Abstract
The report contains phase two of the Danish contribution to the UNEP Greenhouse Gas Abatement Study, which has the main purpose of developing a common methodology for undertaking a cost assessment of greenhouse gas abatement, and to carry out a number of country studies by using this methodology. The methodological possibilities for constructing cost curves - showing the marginal cost of the CO{sub 2} reducing options and the related quantity of CO{sub 2} reduced - are analyzed and the developed methodology is tested for Denmark. Following the development of a baseline scenario, two main reduction scenarios are constructed: (a) a 20% reduction scenario for year 2005, and (b) a 50% reduction scenario for 2030, taking as its starting point the 20% scenario for 2005. Based on these two reduction scenarios the medium-term cost curve for 2005 and the long-term cost curve for 2030 for CO{sub 2} reduction are established. The economically most attractive and the most efficient options with regard to CO{sub 2} reduction are discussed. Finally, a number of robustness and sensitivity analyses are performed.
