Carbon credit card services and the impact potential on Co2 emissions in the Eu - a scenario-based modeling approach

Abstract

The scenario-based modeling approach applies the conceptual background of section 3 for the impact assessment of CCCS. After discussing the persona characteristics, the calculation steps are conducted and its results among the three scenarios are analyzed. In conclusion, recommendations for the CCCS providers as well as an outlook for the future are given. The model calculations reveal a substantial contribution potential of CCCS towards the reduction of CO2 emissions in the EU. Depending on the behavioral change that occurs, the impact potential is assessed to a reduction of -11.6% to -15.2% of annual EU CO2 emissions by 2030.
