Definition of the Maximum Technically Feasible Reduction Scenario in RAINS

This scenario assumes no changes in projected fuel consumption or agricultural activities, and only includes emission control measures currently in the RAINS databases. It also considers specific assumptions for stationary and mobile sources.

  1. Definition of the Maximum Technically Feasible Reduction Scenario in RAINS

  2. General assumptions • No change in projected levels and patterns of fuel consumption/agricultural activities, i.e., • no fuel switching, • no lowering of demand through economic instruments, behavioral changes, etc. • No premature scrapping of existing infrastructure • Only emission control measures contained in the current RAINS databases (does not include, e.g., emerging technologies)

  3. MTFR assumptions for stationary sources • For new plants/capacities (i.e., commissioned after 2005): • Measures specified in the “current legislation” control strategy are replaced by the measures with the highest removal efficiency in the RAINS databases, up to application limit. • For existing plants (i.e., commissioned before 2005): • Measures as specified in the “current legislation” scenario.  • No replacement of already installed control equipment (No premature scrapping of existing control equipment, even today more efficient options exist. • Low sulfur fuels can be replaced by add-on control measures (because no investments at plant sites are required).

  4. MTFR assumptions for mobile sources • Vehicles are controlled according to the legislation in force at the moment of production of the vehicle. • No retrofits with more efficient control measures. • After the period covered by the current legislation (2005/2008), stricter standards may be applied only to new vintages.
