Accelerating ASEAN's energy transition in the power sector through cross-border transmission and a net-zero 2050 view.

Faced with energy transition objectives, the ten countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have technology options to decarbonize power sector. This study investigates the hypothetical decarbonization pathways for ASEAN's power sector. Here, we present an integrated power system capacity expansion model for ASEAN over 2018-2050.

Business model and supporting policies for projects to implement carbon capture and power-to-gas technologies.

The project portfolio of carbon capture system and power to gas (CP project) is considered to be a key technology combination for achieving carbon emission reduction and recycling in the future. However, due to a dearth of associated engineering practices and business activities, there is no widely used business model for the large-scale deployment of the CP technology portfolio. The design and evaluation of the business model is crucial for projects with a long industrial chain and complex relationships between stakeholders, such as CP projects.

Embodied energy and intensity in China's (normal and processing) exports and their driving forces, 2005-2015.

International trade has important impacts on a country's energy consumption. This paper first uses the time-series (2005-2015) extended input-output database to study China's embodied energy and intensity in both normal and processing exports. Structural decomposition analysis (SDA) is then applied to analyze the driving forces behind the embodiment changes.

Optimizing the Chinese Electricity Mix for CO Emission Reduction: An Input-Output Linear Programming Model with Endogenous Capital.

This study develops an input-output linear programming (IO-LP) model to identify a cost-effective strategy to reduce the economy-wide carbon dioxide (CO) emissions in China from 2020 to 2050 through a shift in the electricity generation mix. In particular, the fixed capital formation of electricity technologies (FCFE) is endogenized so that the capital-related CO emissions of various generation technologies can be captured in the model. The modeling results show that low-carbon electricity, e.
