The aim of the article is to analyse the scientific literature of the last decade on the social cost of carbon to identify and discuss the best values representing the external cost of CO2 emissions calculated with a damage valuation approach, to use in cost-benefit analysis and in other external costs applications, such as Life Cycle Assessment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[1405,1386,1321],"targets":[1317],"pubblicazioni_tipologie":[772],"class_list":["post-199129","pubblicazioni","type-pubblicazioni","status-publish","hentry","tag-climate-change","tag-coal-en","tag-emissions","targets-research","pubblicazioni_tipologie-article-en"],"acf":{"dont_show_hompage":true,"projects":{"ID":188413,"post_author":"93","post_date":"2024-06-13 15:10:32","post_date_gmt":"2024-06-13 13:10:32","post_content":"","post_title":"Sustainable Mobility and Interaction with the Energy System","post_excerpt":"The goal of this project is to research and find technological solutions that will facilitate a faster and more effective transition of the transportation system towards greater sustainability, according to very ambitious national and international targets.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"sustainable-mobility-and-interaction-with-the-energy-system","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-07-03 10:59:33","post_modified_gmt":"2024-07-03 08:59:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rse-web.it\/progetti\/sustainable-mobility-and-interaction-with-the-energy-system\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"progetti","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"order_posts":"","dont_show_search":false,"related_posts":false,"show_on_slider":false,"single_post_data":{"titolo_spot":"","post_content":"
The social cost of carbon represents the present value of the global damages of climate change attributable to the emission of an additional ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The measurement of the social cost of carbon is fundamental in the transition to a net zero emissions economy because it allows balancing the costs of investments needed for decarbonization with their benefits in terms of avoided climate damages.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The paper develops and applies a method for identifying the best social cost of carbon estimates, that starts from study reviews conducted within institutional processes (IPCC, OECD, US Government bodies), to then analyse the study reviews made in academic or research contexts and only in the end it delves into selected academic studies that provide original estimates of the social cost of carbon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The method allowed to identify and discuss a robust even if conservative estimate of the social cost of carbon for emissions in the period 2020-2080, recently elaborated by the US Environmental Protection Agency, that can be used worldwide, for example to update the reference external cost values for CO2 emissions recommended by the European Commission Handbook on external cost of transport.<\/p>\n","scarica_file":false,"link_estreno":[{"link_text":"Download Publication","link":"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/a\/fan\/efeefe\/vhtml10.3280-efe2023-002003.html"}],"button":{"text":"","link":""},"referente_group":false,"data_emissione":"2023-09-24","autori":"A.
