Call for papers: Achieving carbon neutrality in China’s power sector

You are invited to submit your work to the special issue organizing with
#MichaelDavidson, #JiangLin, and #ZhaohongBie in The Electricity Journal.

The global clean energy supply chain stands at a critical intersection of immense benefits and pressing challenges. We propose advancing a just, resilient, and sustainable clean energy supply chain to achieve climate goals:

Global PV has achieved a net GHG mitigation of 1.29 Gt CO2e from 2009–2019, 1.97 Gt from PV generation minus 0.68 Gt of life-cycle emissions along manufacturing.

If prioritizing manufacturing at lower-carbon regions, and PV installations in carbon-intensive nations, the highest net GHG mitigation among future manufacturing-installation-scenarios to meet 40% global power demand in 2060 is as high as 204.7 Gt from 2020–2060.

Deploying solar photovoltaic energy first in carbon-intensive regions brings gigatons more carbon mitigations to 2060 - Communications Earth & Environment

Solar photovoltaic energy has the greatest potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions if manufactured in North America and Europe but deployed in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, according to a spatialized-dynamic life-cycle-analysis approach

Climate change impacts energy supply, it impacts energy demand too, what about supply and demand balance?

Our paper published in Nature Energy finds that climate change is projected to reduce the supply-demand match (SDM) of wind or solar energy in up to 32% and 44% of non-Antarctic land area, respectively, by the end of this century.

Climate change impacts on planned supply–demand match in global wind and solar energy systems - Nature Energy

Energy demand patterns will shift under climate change, but so will generated electricity, particularly as the wind and solar power supply increases. Here the authors model the impacts of climate change on future supply–demand match, highlighting the importance of changes in climate variability.

Data cleaning in hard. It's a skill that can truly only be developed through practice. I thought it'd be fun to show the world an example "practice session" where I clean some gasoline price data I need for a project I'm working on. These data are in the form of 16 Excel files downloaded from eia.gov

The Cost of Going Solo in Solar

@jhelvy , #MichaelDavidson, and I summarize our recent Nature paper:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05316-6

There is a Chinese idiom that has a close corollary in the English-speaking world: 同舟共济 (tóng zhōu gòng jì), which roughly translates to “same boat, work together.” Time is not on our side. Countries like the U.S. and China must find a way to address their geopolitical differences while simultaneously working together to lower the cost of LCETs.

Three decades. That is how much time is left to decarbonize the world’s energy systems to limit global warming to 1.5°C, according to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) [...]

Lecture 8: Energy and climate change policy

Focusing on explaining the evolution of thoughts from mitigation wedges, to the Mckinsey cost curve, to best practices, to the social cost of carbon.
