From: Plant conversions and abatement technologies cannot prevent stranding of power plant assets in 2 °C scenarios

Fig. 4

Impacts are computed from the difference in stranded generation between all technologies deployed scenarios and the scenarios with one technology insufficiently deployed. Positive effects suggest that the amount of stranded generation increases when a particular technology is unavailable or insufficiently deployed. For energy intensity, the impact represented the difference between the scenarios where the energy intensity reduces at historical rates and 1.5 times historical rates. Scatter points represent the estimation of individual models and bars show the average across all integrated assessment models. The percentage values next to each bar represent the average change in stranded generation in scenarios with one technology insufficiently deployed compared to the scenarios with all technologies deployed.
