the latter are higher than those found in electricity sector modelling since abatement costs outside the electricity sector will be significantly higher the question is however whether they can be more than four times higher since electrification remains an option for the majority of uses of fossil fuel combustion here future modelling work and empirical studies will be required to bridge the gap neither the discussions about the social cost of carbon nor the discussions about the marginal cost of abatement according to a politically chosen quantity target are anywhere near to conclusion
