Journal ArticleDOI
Limited impact on decadal-scale climate change from increased use of natural gas
Haewon McJeon,Jae Edmonds,Nico Bauer,Leon Clarke,B. M. Fisher,Brian P. Flannery,Jérôme Hilaire,Volker Krey,Giacomo Marangoni,Raymond Mi,Keywan Riahi,Holger Rogner,Massimo Tavoni +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that market-driven increases in global supplies of unconventional natural gas do not discernibly reduce the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions or climate forcing, and although market penetration of globally abundant gas may substantially change the future energy system, it is not necessarily an effective substitute for climate change mitigation policy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Making or breaking climate targets: : The AMPERE study on staged accession scenarios for climate policy
Elmar Kriegler,Keywan Riahi,Nico Bauer,Valeria Jana Schwanitz,Nils Petermann,Valentina Bosetti,Adriana Marcucci,Adriana Marcucci,Sander A.C. Otto,Leonidas Paroussos,Shilpa Rao,Tabaré Arroyo Currás,Shuichi Ashina,Johannes Bollen,Jiyong Eom,Meriem Hamdi-Cherif,Thomas Longden,Alban Kitous,Aurélie Méjean,Fuminori Sano,Michiel Schaeffer,Kenichi Wada,Pantelis Capros,Detlef P. van Vuuren,Detlef P. van Vuuren,Ottmar Edenhofer,Ottmar Edenhofer +26 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored a situation of staged accession to a global climate policy regime from the current situation of regionally fragmented and moderate climate action, and found that the resulting climate outcome is unlikely to be consistent with the goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of non-CO2 greenhouse gases in climate change mitigation: Long-term scenarios for the 21st century
Shilpa Rao,Keywan Riahi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of non-CO2 greenhouse gases in meeting long-term climate change targets is examined and two climate mitigation scenarios aimed at achieving longterm stabilization of global radiative forcing are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technological Learning for Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies
Keywan Riahi,Edward S. Rubin,Margaret R. Taylor,Margaret R. Taylor,Leo Schrattenholzer,David A. Hounshell +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potentials of carbon capture and sequestration technologies (CCT) in a set of long-term energy-economic-environmental scenarios based on alternative assumptions for technological progress of CCT were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of top-down and bottom-up estimates of sectoral and regional greenhouse gas emission reduction potentials
Detlef P. van Vuuren,Monique Hoogwijk,Terry Barker,Keywan Riahi,Stefan Boeters,Jean Chateau,S. Serban Scrieciu,Jasper van Vliet,Toshihiko Masui,Kornelis Blok,Eliane Blomen,Tom Kram +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have looked in more detail into the outcomes of specific models and also analyzed the economic potentials at the sectoral and regional level at the aggregated level, the findings of the IPCC report are confirmed.
