Global final energy use in a industry and b transportation for the six scenario narratives (see Fig. 1) under a 2 °C end-of-century temperature target. Energy use for DACCS in the industrial sector is substantial under the high CDR scenarios and is indicated separately with diagonal gray lines. Fossil fuels include direct burning and refined liquids from coal, natural gas, and oil; bioenergy includes solid and liquid bio-based fuels; fossil fuel energy for DACCS is natural gas. Scenarios are color-coded as in other plots and labeled: (1) Plan High & Learn High, (2) Plan High & Learn Low (Keep Target), (3) Plan High & Learn Low (Keep Tax), (4) Plan Low & Learn Low, (5) Plan Low & Learn High (Keep Target), (6) Plan Low & Learn High (Keep Tax). For more details on fossil fuel use across sectors, see SI Fig. S3.
