Method

  • “Baseline”: CO2 initial prices starting in 2020 (0, 1, 3, 5,

10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120 USD/tCO2) and rising 5% / year (CO2 price range: 4-520 USD/ton CO2 in 2050)

  • “Sensitivity”: decrease/increase cr, w, and l them by 1,

2.5, 5, 10, 50 and 90% one by one for each CO2 price

  • Build MACC as a difference of total biomass CO2

emissions at non-zero CO2 price and zero CO2 price in 2030

Final remarks

  • Non-linear IAM - MACCs may be sensitive to variation of

the model parameters.

  • G4M MACCs are much more sensitive to parameter

variation at a certain range of CO2 prices, usually low CO2 prices.

  • G4M total biomass CO2 MACCs are most sensitive to

variation of corruption coefficient and agriculture land price.

  • MACC uncertainty can influence outcome of policy

analysis.

  • Inform experts applying MACCs for policy analysis on

MACC uncertainty!

G4M: FM targets and options

  • FM targets:

– Harvest demanded amount of wood on country scale – Harvest demanded amount of wood + maximize biomass comparing to baseline (NPV->max)

  • FM options:

– Tune rotation length: max MAI – max biomass – Change harvest location (depending on CAI)

Results: Global net forest area change under different C prices

  • If carbon has a price

net area loss declines more rapidly and area gain after 2020 is higher

  • A price of 30 USD

increases net gain by factor four

  • Strongest effects at

medium C prices (20- 50 USD)

Results: Potential and costs for additional storage in non-Annex I

  • CO2 storage in comparison

to baseline at different C price levels

  • Afforestation potential

negligible (high baseline, time lag)

  • Reduced deforestation puts

pressure on remaining forest (harvest increases) resulting in negative cost curve
