Greenhouse gas abatement program

For parameterization it is able to draw on marginal abatement cost MAC functions for these gases based on detailed technological descriptions of control options. Complete and consistent estimates are provided of the costs of meeting greenhouse-gas reduction targets with a focus on "what" flexibility — i. We find that non-CO2 gases are a crucial component of a cost-effective policy. Because of their high Global Warming Potentials GWPs under current international agreements they would contribute a substantial share of early abatement.

The Greenhouse Gas Abatement Programme GGAP was an Australian Government initiative to reduce Australias net greenhouse gas emissions by supporting activities likely to result in substantial emission reduction particularly during the period of the Kyoto Protocol GGAP targetted opportunities for large-scale, cost-effective and sustained abatement across the economy.

GGAP supported projects expected to result in quantifiable and additional abatement not expected to occur in the absence of GGAP funding. Priority was given to projects that delivered abatement exceeding tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent CO2-e per annum. Three funding rounds of GGAP have been concluded.
