Marginal Abatement Cost Curve
Every mitigation measure, ranked by what it costs to cut a tonne
The standard chart of climate economics, native to Power BI. Bar width is abatement potential and bar height is cost per tonne, so the cheapest wins sit on the left and total spend reads as area.
Certified by Microsoft
Illustration of the visual's layout.
A marginal abatement cost curve, known as a MACC or a McKinsey cost curve, ranks mitigation measures cheapest-first so a team can see how far its budget reaches and which measures pay for themselves. Climate, energy and sustainability teams mostly build them in Excel from a spreadsheet of measures, then paste a picture into the report.
The MACC visual for Power BI draws the curve from the model. One row per measure with a Potential in tonnes and a Cost per tonne is enough; the visual sorts by cost, sizes each bar and places the zero line. Because it is a live visual, a slicer on business unit, region or scenario redraws the curve and its totals, and clicking a bar filters the rest of the page. Comparing two net-zero scenarios becomes a slicer click instead of two exports.
Capabilities
Cost against potential
Each measure is drawn with its abatement potential as width and its cost per tCO₂e as height — the defining geometry of a MACC.
Net-saving measures
Measures with a negative cost sit below the zero line, separating the ones that pay for themselves.
Custom markers
Distinguish measure types with circle, square or triangle markers alongside the bars.
