Coal phase-out pledges follow peak coal: evidence from 60 years of growth and decline in coal power capacity worldwide
Lægreid, Ole Martin; Cherp, Aleh; Jewell, Jessica (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Transitioning to net-zero carbon emissions requires phasing-out unabated coal power; however, recently it has only been declining in some countries, while it stagnated or even increased in others. Where and under what ... -
Failing the formative phase: The global diffusion of nuclear power is limited by national markets
Brutschin, Elina; Cherp, Aleh; Jewell, Jessica (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Understanding the role of technology characteristics and the context in the diffusion of new energy technologies is important for assessing feasibility of climate mitigation. We examine the historical adoption of nuclear ... -
Historical precedents and feasibility of rapid coal and gas decline required for the 1.5°C target
Vinichenko, Vadim; Cherp, Aleh; Jewell, Jessica (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A major challenge in combatting climate change is stopping the use of fossil fuels such as coal in electricity generation. This is particularly challenging in Asia—the largest global region with rapidly growing electricity ... -
Liquefied natural gas expansion plans in Germany: The risk of gas lock-in under energy transitions
Brauers, Hanna; Braunger, Isabell; Jewell, Jessica (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The German energy transition has been hailed as a role model for climate action. However, plans for the construction of three large-scale Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminals are receiving strong state support. ... -
Meeting well-below 2°C target would increase energy sector jobs globally
Pai, Sandeep; Emmerling, Johannes; Drouet, Laurent; Zerriffi, Hisham; Jewell, Jessica (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To keep global warming well-below 2°C, fossil fuels need to dramatically decline and be replaced by low-carbon energy sources. While the technologies to replace fossil fuels are widely available, support for their expansion ... -
On the political feasibility of climate change mitigation pathways: Is it too late to keep warming below 1.5° C?
Jewell, Jessica; Cherp, Aleh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Keeping global warming below 1.5°C is technically possible but is it politically feasible? Understanding political feasibility requires answering three questions: (a) “Feasibility of what?,” (b) “Feasibility when and ... -
Pathway to a land-neutral expansion of Brazilian renewable fuel production
Ramirez Camargo, Luis; Castro, Gabriel; Gruber, Katharina; Jewell, Jessica; Klingler, Michael; Turkovska, Olga; Wetterlund, Elisabeth; Schmidt, Johannes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Biofuels are currently the only available bulk renewable fuel. They have, however, limited expansion potential due to high land requirements and associated risks for biodiversity, food security, and land conflicts. We ... -
Solar has greater techno-economic resource suitability than wind for replacing coal mining jobs
Pai, Sandeep; Zerriffi, Hisham; Jewell, Jessica; Pathak, Jaivik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-06)Coal mining directly employs over 7 million workers and benefits millions more through indirect jobs. However, to meet the 1.5 °C global climate target, coal's share in global energy supply should decline between 73% and ...
