End-of-the-Pipe Control versus Pollution Prevention The marginal cost of reduction curve illustrated in Figure 4.5 assumes a particular approach to reducing pollution, often called end-of-the-pipe control. In other words, when we draw that upward-sloping MC curve, we assume that firms respond to regulation by maintaining the same basic production technology but adding on scrubbers or filters to clean up their emissions. Under these conditions, rising marginal costs of reduction are quite likely. However, suppose that firms radically overhaul their production technology, so that they completely eliminate emissions. This is known as a “pollution prevention” strategy. An example might be a jeweler, who in the face of regulation adopts a closed-loop production system. This is one in which all mineral waste products are recovered from recycled wastewater and then reused. What would the marginal cost of reduction diagram look like in this case? a. Specifically, assume that…
21. Consider a small lake, 0.4 mile across and 11 ft deep, that contains a total of 50 tons of dissolved oxygen. Calculate the BOD (i.e., calculate the amount of oxygen required to degrade the amount of organic waste given) if 6 tons of carbon-based waste is dumped into the lake.
what are the predicted CO2 emissions in 2050 if we stay on the current policy trajectory?
