China’s goal to achieve carbon (C) neutrality by 2060 requires scaling up photovoltaic (PV) and wind power from 1 to 10–15 PWh year−1 (refs. 1,2,3,4,5). Following the historical rates of renewable installation1. .
Ambitions to achieve carbon neutrality are needed in all nations to limit global warming to b. .
We optimized the location, capacity and construction time of new PV and wind power plants each decade during 2021–2060 by minimizing the levelized cost of electricity (LC. .
We estimated the marginal abatement cost (MAC) at the plant level, which varies from −$166 per tCO2 to $106 per tCO2 in 2060 in our optimal path (Fig. 2a). For example, 77% of PV and w. .
We analysed the trade-offs among land requirements, costs and power capacity (Table 1). The capacity of PV and wind power could provide up to 59% of the projected total po. .
Many scenarios meeting the target of carbon neutrality8 rely on retrofitting existing plants with CCS, which may be limited by economic costs1, geological constraints39 an. .
Deploying renewables has been suggested as an effective way to reduce poverty42 by generating revenue from wealthier regions. This impact, however, has not been assessed by a n.

Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible. .
Goals that aim for zero emissions are more complex and expensive than NetZero goals that use negative emissions technologies to achieve a. .
The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply,. .
The intermittency of wind and solar generation and the goal of decarbonizing other sectors through electrification increase the benefit of adopting pricing and load management options that reward all consumers for shifting. .
Lithium-ion batteries are being widely deployed in vehicles, consumer electronics, and more recently, in electricity storage systems. These batteries have, and will.
