emission driven future simulation compset

Hi

I have a question regarding the differences between some compsets, more specifically regarding an emission driven setup compared to a concentration driven setup.
This difference is quite clear within the historical simulations as we have a compset for emission driven runs (BHIST_BPRP) and one for concentration driven runs (BHIST).
What is somewhat unclear to me however is in which category do the SSP simulations (e.g. BSSP2-2.6) belong to? When comparing the information given regarding these compsets to those of the 2 historical simulations mentioned before I can deduce that these are likely concentration driven (is this correct?) in which case my main question is the following: how can I construct an emission driven future simulation? From the compset descriptions found here (CESM2 Component Sets Definition) I would think that the only thing needed to be adapted are the flags for the ocean biogeochemistry (BGC CO2=diag, rad CO2=diag) but I assume this is probably too simplistic and there are some differences in the land model as well.

Could somoene give me some guidance on this?
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers
Steven

ps: I am using cesm2.1.3.

I am going to move this to the CAM forum. I am not sure if that is the right place.
