Rate and growth limits for carbon capture and storage
CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) in geological reservoirs is expected to play a large role in low-emissions scenarios from multi-sector human Earth system models. Yet these scenarios have often projected near-term CCS deployments that far exceed what is currently planned, l et al one operational. They have also failed to consider regional differences in capacity to deploy large-scale CO 2 capture, transport, and subsurface injection. Here, we updat…
Assessing innovation in the nascent value chains of climate-mitigating technologies
Accelerating climate-mitigating technology, or climate-tech, innovation in the formative phase of the technology life cycle is crucial to meeting climate policy goals. During this period, firms create value across a broad set of products related to hardware, software, and services. We conceptualize this as a nascent value chain , operationalize this concept by identifying a set of product clusters, and explore the patterns of innovation within an…
Old homes, new inequities
Alternative household water affordability metrics using water bill delinquency behavior
Rising water prices threaten affordable access to basic water service in the U.S., especially in low-income communities. Faced with unaffordable water bills, households may use less water than is healthy, forgo other essential services, or fall behind on water bill payments, risking water shutoffs. Affordability ratios (ARs), which express water bills as a fraction of income, are the most common measure of water affordability. However, ARs can un…
Characterizing multi-pollutant emission impacts of sulfur reduction strategies from coal power plants
Fuel combustion for electricity generation emits a mix of health- and climate-relevant air emissions, with the potential for technology or fuel switching to impact multiple emissions together. While there has been extensive research on the co-benefits of climate policies on air quality improvements, few studies have quantified the effect of air pollution controls on carbon emissions. Here we evaluate three multi-pollutant emission reduction strat…
Quantifying the regional stranded asset risks from new coal plants under 1.5 °C
Momentum to phase out unabated coal use is growing globally. This transition is critical to meeting the Paris climate goals but can potentially lead to large amounts of stranded assets, especially in regions with newer and growing coal fleets. Here we combine plant-level data with a global integrated assessment model to quantify changes in global stranded asset risks from coal-fired power plants across regions and over time. With new plant propos…
Research priorities for supporting subnational climate policies
Growing momentum for decentralized climate policy and the falling costs of low‐carbon technologies are creating new climate change mitigation opportunities for subnational actors. Here we discuss how research can best support these subnational efforts to allow limited resources to stretch further. To stimulate this discussion, we identify four research priorities. (1) Innovation mechanisms examines local policy opportunities for technology improv…
