Capital investment requirements for greenhouse gas emissions mitigation in power generation on near term to century time scales and global to regional spatial scales

Journal Article Chaturvedi, Vaibhav ; Clarke, Leon E. ; Edmonds, James A. ; ... - Energy Economics, 46:267-278

Electrification plays a crucial role in cost-effective greenhouse gas emissions mitigation strategies. Such strategies in turn carry implications for financial capital markets. This paper explores the implication of climate mitigation policy for capital investment demands by the electric power sector on decade to century time scales. We go further to explore the implications of technology performance and the stringency of climate policy for capital investment demands by the power sector. Finally, we discuss the regional distribution of investment demands. We find that stabilizing GHG emissions will require additional investment in the electricity generation sector over and above investments that wouldmore »« less

Climate mitigation’s impact on global and regional electric power sector water use in the 21st Century

Journal Article Dooley, James J. ; Kyle, G. Page ; Davies, Evan - Energy Procedia, 37:2470-2478

Over the course of this coming century, global electricity use is expected to grow at least five fold and if stringent greenhouse gas emissions controls are in place the growth could be more than seven fold from current levels. Given that the electric power sector represents the second largest anthropogenic use of water and given growing concerns about the nature and extent of future water scarcity driven by population growth and a changing climate, significant concern has been expressed about the electricity sector’s use of water going forward. In this paper, the authors demonstrate that an often overlooked but absolutelymore »« less

Co-benefits of global and regional greenhouse gas mitigation for US air quality in 2050

Journal Article Zhang, Yuqiang ; Bowden, Jared H. ; Adelman, Zachariah ; ... - Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Online)

Policies to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will not only slow climate change but can also have ancillary benefits of improved air quality. Here we examine the co-benefits of both global and regional GHG mitigation for US air quality in 2050 at fine resolution, using dynamical downscaling methods, building on a previous global co-benefits study (West et al., 2013). The co-benefits for US air quality are quantified via two mechanisms: through reductions in co-emitted air pollutants from the same sources and by slowing climate change and its influence on air quality, following West et al. (2013). Additionally, we separate the totalmore »« less

Co-benefits of mitigating global greenhouse gas emissions for future air quality and human health

Journal Article West, Jason ; Smith, Steven J. ; Silva, Raquel ; ... - Nature Climate Change, 3(10):885-889

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions also influences air quality. We simulate the co-benefits of global GHG reductions on air quality and human health via two mechanisms: a) reducing co-emitted air pollutants, and b) slowing climate change and its effect on air quality. Relative to a reference scenario, global GHG mitigation in the RCP4.5 scenario avoids 0.5±0.2, 1.3±0.6, and 2.2±1.6 million premature deaths in 2030, 2050, and 2100, from changes in fine particulate matter and ozone. Global average marginal co-benefits of avoided mortality are $40-400 (ton CO2)-1, exceeding marginal abatement costs in 2030 and 2050, and within the low range ofmore »« less

Local, Regional, and Global Trade-Offs of Hydropower Relicensing Decisions An Analysis of Electric Generation, Revenue, Electricity Market, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Local Environmental Impacts

Other Rand, Joseph

Large hydropower systems incur various impacts on society and the environment, but the manner in which these systems are operated can determine the severity of these impacts. The federal hydropower relicensing process – which occurs only once every 30-50 years – examines a number of potential impacts, but disregards others. This paper identifies some of the local, regional, and global trade-offs that should be examined more explicitly in relicensing proceedings. These include higher-resolution analyses of impacts on generation and revenue (including ancillary services) and the potential greenhouse gas impacts of different hydropower operating regimes. Any reduction of low-carbon generation maymore »« less
