Cost-efficiency of municipal green bonds measures

This research paper evaluates the cost-efficiency of carbon reduction measures funded by municipal green bonds in Sweden using marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs). The study finds that clean energy production, particularly wind energy, is more economically competitive and efficient at reducing emissions than other emerging technologies like carbon capture storage, noting that the Swedish carbon tax serves as an effective incentive for these investments.

• Clean energy production is economically competitive in terms of abatement potential per unit of currency, outperforming other emerging technologies. Specifically, wind energy production is identified as a more efficient way to reduce emissions when compared to carbon capture storage.
• The Swedish carbon tax functions as an effective incentive tool for encouraging investments in clean energy projects.
• The study improves upon previous methodologies by incorporating all greenhouse gases and expanding financial analysis to include full life-cycle costs.
