Quantifying the implied risk for newly-built coal plant to become stranded asset by carbon pricing

Jianlei Mo et al.

Summary: This study quantifies the risk of newly-built coal plants becoming stranded assets under carbon pricing, focusing on the case of China as a heavily coal-dependent nation introducing a national carbon market. Results show that carbon pricing increases the risk of coal plants becoming stranded assets and shortens their lifespan.

Can China decarbonize its electricity sector?

E. Demetriou et al.

Summary: China, the world's most populous country, is also the top emitter of CO2, with power generation being the main culprit. A projection of future electricity production in China between 2017 and 2050 shows that renewables alone are unable to meet electricity demand without fossil fuel supplementation. Only the Coal Free (CFr) and Goals scenarios are able to fulfill China's COP21 targets.

Achieving grid parity of offshore wind power in China-A comparative analysis among different provinces

Qiang Tu et al.

Summary: This study estimates learning rates and projects future LCOEs of offshore wind power in different provinces in China, assessing the possibility, timeline, and conditions of achieving grid parity, as well as exploring the carbon finance policies needed. Additionally, a policy strategy aimed at achieving grid parity among different regions is proposed.

Financing coal-fired power plant to demonstrate CCS (carbon capture and storage) through an innovative policy incentive in China

Lin Yang et al.

Summary: This study explores a non-fiscal incentive policy of granting extra electricity quotas to finance early CCS demonstration projects in China. It finds that coal-fired power plants can operate at a profit with CCS retrofitting if provided with extra electricity quotas, with the necessary quota ranging from 4709 to 7260 hours per year during the demonstration stage.

Carbon reduction potential of China's coal-fired power plants based on a CCUS source-sink matching model

Jing-Li Fan et al.

Summary: Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) is seen as crucial for deep CO2 reduction in China's power sector. The study found that saline aquifers and oil fields in major sedimentary basins have enormous storage potential, with transport distance being a key factor affecting CO2 sequestration.

Unextractable fossil fuels in a 1.5 °C world

Dan Welsby et al.

Summary: Parties to the 2015 Paris Agreement have pledged to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius, but a sharp decline in fossil fuel use is required to keep the temperature increase below 1.5 degrees Celsius. A global energy systems model shows that by 2050, 60% of oil and fossil methane gas, and 90% of coal must remain unextracted to stay within a 1.5 degrees Celsius carbon budget.

Source sector and fuel contributions to ambient PM2.5 and attributable mortality across multiple spatial scales

Erin E. McDuffie et al.

Summary: Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is one of the most important environmental health risk factors in many regions. The authors assessed PM2.5 emission sources and related health impacts across global to sub-national scales, finding that over 1 million deaths were avoidable in 2017 by eliminating PM2.5 mass associated with fossil fuel combustion emissions.

Global bioenergy with carbon capture and storage potential is largely constrained by sustainable irrigation

Zhipin Ai et al.

Summary: This study shows that while unlimited irrigation can significantly increase the potential of Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), sustainable irrigation only slightly enhances its potential. The global BECCS potential is influenced by irrigation constraints.
