The Role of the Sustainable Development Concept in Shaping Energy Policy Transformations in the Caspian Region Countries by R. A. Aliev

“…The research endeavor seeks to determine the main directions for transforming the energy policies of oil and gas producing countries in the Caspian region in response to imperatives of sustainable development.At present, the most relevant aspects of energy policy in the Caspian countries involve the further development of oil and gas projects, strict adherence to environmental standards and regulations, ensuring energy efficiency across the entire production chain, and the implementation of "operational decarbonization" measures and carbon capture and storage technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of the fuel and energy complex. …”

Carbon Credits Through Wood Use: Revisiting the Maximum Potential and Sensitivity to Key Assumptions by Jari Niemi, Sampo Soimakallio, Elias Hurmekoski, Tanja Myllyviita, Janni Kunttu, Federico Lingua, Tord Snäll

“…TCCs of wood use can be increased by directing wood into uses that substitute fossil‐intensive materials and have a long lifetime, such as construction materials, and increasing energy recovery and avoiding emitting carbon at the end of life of harvested wood products by carbon capture and storage. However, they were very likely to be considerably lower than forest carbon debits resulting from harvesting additional wood for substitution under all considered circumstances and under a wide but reasonable range of stochastic parameter values. …”

Long-duration energy storage in transmission-constrained variable renewable energy systems by Andrew K. Chu, Ejeong Baik, Sally M. Benson

“…Science for society: If emissions-free power from controllable sources such as nuclear energy or fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage is not accessible, long-duration energy storage (LDES) is essential for decarbonizing the electricity grid, as it helps balance supply and demand of electricity over extended periods when solar and wind power are unavailable. …”

Low‐carbon economic schedule of the H2DRI‐EAF steel plant integrated with a power‐to‐hydrogen system driven by blue hydrogen and green hydrogen by Bokang Zou, Yuanshi Zhang, Qirui Chen, Qinran Hu, Xiaoyan Hu, Jing Shi, Zesen Li, Qi Wang

“…An illustrating method is utilised for modelling the entire steel production process and power to hydrogen (PtH2) process in detail for the H2DRI‐EAF steel plant, which includes natural gas, photovoltaic, wind power self‐provided power plants, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is developed for the comprehensive scheduling of the steel mill. …”

Reducing transition costs towards carbon neutrality of China’s coal power plants by Rui Wang, Wenjia Cai, Ryna Yiyun Cui, Lin Huang, Weidong Ma, Binbin Qi, Jia Zhang, Jiang Bian, Haoran Li, Shihui Zhang, Jianxiang Shen, Xian Zhang, Jiutian Zhang, Wei Li, Le Yu, Ning Zhang, Can Wang

“…This study explores how different coal power transition pathways with the same cumulative emissions reductions impact the transition costs, by assessing the dynamic transition processes for coal plants adopting multiple mitigation technologies concurrently or sequentially, such as flexibility operation, biomass and coal co-firing, carbon capture and storage, and compulsory retirement. We develop a plant-level dynamic optimization model and apply it to China’s 4200+ coal plants. …”

Decarbonization and technology cost drivers: considerations for potential future thermoelectric water use in the power sector by Stuart Cohen, Raquel Valdez, Vincent Tidwell, Saroj Khanal, Thushara Gunda

“…Specifically, we evaluate four decarbonization scenarios for the contiguous United States that vary in assumptions concerning demand growth and technology costs, with technology costs driving alternative outcomes that prioritize either technologies that require low amounts of water (such as wind, solar, and battery) or high amounts of water (such as nuclear and carbon capture and storage). These scenarios are executed in a power sector capacity expansion model and compared to two reference scenarios that assume status quo with policy and cost drivers. …”

Potential and costs required for methane removal to compete with BECCS as a mitigation option by Yann Gaucher, Katsumasa Tanaka, Daniel J A Johansson, Olivier Boucher, Philippe Ciais

“…To address this question, we use an intertemporal optimization climate-GHG-energy model to evaluate the MR cost and removal potential thresholds that would allow us to meet a given climate target with the same or a lower abatement cost and allowing for equal or higher gross CO _2 emissions than if CDR through bioenergy with carbon capture and storage were an option. We also compare the effects of MR and CDR on the cost-effective mitigation pathways achieving four different climate targets. …”
