Table 2 Scenarios used for our ECEMF sector-coupling study

From: Electricity- and hydrogen-driven energy system sector-coupling in net-zero CO2 emission pathways

Scenario name

Main feature

NPI

National Policy Implementation: no additional policies are included except those agreed upon to date.

C0-80

The CO2 price grows from 0 to 80 $/tCO2 before 2040, and increases with a 5%/yr rate after 2040.

C400-lin

The CO2 price grows linearly from 130 to 580 $/tCO2 between 2025 and 2050.

  1. The main features of each of our three scenarios are specified, where applicable, with the corresponding exogenous CO2 price trajectory over time (in $/tCO2).
