  • Reducing sectoral hard-to-abate emissions to limit reliance on carbon dioxide removal

    Open AccessOreane Y Edelenbosch, Andries F Hof et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2024

    To reach net-zero greenhouse gas targets, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are required to compensate for residual emissions in the hard-to-abate sectors. However, dependencies on CDR technologies involve environmental, technical and social risks, particularly related to increased land requirements for afforestation and bioenergy crops. Here, using scenarios consistent with the 1.5 °C target, we show that demand and technological interve…

  • The shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) greenhouse gas concentrations and their extensions to 2500

    Open AccessMalte Meinshausen, Zebedee Nicholls et al.ARTICLEGeoscientific Model Development2020

    Anthropogenic increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are the main driver of current and future climate change. The integrated assessment community has quantified anthropogenic emissions for the shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) scenarios, each of which represents a different future socio-economic projection and political environment. Here, we provide the greenhouse gas concentrations for these SSP scenarios – using the reduced-c…

  • Global emissions pathways under different socioeconomic scenarios for use in CMIP6: A dataset of harmonized emissions trajectories through the end of the century

    Open AccessMatthew Gidden, Keywan Riahi et al.ARTICLEGeoscientific Model Development2019

    We present a suite of nine scenarios of future emissions trajectories of anthropogenic sources, a key deliverable of the ScenarioMIP experiment within CMIP6. Integrated assessment model results for 14 different emissions species and 13 emissions sectors are provided for each scenario with consistent transitions from the historical data used in CMIP6 to future trajectories using automated harmonization before being downscaled to provide higher emi…

  • Shared Socio-Economic Pathways of the Energy Sector – Quantifying the Narratives

    Open AccessNico Bauer, Katherine Calvin et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 23References: 16

    Energy is crucial for supporting basic human needs, development and well-being. The future evolution of the scale and character of the energy system will be fundamentally shaped by socioeconomic conditions and drivers, available energy resources, technologies of energy supply and transformation, and end-use energy demand. However, because energy-related activities are significant sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental a…

  • Energy, land-use and greenhouse gas emissions trajectories under a green growth paradigm

    Open AccessDetlef P Van Vuuren, Elke Stehfest et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 78References: 4

    This paper describes the possible developments in global energy use and production, land use, emissions and climate changes following the SSP1 storyline, a development consistent with the green growth (or sustainable development) paradigm (a more inclusive development respecting environmental boundaries). The results are based on the implementation using the IMAGE 3.0 integrated assessment model and are compared with a) other IMAGE implementation…

  • Impact of the choice of emission metric on greenhouse gas abatement and costs

    Open AccessMaarten van den Berg, Andries F Hof et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    This paper analyses the effect of different emission metrics and metric values on timing and costs of greenhouse gas mitigation in least-cost emission pathways aimed at a forcing level of 3.5 W m-2 in 2100. Such an assessment is currently relevant in view of UNFCCC's decision to replace the values currently used. An emission metric determines the relative weights of non-CO2 greenhouse gases in obtaining CO2-equivalent emissions. For the first com…
