“…Nor is it possible to take account of intertemporal and intersectoral interactions, which also can affect the cost and mitigation potential of other measures (Kesicki and Strachan, 2011). Another important challenge is to make sure that the data include all the cost of a mitigation measure, including hidden or transaction costs, such as technical and institutional barriers, which are seldom available (Garg et al, 2014).…”

“…Still, MACCs/CSCs with the problematic optimization continue to be published in articles in high ranked journals, as well as an increasing number of corporate reports that utilize the model. Amongst the recent research articles we find Dedinec et al (2013) with abatement in the Macedonian transport sector; Wächter, (2013) with abatement strategies for Austria; Yang et al (2013) with abatement from the cement industry in China; and Garg et al (2014) with abatement related to electric power production emissions in India. Other recent examples include analyses of efficiency improvement potential for the United States petroleum refining industry (Morrow et al, 2015) and the potential to reduce CO2 from maritime shipping (Yuan et al, 2016).…”

For society and industry alike, efficient allocation of resources is crucial. Numerous tools are available that in different ways rank available options and actions under the aim to minimize costs or maximize profit. One common definition of economic efficiency is least cost per unit supplied. A definition that becomes problematic if cost take negative values. One model, where negative costs are not uncommon, is expert based/bottom up [marginal abatement] cost curves. This model is used in many contexts for understanding the impact of economic policy as well as optimizing amongst potential actions. Within this context attention has been turned towards the ranking problem when costs are negative. This article contributes by widening the discussion on the ranking problem from the MACC context to the general definition of least cost per unit supplied. Further it discuss why a proposed solution to the ranking problem, Pareto optimization, is not a good solution when available options are interdependent. This has particular consequences for the context of energy systems, where strong interdependencies between available options and actions are common. The third contribution is a proposed solution to solve the ranking problem and thus how to define economic efficient when costs are negative.

“…In our research group, we have already studied the CO 2 mitigation cost curve and the policy options for China's key sectors. As for CO 2 mitigation costs in the electricity sector, most research concentrates on internal costs, ignoring social costs as externalities. When making decisions on CO 2 mitigation, environmental externalities cannot be neglected for their distortion of markets.…”

This paper creates a technology roadmap for China's electricity sector on CO2 mitigation based on cost‐effective analysis (CEA) and cost‐benefit analysis (CBA). We use mitigation targets for 2020 and 2030 to determine the required implementation degrees of 13 selected power‐generating technologies. According to the initial investment, operational costs, and external costs of major pollutants, we assigned a priority rank to each technology, which is derived on the basis of internal costs and social costs. A comparison of present value costs of major generating technologies shows that hydroelectricity bears the highest total cost, while cogeneration of heat and power bears the lowest cost. The technology with the highest total social benefit is also hydroelectricity, while carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) yields the lowest social benefit. By 2030, 6 of the 13 technologies can realize net internal benefits and all 13 technologies except CCS can realize net social benefits. The top three technologies based on internal levelized cost are: cogeneration of heat and power, biomass power generation, and wind power generation. Based on social levelized cost, the highest priority technologies are: integrated gasification combined cycle, biomass power generation, and wind power generation. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
