heal.abstract	The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the frequently used definitions of the carbon price for one tonne of carbon dioxide avoided or reduced. This per unit cost plays an important role in estimating the benefit of avoiding greenhouse gas emissions or estimating the damage occurred when such gases are emitted. The economic valuation of carbon is essential for various purposes: designating environmental policies like optimal taxes and evaluating the economic efficiency of projects. Furthermore, the disutility cost can be used in cost benefit analysis and therefore in risk assessment. A framework called Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) is currently, the major risk assessment tool that is being used for policy-making within the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Therefore the work can also be also viewed within the framework of FSA, Cost-Benefit Analysis and similar risk assessment and policy evaluation analyses.	en
