Despite Progress, China Remains Tethered to Coal as Climate Change Pressures Mount
A new paper from the University of California San Diego details how China faces numerous political, economic and technological obstacles as it tries to transition away from coal—the country’s primary energy source—while balancing the need to combat climate change with the need for energy security.
UC San Diego Faculty Available to Speak on Extreme Heat in India
Teevrat Garg, associate professor of economics at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy and Strategy, focuses on environmental policy and energy transitions in low-and middle-income countries. He can comment on the unique challenges extreme heat poses on India, due…
Profitability dynamics of offshore wind from auction to investment decision
Abstract Offshore wind auctions in Europe have recently seen considerable price decreases, with resulting support levels low enough to warrant the question whether project profitabilities are robust enough against changing market prices, or whether project suffer from low returns upon…
Measuring energy transition away from fossil fuels: A new index
Abstract With the adoption of carbon neutrality policies, an increasing number of countries have implemented diverse measures to facilitate the energy transition away from fossil fuels. Ascertaining the efficacy of these measures towards meeting the goals of Paris Agreement and…
Measuring the doughnut: A good and ecological life is possible for all
Sustainability and quality of life – a contradiction? Not necessarily, shows a new study by Empa researchers. According to their calculations, an ecologically and socially just life is possible for over ten billion people. It will, however, require a paradigm shift.
Strategies toward an effective and sustainable energy transition for Cuba
Abstract This study evaluated the possibilities of energy transition in Cuba 2030. Cuba is currently in a vulnerable energy situation since it strongly depends on the importation of fossil energy. Strategies based on intermittent RES (solar and wind) can reduce…
Multi-criteria decision-making for techno-economic and environmentally sustainable decentralized hybrid power and green hydrogen cogeneration system
Abstract For global sustainable development, supplying reliable, clean and affordable energy to all is critical. Also to achieve the stringent carbon emission reduction target, the global energy transition is towards increasing the renewable share of total power generation. As renewable resources are intermittent,…
