Interactive webapp for exploring techno-economic landscapes of abatement options for hard-to-electrify sectors

DOI

This interactive webapp reproduces the main results from an accompanying article by the same authors, which explores the most cost-efficient abatement options for the hard-to-electrify (HTE) sectors (chemical feedstocks, long-distance maritime and aviation, primary steel and cement). Some of the main assumptions used in the study can be modified here, following which a techno-economic analysis is carried out to determine the levelized cost of each product or service, for all available abatement options available. The abatement costs are then calculated, and plotted for different low-emission hydrogen and non-fossil CO2 cost assumptions, building the mitigation landscape for each HTE sector.

Our results demonstrate a diverse mitigation landscape that can be categorized into three tiers, based on the abatement cost and technologies required. By requiring long-term climate neutrality through simple conditions, the mitigation landscape narrows substantially, with single options dominating each sector.
