From Rothesay,
At first glance a user could be confused by what REMIND means?
Maybe a high level summary:
Decarbonisation pathway: Renewables. Power supply is tilted towards solar, but there is a material increase in wind. EV uptake reaches more than 2/3rds of new passenger vehicles sales by 2050. Carbon sequestration for fossil fuels is limited, but there is significant BECCS (Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage)
Energy mix in 2C
• Coal use eliminated
• Oil use is lower by 2050 but still high due to feedstock use and hard to decarbonise sectors
• Gas use halves in delayed scenario
Maybe an explanation as to why REMIND was selected? – Something like “NGFS REMIND scenarios were selected based on their widespread adoption, technical criteria, relevance and comparability”
