Estimating the Cost or Savings of Emission Reductions
Often times, policies and literature discussing options for reducing greenhouse gases speak of net savings or costs associated with curbing the volume of emissions released into the atmosphere. But who will ultimately spend or save money as a result of these options?
State Climate Action Plan Energy Efficiency Emission Reduction Recommendations
Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado climate action plans included emission reduction estimates based on increasing energy efficiency using a variety of approaches. See individual state plans for complete lists and descriptions of all recommended options.
State Climate Plan Renewable Energy Recommendations
Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado climate action plans identified several emission reduction options that included energy produced from agricultural and forest management biomass, landfill and animal operation biogas, and in-state ethanol and biodiesel production and use. See individual state plans for more in-depth descriptions of how emission reduction and cost estimates were derived.
