Romania Toward a Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Economy : Marginal Abatement Cost Curve Analysis

The Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACC) analysis in the Romania Green Growth study presents a cross-sectoral outlook of the benefits and costs of the green technologies and abatement measures recommended in the sectoral modeling and analysis for...

The findings are as follows: (i) sector analysis conducted for the Romania Green Growth Assessment resulted in a selection of a list of measures that constitute a green package in each sector of energy efficiency, powersupply, forestry, agriculture,and transport; (ii) a review by sector shows that energy efficiency measures are most beneficial, they have high abatement potential and mostly negative cost, while electricity supply interventions produce most of the abatement; (iii) agriculture and forestry measures are cost efficient and (iv) in transport, attacking emissions and generating local co-benefits justifies the high cost of the interventions and motivates support for improved transport policies. The conclusions and recommendations are as follows: (a) The MACC work derives from the analysis and modeling of all the relevant sectors in the Assessment; (b) when the MACC data from all sectors is modeled in one chart, it creates a clear and simple picture that compares green measures by costs and benefits across sectors; and (c) the Romania MACC can increase the quality of decisions regarding prioritizing and scheduling the proposed abatement measures. 2016-04-14T21:53:10Z 2016-04-14T21:53:10Z 2015-12-31 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/03/26049048/romania-toward-low-carbon-climate-resilient-economy-marginal-abatement-cost-curve-analysis http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24065 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note Economic & Sector Work Europe and Central Asia Romania
