Methane and Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Agriculture in the EU: A Spatial Assessment of Sources and Abatement Costs

Abstract: Abstract. Agriculture significantly contributes to emissions of greenhouse gases in the EU. By using a farm-type, supply-side oriented, linear-programming model of the European agriculture, the baseline levels of methane and nitrous oxide emissions are assessed at the regional level in the EU-15. For a range of CO 2 -equivalent prices, we assess the potential abatement, as well as the resulting optimal mix of emission sources in the total abatement. Furthermore, we show that the spatial variability of the abat… Show more

“…Therefore, there is a general agreement about the lack of explicit modelling of the spatial drivers behind the interaction between land use, pollution, and climate change. Closely related to the integrated assessment approach, bottom-up models of agricultural economics (for instance, de Cara and Rozakis, 2004;de Cara et al, 2005;and Havlík et al, 2011) have contributed to the understanding of the spatial drivers of land use. However, these models focus on partial equilibrium (mainly the supply side) and do not completely consider the intertemporal decisions of the problem.…”

“…We provide the corresponding Pontryagin conditions, which turn out to be necessary and sufficient. To illustrate the richness of our model, we continue 1 In this simplified set-up, the land devoted to abatement may be interpreted as pollution removal due to, for instance, prairies and forests (see de Cara and Rozakis, 2004;de Cara et al, 2005;Nowak et al, 2006;and Ragot and Schubert, 2008). In general, one can also consider that abatement facilities will require land (i.e., physical space), which is the single production factor.…”

“…In general, economy-wide assessments of biochar and, thus, MACCs for biochar are still rare. In particular, biochar has not been covered in the numerous MACC studies analyzing GHG mitigation in agriculture, such as McKinsey (2009a) and Smith et al (2008) on a global scale, De Cara et al (2005) for the European Union (EU) as well as Moran et al (2011) and MacLeod et al (2010) for the United Kingdom (UK). Likewise, the only bottomup MACC for Germany (McKinsey 2007(McKinsey , 2009b covers the agricultural sector only very broadly and does not contain any biochar.…”

“…Par conséquent, le calcul du véritable coût de mise en oeuvre d'une mesure devrait comporter une estimation de ce coût d'opportunité, pouvant être dérivée au moyen d'une modélisation économique à l'échelle de l'exploitation. Un exemple de cette approche est l'évaluation spatiale des coûts d'atténuation des émissions de substances autres que le CO 2 par le secteur agricole dans l'UE (De Cara et al, 2005). …”
