The yellow sections are BECCS, which is basically burning biosmass for energy and then using CCS to capture the co2 from it. That is to say, CCS has already been factored into the models as a necessary assumption for a long time now.
Keep in mind this is completely distinct from using CCS for continued burning of coal/gas/oil, and absolutely not about using it for enhanced oil recovery. Using CCS in those scenarios is like losing money on every unit sold and trying to make it up in volume, its simply bad math.
