Our latest analysis shows 1) cutting the last 10-20% of CO2 emissions in China's #power system is highly cost-effective: less than 1% increase in system costs, dwarfed by substantial #climate and #health benefits; 2) such reduction requires almost a tripling of #China's transmission network by 2050

In 2024, #China added 373 GW of renewables including 278 GW of solar and 80 GW of wind power. Renewables now contribute to 35% of its electricity generation. Moreover, the incremental renewable generation met ~ 86% of the demand growth! The #CleanEnergyTransition is irreversible!

California’s new building codes will require #EV chargers in most new overnight parking spots starting in 2026, going a big way toward solving the only actual problem with EVs. More details below 👇

Our recent paper @Nature Communication shows: 1 a large (660 Mtons of CO2e) potential @ an avg cost of -$6.40/tCO2e in China in 2030 2 methane emissions in China could be reduced by 37% by 2035, compared to that in 2020 3 support is needed to cut remaining emissions www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As the cost of battery storage continues to drop and wholesale electricity market expands in China, the case for solar and storage is even better today than we wrote the story earlier in 204. @berkeleylabemp.bsky.social @berkeleylab.bsky.social www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-s...
