Impact of declining renewable energy costs on electrification in low-emission scenarios

Gunnar Luderer et al.

Summary: The rapid cost degression in photovoltaics, wind-power, and battery storage, along with climate policies like carbon pricing to reach the Paris Climate targets, could make electricity cheaper than carbon-based fuels. This could lead to electricity accounting for nearly two-thirds of global energy use by mid-century, inducing a fundamental transformation in energy systems.

Effects of decarbonization on the energy system and related employment effects in South Africa

Jonathan Hanto et al.

Summary: This paper assesses the impact of decarbonization on the energy system and related employment in South Africa, showing how the increase in renewable energy sources can partially offset the decline in coal-related jobs. A transition from coal to renewable energy requires comprehensive plans, policy formulations, support mechanisms, and structural transformation to mitigate employment impacts and ensure a just transition.

Superposition of Renewable-Energy Supply from Multiple Sites Maximizes Demand-Matching: Towards 100% Renewable Grids in 2050

Loiy Al-Ghussain et al.

Summary: This research shows that optimizing a hybrid solar-wind system at multiple locations is more effective than a system at a single high-potential site, leading to a higher renewable energy system fraction. The study in Jordan demonstrates that through multi-objective optimization, it is possible to achieve nearly 100% renewable energy without the need for energy storage systems.

Combined solar power and storage as cost-competitive and grid-compatible supply for China's future carbon-neutral electricity system

Xi Lu et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution of solar photovoltaic potentials in China from 2020 to 2060, with results showing an increase in technical potential and a decrease in national average power price. The cost advantage of solar PV combined with storage could potentially provide a significant amount of grid-compatible electricity by 2060, offering a cheaper and more grid-compatible alternative to coal-fired power for China and other countries.

Pathway towards 100% renewable energy in Indonesia power system by 2050

Nadhilah Reyseliani et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the transition pathway of Indonesia's power system to reach 100% renewable energy by 2050. It concludes that nuclear and solar PV utility-scale will play crucial roles, with the investment cost three times higher and emissions one-sixth lower than in a Business as Usual scenario. Additionally, the RE mix based on current policy generates a higher CO2 abatement cost in 2050.

Climate action with revenue recycling has benefits for poverty, inequality and well-being

Mark Budolfson et al.

Summary: By equal per capita refund of carbon tax revenues, achieving a 2 degrees C target can bring significant and immediate dividends for well-being improvement, inequality reduction and poverty alleviation. The optimal policy should consist of aggressive near-term climate action followed by a gradual shift towards full decarbonization to prevent climate runaway and preserve tax revenues for redistribution.
