Total stranded generation of fossil fuel power plants (including coal-, gas- and oil-fired) from 2021 to 2100 in all technologies deployed scenarios of AMPERE consistent with greenhouse gas concentrations stabilise at 450 ppm. Stranded generation are computed by fuel and then aggregated. We assume no conversion of the currently operating and in-the-pipeline fossil-fuel power plants to be equipped with carbon capture and storage, and no conversion of the currently operating and in-the-pipeline coal-fired power plants to bioenergy or gas. Scatter points represent the estimation from individual integrated assessment model and bars show the means across all models.
