  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Estimation of CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> abatement costs is a critical issue in achieving the targets of carbon emission reduction of China while promoting the economic growth. This paper builds an objective programming model to estimate the China’s marginal CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> abatement costs during 2020-2030. We designed six different mitigation strategies based on China’s 60-65 percent carbon intensity reduction target by 2030 and investigated the total economic-wide cost of these strategies. The results show that the non-equal increasing strategies will significantly increase the overall cumulative carbon dioxide emission reduction and reduce the overall cost compared to the non-equal decreasing strategies and equal amount strategies.</jats:p>
