Cost Factors CO2

UBA-Methodenkonvention 2007

DC, „Best-Guess-Scenario“ Recommended: 70 €/t CO2

Sensitivity: 20 €/t CO2 and 280 €/t CO2

Stern Report 2007 DC, Stabilization CO2-concentration 450-550 ppm

85 €/t CO2

WBGU 2003 AC, Stabilization CO2-concentration below 450 ppm

2030: 50 €/t CO2 2050: 100-200 €/t CO2

UNITE, Infras/IWW 2004 AC, Kyoto (for Germany: Reduction of GHG-Emissions by 21% in 2008-2012 compared to 1990)

20 €/t CO2

Maibach 2007, Handbook AC/DC, Kyoto 7-180 €/t CO2 AC = Avoidance Costs; DC = Damage Costs
