Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas, and its atmospheric increase causes concern because of a potential impact on the global climate. A prerequisite for assessing possible future climatic changes is a means to estimate the future development of the atmospheric CO2 concentration, given some energy consumption scenarios. For this purpose, models have been developed which represent the global carbon cycle and the processes which are important for the redistribution of anthropogenic CO2. This paper describes the carbon cycle mechanisms which are relevant in this context, the way in which they are integrated in models and some model results.
