Calculated for target year 2035, with program
launches in 2015. Marginal abatement costs are
calculated as cumulative, discounted dollars ($)
divided by cumulative, undiscounted tons of
carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).
This MACC compares the
t GHG emisssions reductiions and costts for 36 diffe rent measurees being
considere
ed by the UW. See Hamme
