts are often faced with situations where it is unclear whether market-based instruments hold real promise of reducing costs, relative to conventional uniform standards. We develop analytic expressions that can be employed with modest amounts of information to estimate the...

When starting with the most expensive option makes sense : optimal timing, cost and sectoral allocation of abatement investment

Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Meunier, Guy; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2018

This paper finds that it is optimal to start a long-term emission-reduction strategy with significant short-term abatement investment, even if the optimal carbon price starts low and grows progressively over time. Moreover, optimal marginal abatement investment costs differ across sectors of the...
