This is a special branch of REMIND used in the preprint publication "Multi-level emission impacts under rapid electrification and uncertain coal power phase-out in China’s netzero transition" (v1 on Arxiv under name)
The features in this branch of REMIND contains several modification of Chinese power and industry sector and sectoral assumptions.
- demand side:
- high electrification rate assumption in industry and building (adding markups to processes which use H2 in cement, chemicals or other industry as combustion, adding markdowns to processes which use electricity in high-temperature heat in chemical sector or in other industry sector)
- update REMIND's transport module to be in line with new sales data by lowering inconvenience cost for the Chinese region on BEV, indicating a general fast build-out of EV charging: https://github.com/cchrisgong/edgeTransport/tree/china_mod_merg
- update steel demand for China
- supply side:
- semi-exogenous limit on the growth of biomass use globally to around 70EJ by 2050, in China the biomass use is around 15EJ by 2050
- updated overnight investment cost for coal power plants and coal power with CCS in China to be in line with current data (500$/kW till 2040)
- update recent coal power capacity value to be in line with Ember historical data
- update on nuclear plant capacity factor in China: http://static.sse.com.cn/disclosure/listedinfo/announcement/c/new/2022-04-28/601985_20220428_5_yMPns6pY.pdf
- update lithium battery floor cost
- lower off-shore wind grid cost by 30% to reflect the noticeable preference for coastal provinces to build offshore wind near industrial demand center
- 5 scenarios of coal phase-out speeds, set by exogenous capacity factor and maximum capacity phase-out speed
