Input for the modules consists of baseline scenarios on population, GDP and emissions, as calculated by the IMAGE modelling framework. Emissions are from all major sources and include all six Kyoto greenhouse gases. {{abbrTemplate|MAC}} curves describing mitigation potential and costs of greenhouse gas emission reductions are derived from the TIMER energy model and the IMAGE land-use model. The MAC curves take into account a wide range of options, including carbon plantations, carbon capture and storage ({{abbrTemplate|CCS}}), bio, wind and solar energy, and energy efficiency and technological improvements. In addition, FAIR can also use emission projections and MACs from other models, such as the [[POLES model|POLES]] energy system model ([[Enerdata, 2010b]]) and [[IIASA database|IIASA land-use]] models ([[Kindermann et al., 2008]]), to assess the sensitivity of the outcomes to these inputs.
