Abstract
This paper discusses the role and benefits of avoiding GHG emissions, and of deploying and promoting "emissions free" energy technologies. The projected needs, market penetrations and transition strategies for non-carbon sources to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of GHGs were examined, including estimates of the benefits and impacts on future atmospheric concentrations, climate change and energy mix. As a result of this approach, the value of avoiding or reducing GHGs were are able to determined. Two values were defined: a monetary value and a social value
