Long term prevention cost of SO/sub 2/ pollutant emissions

Abstract

This paper presents a sample calculation of the benefits inherented in .reducing sulphur dioxide (S02) emissions for the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) through a system approach. A methodology for calculating the benefits inherented in reducing various pollutant emissions has been formulated as well. This methodology was implemented for two sets of data, which describe a "clean" scenario and a "polluted" scenario through a model for long term optimal generation system expansion planning.The methodology described is suitable for calculating the cost of preventing the emission of S a and other pollutants as well.
