Introduction to Project Appraisal & MACCs

WHAT ARE MARGINAL ABATEMENT COST CURVES(MACCS)?

“A MACC is an economic decision making tool, designed to assist managers to identify, rank and prioritise the implementation of GHG abatement projects. Projects are ranked from lowest (most desirable) to highest cost per

tonne of CO2-e reduced”

A MACC presents three visual indicators:

• The cost per tonne CO2-e abatement for a project

• The volume of abatement that the project can deliver (annually or over project life) at that cost per tonne CO2-e abatement

• The given point at which it becomes cheaper to purchase carbon offsets or permits

i.e. where abatement is no longer competitive with offsets.

MACCS

HOW TO READ A MACCHOW TO READ A MACC

Projects that present net savings are located Projects that present net savings are located below the horizontal axis, and should be prioritised for implementation.

B f d b h By contrast, projects found above the horizontal axis have a net cost to implement per tonne of CO2-e reduce.

A MACC may be considered as part of a pre-feasibility assessment of potential GHG abatement projects.

HOW TO BUILD A MACC

HOW TO BUILD A MACC

The steps are summarised as follows: p

1. Identify potential abatement projects

2 Conduct high level technical / risk pre feasibility analysis of each project2. Conduct high-level technical / risk pre-feasibility analysis of each project

3. Gather financial and GHG information on each project

4. Determine NPV and net emissions savings (NES) for each project

5. Develop the MACC (you will do this).

MACCS


Corporate emissions reduction targets set:- based on 1998 levels- 25% by 2020- 50% by 2030-75% by 2050y

Objective:Model to determine out how does this translate intoannual emissions reduction targets?

Used carbon footprint and modelling to figure out what they need to achieve, now to plan how to do it most cost effectively...

2 MACCs created for purposes of legibility2 MACCs created for purposes of legibility- efficiency measures- fuel switching measures

• Two years of intensive eco-efficiency program meant theyneeded to look hard and outside the box for additional savings

• Data availability issues and typical people barriers.

• Electronic framework created for ongoing updating. g g p g

CASE STUDY – FINDINGS

MACCS

Large scale solar, on-site wind, natural gas cogeneration, LED lighting and hybrid vehicles remain cost prohibitive technologies for now...


Economics of solar and LED projects constantly changing…

Projects are hampered by cheap electricity rates and short asset life cycles

A large portion of ‘low hanging fruit’ has been ‘picked’ likely a consequence of A large portion of low hanging fruit has been picked , likely a consequence of achieving impressive reductions in recent years

Reductions getting harder to find and cheap ‘no regrets’ projects and their contribution are increasingly small.
