Figure TS.8: Emission pathways of mitigation scenarios for alternative categories of stabilization targets (Category I to VI as defined in the box in each panel). Lightbrown shaded areas give the CO₂ emissions for the recent mitigation scenarios developed post-TAR. Green shaded and hatched areas depict the range of more than 80 TAR stabilization scenarios (Morita et al., 2001). Category I and II scenarios explore stabilization targets below the lowest of TAR. Base year emissions may differ between models due to differences in sector and industry coverage. To reach the lower stabilization levels some scenarios deploy removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere (negative emissions) using technologies such as biomass energy production utilizing carbon capture and storage [Figure 3.17].
