Using Decision Support Systems to Quantify the Costs associated with CO2 Management

With global CO2 legislation becoming increasingly stringent, businesses from various industries are incorporating the costs associated with CO2 emissions into their decision-making. Balancing commercial and environmental objectives is challenging and thus requires a structured approach in order to accurately quantify the impacts of CO2 legislation on the business financial margin. Using Decision Support Systems (DSS) are one the many ways of dealing with the CO2 management decision problem. The results in this paper show that using DSS could be an effective approach to mitigate the commercial implications of CO2 legislation.
