ABATE 1.0

Software tool to visualise marginal abatement cost curves (MACC).A marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) represents a set of options available to an economy to reduce pollution. MACC are valuable tools in that they help not only understand the costs associated with a variety of abatement options but also provide information about the amount of pollutants which can potentially be reduced. MACC have therefore become increasingly popular as instruments to inform policy discussions and to prioritize investment opportunities to reduce pollution. There are however not many tools available to produce MACCs with great flexibility which is why ABATE was developed.
