Reducing transition costs towards carbon neutrality of China's coal power plants.

Nat Commun

January 2025

State Key Joint Laboratory of Environment Simulation and Pollution Control (SKLESPC), School of Environment, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines various pathways for transitioning coal power that can achieve the same carbon emission reduction targets, focusing on costs associated with different mitigation technologies.
  • By using a dynamic optimization model for over 4,200 coal plants in China, the research finds that plants can retrofit multiple technologies, retiring at lower costs while enhancing grid stability.
  • Optimizing these transition pathways could save China over $700 billion or increase emissions reductions substantially without extra expenses, aiding in a cost-effective phase-out of coal and supporting carbon neutrality goals.

Chickpeas are a vital source of protein and starch for a large portion of the world's population and are known to be impacted by heat stress at every life stage. Previously known as an "Orphan Legume", little is known of the genetic control of heat stress tolerance, and most previous research has focused on heat avoidance rather than tolerance. This study utilised a population of 148 chickpea genotypes, primarily Kabulis, in 12 field trials conducted at 2 locations, two sowing periods, and across 3 years.

Background: The Protozoan pathogen Eimeria is a significant issue in poultry production. Scientists are concerned with finding alternative strategies due to the spread of resistance against the commonly employed coccidiostats. This study examined how well myrrh extract (MyE) protected domesticated pigeons from an experimental Eimeria labbeana-like infection.
