Sylvera explains marginal abatement cost curves for carbon procurement

Sylvera has published an explanation of marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) and their application in corporate carbon procurement. A MACC ranks emission reduction options by cost per tonne of CO2e and total abatement potential, offering a more comprehensive view than simple price lists. The firm notes that MACCs help companies identify the most cost-effective pathways to meet emissions targets, particularly when cheaper options have limited supply. Sylvera advises that building a MACC for carbon procurement involves defining boundaries and targets, inventorying and costing all options, and accurately sizing each abatement lever.
