Achieving An 80 Percent Carbon Free Electricity System In China By 2035
New research shows China can accelerate its clean electricity sector decarbonization rate, which would only lead to a 60 percent share of carbon-free electricity generation by 2035. Given the declining costs of wind, solar, and batteries, researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Energy Innovation find reaching 80 percent non-fossil electricity by 2035 in China is cost-effective and maintains electricity reliability with a 10 percent operating reserve margin.
