“…To identify areas suitable for onshore turbine siting, we filter data based on land use type, nature reservation areas, the distance to urban, slope, and annual utilization hours. Based on government polices [24,25] and turbine siting's suitability, each land cover type is assigned a maximum utilization coefficient (Table 3) [11,21]. The land cover type data is obtained from Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), with a spatial resolution of 1 km [26].…”

“…According to the available area of wind turbine sites and considering the actual situation of mountainous and plain terrain, this paper sets the distance between onshore turbines to be 3 D × 10 D, where D refers to the diameter of fan impeller (by consulting the Goldwind Technology Co., Ltd.). Considering factors such as reserving 20% of sea area as wind speed recovery zone and the wake being larger than that on land, this paper sets the distance between offshore turbines to be 5 D × 10 D [21,33].…”

Decarbonization of the energy system is the key to China’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. However, the potential of wind and photovoltaic (PV) to power China remains unclear, hindering the holistic layout of the renewable energy development plan. Here, we used the wind and PV power generation potential assessment system based on the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) method to investigate the wind and PV power generation potential in China. Firstly, the high spatial-temporal resolution climate data and the mainstream wind turbines and PV modules, were used to assess the theoretical wind and PV power generation. Then, the technical, policy and economic (i.e., theoretical power generation) constraints for wind and PV energy development were comprehensively considered to evaluate the wind and solar PV power generation potential of China in 2020. The results showed that, under the current technological level, the wind and PV installed capacity potential of China is about 56.55 billion kW, which is approximately 9 times of those required under the carbon neutral scenario. The wind and PV power generation potential of China is about 95.84 PWh, which is approximately 13 times the electricity demand of China in 2020. The rich areas of wind power generation are mainly distributed in the western, northern, and coastal provinces of China. While the rich areas of PV power generation are mainly distributed in western and northern China. Besides, the degree of tapping wind and PV potential in China is not high, and the installed capacity of most provinces in China accounted for no more than 1% of the capacity potential, especially in the wind and PV potential-rich areas.

“…Renewable energy sources improve environmental quality; nevertheless, their use in Bangladesh for electricity production is as low as 1%, which is insufficient to reduce carbon emissions (Murshed et al 2021 ). Another study conducted in China found that wind and solar capacity of 2495 and 2674 GW can meet 67% of China’s total energy consumption in 2050, respectively (Liu et al 2022a ). Additionally, the analysis revealed that supplying 10.4 PWh of renewable energy annually would result in a reduction of 2.08 Mt SO 2 and 1.97 Mt NO x , bringing the country closer to meeting its carbon neutrality targets.…”

The increasing global industrialization and over-exploitation of fossil fuels has induced the release of greenhouse gases, leading to an increase in global temperature and causing environmental issues. There is therefore an urgent necessity to reach net-zero carbon emissions. Only 4.5% of countries have achieved carbon neutrality, and most countries are still planning to do so by 2050–2070. Moreover, synergies between different countries have hampered synergies between adaptation and mitigation policies, as well as their co-benefits. Here, we present a strategy to reach a carbon neutral economy by examining the outcome goals of the 26th summit of the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 26). Methods have been designed for mapping carbon emissions, such as input–output models, spatial systems, geographic information system maps, light detection and ranging techniques, and logarithmic mean divisia. We present decarbonization technologies and initiatives, and negative emissions technologies, and we discuss carbon trading and carbon tax. We propose plans for carbon neutrality such as shifting away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy, and the development of low-carbon technologies, low-carbon agriculture, changing dietary habits and increasing the value of food and agricultural waste. Developing resilient buildings and cities, introducing decentralized energy systems, and the electrification of the transportation sector is also necessary. We also review the life cycle analysis of carbon neutral systems.

Lithium metal is a possible anode material for building high energy density secondary batteries, but its problems during cycling have hindered the commercialization of lithium metal secondary batteries. Until now, many sophisticated techniques have been used to obtain rich micro‐morphological and physicochemical information of the deposition layer and the solid electrolyte interface (SEI), and to develop improvement strategies based on the information and achieve remarkable results. Regulating the reaction process around key links is a classic strategy to achieve expected results. Based on this empirical fact, we artificially highlighted the differences in the apparent performance of lithium metal anode using different series of electrolytes. We used microelectrode technology to analyze the reaction mechanisms and kinetic characteristics of each elementary step under all electrolyte conditions, revealing common laws that affect apparent performance and the basic steps that have a decisive impact on apparent performance. We discussed and elucidated the relevant physical and chemical principles, providing a clear basis for improving the pertinence and efficiency of improvement strategies.
