Cost-effective reduction of fine primary particulate matter emissions in Finland
Policies to reduce adverse health impacts of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) require information on costs of abatement and associated costs. This paper explores the potential for cost-efficient control of anthropogenic primary PM2.5 emissions in Finland. Based on a Kyoto-compliant energy projection, two emission control scenarios for 2020 were developed. 'Baseline' assumes implementation of PM controls in compliance with existing legislation. 'Reduction' assumes ambitious further reductions. Emissions for 2020 were estimated at 26 and 18.6 Gg a−1 for 'Baseline' and 'Reduction', respectively. The largest abatement potential, 3.0 Gg a−1, was calculated for power plants and industrial combustion. The largest potential with marginal costs below was for domestic wood combustion, 1.7 Gg a−1. For traffic the potential was estimated at 1.0 Gg a−1, but was associated with high costs. The results from this paper are used in the policy-driven national integrated assessment modeling that explores cost-efficient reductions of the health impacts of PM.
