“…Secondly, CBAs have been performed widely (Pearce, 1998), including in transport (Annema et al, 2017), medicine (Li et al, 2012) and crime (Nagin, 2015). MACCs, in turn, experienced a shift towards predominantly environmental analysis in the early 90s (Mills et al, 1991;Sitnicki et al, 1991), and as they entail an energy-saving component, the application is more restricted, covering, for example, construction (Rosenfeld et al, 1993), renewable energy (Olivier et al, 1983) and fuels (Difglio et al, 1990). Given our research questions, using MACCs, therefore, is warranted.…”

PurposeWith more cities aiming to achieve climate neutrality, identifying the funding to support these plans is essential. The purpose of this paper is to exploit the present of a structured green bonds framework in Sweden to investigate the typology of abatement projects Swedish municipalities invested in and understand their effectiveness.Design/methodology/approachMarginal abatement cost curves of the green bond measures are constructed by using the financial and abatement data provided by municipalities on an annual basis.FindingsThe results highlight the economic competitiveness of clean energy production, measured in abatement potential per unit of currency, even when compared to other emerging technologies that have attracted the interest of policymakers. A comparison with previous studies on the cost efficiency of carbon capture storage reveals that clean energy projects, especially wind energy production, can contribute to the reduction of emissions in a more efficient way. The Swedish carbon tax is a good incentive tool for investments in clean energy projects.Originality/valueThe improvement concerning previous applications is twofold: the authors expand the financial considerations to include the whole life-cycle costs, and the authors consider all the greenhouse gases. This research constitutes a prime in using financial and environmental data produced by local governments to assess the effectiveness of their environmental measures.

“…They first appeared about twenty years ago (Jackson and Roberts 1989, Jackson 1991, Mills et al 1991, Sitnicki et al 1991 as a variation on the energy conservation supply curves introduced by Meier (1982). In spite of some doubts about the behaviour of the calculations for negative costs (Wallis 1992a(Wallis , 1992bJackson 1992Jackson , 1993, the use of such curves has become widespread in a variety of contexts.…”

The ranking of negative-cost emissions reduction measures

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 -those that produce a return on investment. The resulting ranking sometimes favours measures that produce low emissions savings and is therefore unreliable. The issue is important because incorrect ranking means a potential failure to achieve the best-value outcome. A simple mathematical analysis shows that not only is the standard cost-effectiveness calculation inadequate for ranking negative-cost measures, but there is no possible replacement that satisfies reasonable requirements. Furthermore, the concept of negative cost-effectiveness is found to be unsound and its use should be avoided. Among other things, this means that MACCs are unsuitable for ranking negative-cost measures. As a result, MACCs produced by a range of organizations including UK government departments may need to be revised. An alternative partial ranking method has been devised by making use of Pareto optimization. The outcome can be presented as a stacked bar chart that indicates both the preferred ordering and the total emissions saving available for each measure without specifying a cost-effectiveness.
