CO2 emissions mitigation and technological advance: an analysis of advanced technology scenarios
This report documents a scenario analysis exploring the role of advanced technology in stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The conceptual framework for the analysis is a set of technology futures implemented in the MiniCAM integrated assessment model. Each future describes a set of technological developments over the 21st century, with a focus on the energy system. A range of futures were produced for this analysis, based on combinations of technological advances among technologies and technology sets.
