Some recent publications on MACC of different climate technologies and in different sectors
| Authors | Focus | Findings |
|---|---|---|
| Andersson et al. (2018) | The Swedish building sector | Identified cost-neutral measures that can lead to a 15% reduction of the embodied emissions from the building environment. Identified additional cost-effective measures, at about €59/t of CO2-eq, that can lead to a 18% reduction of CO2-eq emissions |
| Beiron et al. (2022) | CO2 capture in Swedish biomass or waste-fired combined heat and power plants | About 10.6–13.6 MtCO2/year are available for capture at a cost, excluding costs for ship transport and storage, smaller than €100/t CO2 |
| Biermann et al. (2022) | Residual heat from existing refineries’ boilers | Marginal abatement costs between €35 and €60 for each ton of CO2 |
| Johnsson et al. (2020) | Carbon capture and storage (CCS) measures to curb emissions from the largest manufacturing companies in Sweden | About 50% of the total Swedish emissions from all sectors could be captured at a cost ranging between €40/t CO2 and €110/t CO2 |
| Timilsina et al. (2017) | The building sector in Georgia and Armenia | Significant emissions reductions from this sector in these countries can be achieved through measures that present a negative net present value (NPV) |

Notes: Table 1 lists recent studies that used the MACC methodology, specifying the sector to which the study belongs and reporting the results on the marginal abatement costs of the measures considered there. It is meant to provide an overview of recent methodology trends and show its flexibility to be applied across several sectors
