GHGs - IFs

Fossil fuel consumption generates carbon dioxide emissions with coefficients specific to coal, oil, and natural gas use.  Net deforestation generates additional carbon emissions or removal. See sections on the energy and agriculture models for discussion of formulations and of control parameters.

IFs does not represent other greenhouse gas emissions, including methane. Nor does it represent technologically based carbon dioxide removal options. The model exogenously represents net carbon dioxide removals from the atmosphere by ocean and land sinks; with its endogenous computation of net carbon emissions from fossil fuels and net deforestation it thereby traces resultant level of atmospheric carbon across the forecast horizon.
