We are relying on robust tools to align our capital allocation
October 2020 1 As of June 2021. Values include assumptions for low maturity technologies, carrying uncertainties.
▪ Increase in low carbon CAPEX: US$ 4-6 billion
investment by 2030 for GHG reduction
▪ US$ 50/tCO2e shadow price for all capital allocation
decisions
▪ Portfolio of GHG reduction opportunities: marginal
abatement cost curve updated on an annual basis, in order
to prioritize most cost-efficient projects to pilot and scale up
▪ ~80% of initiatives mapped are NPV positive¹ at the
considered shadow price, with increased technological
maturity due to piloting and studies
MAC curve highlights – 2021 update
▪ Increased number of emission reduction initiatives from 30+
in 2020 to 40+ in 2021
▪ Increased maturity of projects through pilots
▪ ~50% of commercial entering FEL stage
