Three cap paths as factors relative to 2025 emissions, for building carbon-cap scenarios (see the Scenarios article): ets_cap (the EU ETS cap shape under the Fit-for-55 linear reduction factors, zero around 2039 – deliberately the tightest of the three; note the cap is bankable, so it is not a hard annual emissions ceiling), ndc (the EU's economy-wide pledges – -55% 2030, the 2035 NDC midpoint, -90% 2040, neutrality 2050 – mapped to 2025-relative factors) and nz2050 (linear to zero at 2050). Multiply by a base-year emission level (the model's own solved 2025 emissions) to obtain cap right-hand sides.
