Cost Curve For Air Pollutant - AQ01506
|
Description
COST CURVES FOR AIR POLLUTANTS
Description
The “Cost Curves for Air Pollutants” project is providing policy makers within Defra with reliable information on the costs and benefits of reducing air emissions. This is essential information in support of the development, implementation and monitoring of domestic and international air pollution policies. The project is being delivered through a number of distinct work packages, developed within a coherent overall approach and based on Defra’s policy priorities. This approach is enhancing the value of cost curves by increasing the accuracy and transparency of information and enabling integrated benefit analysis and spatial disaggregation to be undertaken. The focus of the project so far has been on developing revised cost curves for NOx, VOCs, dioxins and particulate matter; developing spatially disaggregated cost curves; and undertaking Cost-Benefit Analysis studies for proposed EC Directives. Additional work packages will be agreed with Defra as the project progresses.
