Figure 5-10: Standardized global emissions of NMVOCs for SRES scenarios, classified into four scenario families (each<br />

denoted by a different color code - Al, red; A2, brown; Bl, green; B2, blue). Marker scenarios are shown with thick lines<br />

without ticks, globally harmonized scenarios with thin lines, and non-harmonized scenarios with thin, dotted lines (see Table<br />

4-3). Black lines show percentiles, means, and medians for SRES scenarios. For numbers on the two additional illustrative<br />

scenarios AlFI and AIT see Appendix VII.<br />

2.5 times the cuirent level by 2100 (similar to Bl-ASF).<br />

<strong>Emissions</strong> in A2-MESSAGE are fairly similar to those of the<br />

A2 marker, while emissions in A2-AIM decline to 170 Mt by<br />

2100, only half of the A2 marker level. The trajectory in the<br />

AIB marker (AIB-AIM) is very distinct - up to 2060 a fast<br />

growth is observed to more than twice the 1990 level, after<br />

which emissions decline to the B2 family marker level (Figure<br />

5-10). A decrease of NMVOC emissions in AIB-AIM after<br />

2060 is explained mainly by the substitution of fossil fuels with<br />

renewables, especially in the transport sector. A very similar<br />

trajectory emerges in the AIB-MESSAGE scenario, while the<br />

AlB-ASF scenario emissions grow continuously up to 2100,<br />

by when they are the highest of the set at 550 Mt, almost four<br />

times the 1990 level.<br />

5.5.1.3. Carbon Monoxide<br />

CO emissions in 1990 are estimated to range between 752 and<br />

984 MtCO across the models used to derive the SRES<br />

scenarios. The same caveats as for N0^^ and NMVOC<br />

emissions (see above) also apply to CO emissions - the number<br />

of models that represent all the emission source categories is<br />

limited and modeling and data uncertainties, such as emission<br />

factors, are considerable. As a resuh, CO emission estimates<br />

across the scenarios are highly model specific, as indicated by<br />

the overlapping ranges of the four scenario families (Figure 5-<br />

11). From a standardized (see Box 5-1) 1990 level of 880<br />

MtCO the range of future emissions is rather wide for both<br />

medium-term and long-term time horizons. By 2020,<br />

emissions range from 630 to 1550 MtCO, by 2050 they range<br />

between 470 and 2300 MtCO, and by 2100 the range is<br />

between 360 and 3760 MtCO (i.e. one order of magnitude<br />

difference between the highest and the lowest projections).<br />

Focusing on the 25* and 75* percentile intervals reduces<br />

uncertainty ranges somewhat, but nonetheless they remain<br />

substantial - between 1260 and 2300 MtCO by 2100. The<br />

median of all 40 scenarios is tracked quite closely by the B2-<br />

ASF scenario at the global level.<br />

<strong>Emissions</strong> of CO follow rather different trajectories in the SRES<br />

markers than emissions of NMVOCs, except the A2 marker<br />

(A2-ASF). Starting from the standardized (see Box 5-1) level of<br />

880 MtCO in 1990, emissions in the AIB marker (AlB-AlM)<br />

grow continuously and almost double between 1990 and 2100<br />

(Figure 5-11). <strong>Emissions</strong> in AIB-MESSAGE (Roehrl and Riahi,<br />

2000) increase at a higher rate than in the marker and reach<br />

thrice the curtent level by 2100. <strong>Emissions</strong> in AlB-ASF grow as<br />

fast as in AIB-MESSAGE until 2040 (1700 MtCO versus 1650<br />

MtCO for AIB-MESSAGE), when the growth stops and<br />

emissions more or less stabilize. <strong>Emissions</strong> in the B1-IMAGE
