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...

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...

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...

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...

• 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...

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...

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)...

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...
