GHGs Mitigation Methods and Uncertainty Analysis

Title: Marginal Abatement Cost curve for assessing mitigation potential under uncertainty: A case study of Canadian grain crop sector using a bio-economic model or integrated model

Objective: This paper aims to inform policymakers on GHG emissions abatement strategies and costs in Canadian Crop production and highlight how model scenario and uncertainty impact results.

 Agricultural Greenhouse (CO2, CH4, N2O) mitigation measures for developing marginal abatement cost curves (CO2eq or percentage).
