Short summary
The AR6 Scenarios Database lacks data on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) via land sinks for many pathways, hindering secondary scenario analyses. We tested and compared regression models, identifying k-nearest neighbors regression as most effective to predict missing CDR data. We provide an imputation dataset for incomplete global scenarios (n = 404) and for regional scenario variants (n = 2358) and discuss the caveats of our study, its use cases, and how our dataset compares to other approaches.
