Escalating construction expenses threaten to derail global progress on atomic energy. China offers lessons on how to rein in costs.
A coal power worker needs to travel 194 (178–242) km on average to access a green job. Only 11%–14% of existing coal power workers will transition to green jobs by 2060.
A net GHG mitigation of 1.29 Gt CO2-equivalent from 2009–2019, achieved by 1.97 Gt of mitigation from installation minus 0.68 Gt of emissions from manufacturing.
We find heterogeneous strategy provides the lowest system costs, however, carbon emissions depend on carbon prices.
We build a global unit-level framework to investigate the CO2 emission and energy penalty due to the deployment of dry cooling.
Up to 32% or 44% of non-Antarctic land areas for wind or solar, respectively, are projected to experience supply demand match reductions by the end of this century under an…
Globalized supply chain has saved solar installers in the U.S., Germany, and China $67B 2008-2020, and solar prices will be 20-30% higher in 2030 if countries move to…
In this Perspective, we summarize the key features of China’s CO2 emissions, its reduction processes and successes in meeting climate targets.
Aggressive coal-transition pathway is needed to achieve carbon nutrality goal while achieving water saving, avoiding premature death.
A renewable dominant pathway is not just technogical sound, but also cost effective.
Key experiences and lessons to be learned from China’s successful program to provide electricity for all.
SWITCH-China, an integrated model for power sector decarbonization.
