Clean Air For Europe

Welcome to the CAFE Cost Benefit Analysis Website

This site provides the latest information from the Service Contract for Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of Air Quality Related Issues led by AEA Energy and Environment. The service contract was established to support CBA activities under the Clean Air for Europe (CAFE) Programme, including the development of a CBA modelling framework.

The modelling framework has been used to conduct cost-benefit analysis for the main CAFE scenarios, IPPC review and proposals for a revised National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD).

Documentation on methodology development and analysis undertaken over the last 3 years can be found on the Reports (hyperlink) page of this website. Current analysis is being undertaken in support of the revision of the NECD. In addition, the CBA modelling framework is subject to ongoing development under an EU-LIFE funded project called EC4MACS.
