Past studies have applied a similar coupled-model analysis to air quality and RE/EE investments. For example, Wiser et al. (2016) use ReEDS and an integrated assessment model, the Air Pollution Emission Experiments and Policy Analysis model (AP2, formerly APEEP) to show when solar supplies 14% of U.S. electricity in 2030 and 27% in …
examine the effect of air pollution on solar power generation while addressing the potential endogeneity of PM10 using an instrumental variable approach. We find that a 10 mg/m3 increase in PM10 ...
Renewable energy – powering a safer future
Ambient particulate matter is a major health hazard, causing ∼3 million premature deaths annually. It is also widely known that PM affects incoming solar radiation, and hence, it is routinely included in assessments of climate change. It logically follows that PM will also affect solar energy generation, yet there have been only a few local studies …
Air pollution and dust prevail over many regions that have rapid growth of solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation, potentially reducing PV generation. Here we combine solar PV performance modelling with long-term satellite-observation-constrained surface irradiance, aerosol deposition and precipitation rates to provide a global picture of …

Introduction China is facing dual challenges of climate change and air pollution. As the consistently largest CO 2-emitting country in the world since 2006, China was responsible for approximately 33.0% of annual global CO 2 emissions in 2021, more than twice that of the United States, the second largest emitter. 1 Additionally, the annual …
