Water shortage risks for China’s coal power plants under climate change
China is the largest electricity producer in the world and more than 70% of its electricity is from coal-fired power plants where water is an indispensable input, primarily for cooling purposes. Water shortages could hamper coal-fired power plants productions and result in economic losses. In this study, we simulate monthly river flows in China on a 0.5° × 0.5° spatial resolution using a calibrated physically based hydrological model, H08, that i…
Are the Chinese Moving toward a Healthy Diet? Evidence from Macro Data from 1961 to 2017
The change in diet structure is one of the critical features of social transformation, and diet structure is directly related to human health. In China, with rapid economic development, changes in the diet structure of the population have begun and are proceeding at a fairly rapid rate. In order to reveal how the Chinese diet is approaching or deviating from the nutritional goal, a novel index, NDBI (National Dietary Balance Index), is developed …
Drivers of water use in China’s electric power sector from 2000 to 2015
This study, for the first time, investigates the historical changes of the water use in China’s electric power sector on a regional level and quantifies the impacts of four factors that have influenced the remarkable changes: population, power production per capita, power plants’ type and their cooling technology choice. From 2000 to 2015, water withdrawal and consumption in China’s electric power sector, excluding hydropower, have increased from…
