Fig. 4: The generation mix in China under different carbon emission target scenarios.
From: Cost increase in the electricity supply to achieve carbon neutrality in China
a Comparison of the capacity mix between different carbon emission scenarios and the current status in 2020. Thirteen generation technologies are shown including hydro, utility photovoltaics (PV), distributed PV, onshore wind, offshore wind, nuclear, biomass power, concentrated solar power (CSP), coal power, gas power, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) units. CCS units include coal CCS, gas CCS, and biomass CCS. Two energy storage systems (ESSs) are shown including pumped hydro storage (PHS) and battery energy storage system (BESS). b Energy generated and lost by corresponding devices in 2050 under different scenarios and the current status in 2020.
