Deployment of CCS will drive learning, and the lowered future abatement costs from deploying a new technology will benefit Alberta, and so it makes sense in this case for the government to bear some of the costs of this risky investment.

Existing abatements cost about $ 1.1 billion in forgone tax revenue last year.

While the Government says carbon abatement costs per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) should be about # 56 ($ 87) for road transport, the report says the cost using the current generation of biofuels ranges from about # 105 to # 715 ($ 165 - 1,100).

To carry this out requires a uniform price on emissions from different regions within a given year (to equalize marginal abatement costs across different countries).

If marginal abatement costs go up faster then taxes are supposed to be better.

Linkage of emissions trading systems theoretically minimizes total abatement costs by allowing fungibility of emissions reductions across jurisdictions.

As the underlying models are correctly specified — that is, convexity in abatement costs means that stringent targets have higher and accelerating costs — the IPCC results can only be explained by selection bias; only models with low emission reduction costs reported results for the most stringent targets.

That isn't the track the world has been on for over 20 years as many policies have led to abatement cost multiples above what was necessary.

Initial abatement costs are not unreasonable or unprecedented.
