FAIR EU model

Calculations of the impact of different options for EU burden-sharing and Emissions Trading System (ETS) allocation beyond 2012 on the emission reduction targets and abatement costs for the 27 EU Member States. The model includes bottom-up marginal abatement costs curves for all EU countries based on the GENESIS 2.0 database (Blok et al., 2003), plus baseline scenarios for population, GDP and greenhouse gas emissions under the 2003 EU baseline scenario by DG-TREN, i.e. the LREM scenario (Mantzos et al., 2003). The EU reduction objective is calculated with the FAIR region model or based on user assumptions (like the 2020 EU reduction objectives as adopted in 2007).
