1 Carbon model The central carbon model used for constructing the ZCB scenario is a basic accountancy tool that takes output from other modelled areas (the Food and diets model, Land use model, Power Up and Power Down ), and measures them against a baseline year. For the ZCB scenario, our baseline year is We take the UK emissions accounts from this year, including international aviation and shipping [1, 2]. We first allocate those emissions that would be dealt with by other models. For example: Those directly associated with energy (energy generation, energy use, transport). Input from Power Up/Power Down for ZCB scenario. Those directly attributable to agricultural systems (aside from farm machinery, which is allocated under transport). Input from Food and diets model for ZCB scenario. Those directly attributable to land use, or change in land use. Input from Land Use model for ZCB scenario. For those emissions that are not taken into account in other models, then we find out to what extent the emissions can be reduced. Justifications are provided below. An additional impact on climate change due to the release of greenhouse gases by aviation as also added. This total is the figure that must finally become net zero. The other models are adjusted such that this constraint is met alongside all other internal constraints of those models. Details are shown in Table 1.

Residential Aerosols and metered dose inhalers 2.7 Industrial Processes Sinter production 1.2 see 'Total Iron and Steel' Cement production 3.8 AEA [3] identify 4.4 MtCO2 from 9.6 MtCO2 (54% reduction) without CCS but this includes energy emissions. 40% clinker substitution is considered feasible [3]; we use a 40% process CO2 emission reduction from 2007 levels. ZCB would also have switch to alternative materials for buildings etc. but may also require cement for energy infrastructure, hence assume 2007 levels of cement production. Lime production 0.2 Non-cement lime production - assumed to remain at 2007 levels. Limestone and dolomite use 0.8 Iron and steel related emissions reduced as part of Total Iron and Steel. Emissions associated with power station flue gas

Soda ash production and use 0.2 Remains as 2007 Fletton bricks 0.1 Remains as 2007 Ammonia production 1 Use hydrogen from electrolysis, therefore, emissions are reduced to zero. Total iron and steel AEA [3] states potential for abatement of of MtCO2e by This is maximum feasible abatement and appears to be achievable by several routes, therefore assume it represents full abatement of non-process emissions by fuel switching and some reduction of process emissions by more recycling. Iron and steel 1.5 see Total Iron and Steel. Aluminium production 0.4 Emissions from ore reduction remain the same as For F-gases 75% should be achievable for ZCB as per [11] and is applied to Nitric acid production 1.3 By changing production processes, it is possible to reduce emissions from the production of these acids by 90 98% at a low cost [11]. 97% reduction from 2007 level assumed for ZCB.

Total impact This value that must total zero. * These two do not appear in UK carbon accounts but form part of carbon capture in the ZCB scenario. ** Emissions Weighting Factor (EWF) for aviation (akin to GWP for GHGs) = 1.6 [8] Note that this figure is highly debated. [4, 5, 6, 7] *** A 2007 baseline is used for industry non-energy emissions. This is in line with assuming that industrial output remains at 2007 levels.
