The energy transition to net-zero carbon emissions may exacerbate regional inequities, impeding an orderly national transition and threatening global climate goals. This challenge might be particularly severe in China, as it simultaneously faces...

Amid global efforts to reduce travel-induced emissions, extensive research has explored the impact of urban development on residents’ travel behaviors. Yet, the interplay between urban development and generational shifts in active travel remain less...

Renewable hydrogen could have a role in decarbonizing energy-intensive industries and in achieving net-zero economies. The impacts of renewable-hydrogen production and use on industrial value chains and the geography of production are debated, as there is...

Increased penetration of renewables has posed a significant influence on the wholesale electricity market. For markets with a limited number of large generation companies, such as China, the manner in which bidding strategies for these companies could...

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a promising decarbonization solution for aviation, but its adoption remains below 1% due to high cost. As municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to grow and sustainable disposal remains challenging, converting MSW into...

China has launched a comprehensive market-oriented reform of the power sector since 2015 to foster competition and enhance efficiency. This article summarizes the progress, achievements, and challenges of these reforms. Progress has been made in enhancing...

Utility-scale photovoltaic (USPV) stands out as one of the foremost renewable energy technologies crucial for achieving global climate targets, owing to its low carbon footprint. While individual case studies exist, a comprehensive global analysis of the...

Electrification represents a critical pathway to decarbonize the ammonia and methanol industries by reducing fossil fuel reliance. However, a greater understanding is needed of how the spatiotemporal mismatch between renewable generation and chemical load...

• Captures the beneficial implications of the transition to a carbon-free future, especially for impoverished rural Indian youth
• Provides relevant learnings in the context of urgent and diverse global climate change concerns
• Demonstrates how India can combine...

The causal relationship between the built environment, car ownership, and travel-induced pollutant emissions remains obscured by residential self-selection (RSS) bias. This study leverages China’s unique housing demolition and resettlement program to...

Urban heat island (UHI) effects contribute to not only higher cooling energy demand of buildings but also an increase in peak demand. While UHI effects vary across a city, limited research has been conducted on the effects of microclimate on building...

The aviation industry, contributing 2.8% of global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, faces significant decarbonization challenges. This study examines China’s aviation sector, which is expected to become the world’s largest market. An integrated model...

As the largest oil and gas producer in the United States, Texas confronts significant challenges in its shift toward decarbonization. This study explores the potential for green hydrogen in Texas as a substitute for current development, underscoring...

We present evidence on the distortions that arise from imperfect regulations compared with market allocation mechanisms. Using a triple difference strategy, we evaluate the effectiveness of the Energy-Saving Generation Dispatch reform in China, which aims...

The wet bulb temperature (T_w) has gained considerable attention as a crucial indicator of heat-related health risks. Here we report south-to-north spatially heterogeneous trends of T_w in China over 1979-2018. We find that actual water vapor pressure (E_a)...

Large-scale closure of coal mines is required for China to achieve carbon neutrality. However, what this means for methane emissions, particularly for abandoned mine methane (AMM), is highly uncertain. Here we construct a detailed and dynamic coal mine...

Understanding the immediate impacts of air pollution is crucial, especially as non-health outcomes like player productivity are covert. This paper focuses on investigating the causal relationship between air pollution and player productivity, which is...
