aCO2 emissions are from energy combustion only and do not include emissions from energy production or industrial processes.
bAs noted in the letter of request in Appendix A, the AEO2001 reference case is the starting point for this analysis.
Note: AEO2001 = Annual Energy Outlook 2001; Btu = British thermal unit; CEF = Clean Energy Future; CO2 = carbon dioxide.
