Cost Opportunities & Identify Synergies

The opportunities database recommended in the previous step also incorporates Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) calculator which allows you to calculate the best level of investment compared to the likely future cost of the Business and Usual approach and thus cost options. Advice on the tool is given here.

An important next step is to identify any synergies between project ideas and different stakeholders. For example we have seen Cambridge NHS and Local Authority liaise and develop a transport policy together that shares costs but increases benefits to both stakeholders.
