So the best technology depends on the final cost, carbon mitigation potential, and consumer needs in each case.
According to the panel, "Forests, agricultural lands and other terrestrial ecosystems offer significant, if often temporary, mitigation potential".
The base year was 2015 and the target year 2050, for the mitigation potential scenario analysis.
Furthermore, the projects' mitigation potential is constrained by their poor additionality and lack of rigorous enforcement.
Technologies that currently seem more realistic offer much smaller mitigation potential.
Ageing phenomena may reduce substantially and up to 50% the mitigation potential of cool asphaltic materials.
SNG is the second best alternative with a much bigger mitigation potential but at slightly higher mitigation costs.
Buildings are seen to hold the greatest estimated economic mitigation potential for reducing GHG emissions (IPCC 2007).
Globally, most of the cost-effective mitigation potential is expected from avoided deforestation in the tropics [3].
Past land use decisions have been shown to influence the mitigation potential in the boreal regions[31].
This decrease was smaller than the stoichiometrical methane mitigation potential of nitrate (full potential = 28% methane reduction).
