Quotation: Even if options are available that are low cost and represent additional effort beyond the AEO base case, these options may have relatively little bearing on the price of carbon in a competitive environment.

Keep in mind that we're interested in terms that are not well-covered in mainstream dictionaries, or not covered at all. A mass of unexamined Google hits counts for nothing, but an early use of the term you've found in a book or periodical is very useful. A term does not have to be new to be recorded here, it merely needs to be worthy of more attention.
