Cost-Effective Control Strategies for Energy-Related Transboundary Air Pollution in Western Europe

The Energy Journal, 1990, vol. Volume 11, issue Number 2, 87-104

Abstract: In this paper a simulation model of the West European power plant industry, combined with transboundary source-receptor relationships, is used to determine cost-effective reduction rates for SO2 emissions in any one country so that certain, exogenously given, deposition reduction targets are attained. The overall costs implied by the proposed strategies, and their distribution among countries, are examined and compared to those associated with the traditional emission-standard approach. It is found that the cooperative and flexible strategies considered allow for overall cost savings of up to 60 percent, given the same degree of deposition reduction.
