The hydrogen economy can reduce costs of climate change mitigation by up to 22%
Publication
A new study published by researchers at the Joint Global Change Research Institute and KAIST Graduate School of Green Growth & Sustainability has revealed that the hydrogen economy has the potential to significantly reduce the costs associated with mitigating climate change. The study shows that incorporating hydrogen into the global energy system could decrease climate change mitigation costs by up to 22% by mid-century.
Integrated assessment modeling of a zero-emissions global transportation sector
Publication
A new study proposes ways to cut global transportation emissions, a key area for mitigating climate change. The transportation sector is responsible for 20% of global carbon emissions, with aviation and maritime being especially challenging to mitigate due to limited clean technology options.
Ambitious efforts on residual emissions can reduce CO2 removal and lower peak temperatures in a Net-Zero future
Publication
According to the research findings, to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions within the global carbon limit, greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity, buildings, industry, energy supply, and transportation sectors must be significantly reduced compared to 2015 levels.
Modeling direct air carbon capture and storage in a 1.5°C climate future using historical analogues
Publication
A new paper presents a novel modeling approach to predict the adoption of carbon dioxide removal technologies like DACCS, outlining their potential impacts on meeting the 1.5°C global temperature target and influencing climate policy effectiveness.
Helping the climate by replacing liquefied natural gas with liquefied hydrogen or ammonia?
Publication
In a new paper published in Environmental Research Letters, an international team of researchers conducted an in-depth analysis of the potential environmental impact of substituting LNG with LH2 or LNH3, particularly in the context of low-carbon futures.
Equity Implications of Net-Zero Emissions: A Multi-Model Analysis of Energy Expenditures Across Income Classes Under Economy-Wide Deep Decarbonization Policies
Publication
Achieving net-zero emissions will have heterogeneous impacts on different income groups. The design of policies impacts the pricing of carbon-intensive goods and consumer behavior, leading to changes in household welfare and emissions.
