So to start module 3 we are going to be looking at the concept of mitigation potentials, we will also go over some other important considerations when looking at emission reduction options.

Key takeaways: 

• When discussing mitigation options, it is most important to know how much CO2 does a certain option mitigate and how much does it cost per tonne of mitigated CO2 emissions.
• The mitigation potential is the quantity of net greenhouse gas emissions that can be achieved by a given mitigation option, such as home insulation, implementation of wind, solar energy or consuming less meat.
• When discussing technical and economic potentials, there are always theoretical or feasibility constraints.
• Transparency about assumptions and assumed constraints is very important.
