  1. aThe 1.0_uni scenario was not analyzed by the STEM model because of limited mitigation options in the model. It is assumed that the renewable potentials are limited and CCS is unavailable. Neither purchase of emission credit nor import of zero carbon energy commodities are considered
  2. bThis scenario is not implemented by the STEM model, given its characteristics of a bottom-up model, which does not represent the whole economy
  3. cThis scenario is not implemented by the CEPE-316 model because the model does not make a distinction between heating and transport oil
