About the event:
SEI commissioned McKinsey & Co to carry out an analysis of opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Ireland over the period to 2030. The analysis presents marginal cost curves for GHG abatement that illustrate the extent of each opportunity for abatement and the associated societal saving or cost. The study, co-sponsored by ESB, was conducted in March-May 2009 and involved extensive meetings with over 80 stakeholders and experts, including representatives of seven government departments.
