• #### Accelerated Reduction in $SO_2$ Emissions from the U.S. Power Sector Triggered by Changing Prices of Natural Gas ﻿

(American Chemical Society, 2012)
Emissions of sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$) from the U.S. power sector decreased by 24% in 2009 relative to 2008. The Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) approach was applied to isolate the factors responsible for this decrease. ...
• #### Additionality of Wind Energy Investments in the U.S. Voluntary Green Power Market ﻿

(Elsevier, 2014)
In the United States, electricity consumers are told that they can “buy” electricity from renewable energy projects, versus fossil fuel-fired facilities, through participation in voluntary green power markets. The marketing ...
• #### Challenges faced by China compared with the US in developing wind power ﻿

(Springer Nature, 2016)
In the 21st Conference of the Parties held in Paris in December 2015, China pledged to peak its carbon emissions and increase non-fossil energy to 20% by 2030 or earlier. Expanding renewable capacity, especially wind power, ...
• #### Costs for Integrating Wind into the Future ERCOT System with Related Costs for Savings in $CO_2$ Emissions ﻿

(American Chemical Society, 2011)
Wind power can make an important contribution to the goal of reducing emissions of $CO_2$. The major problem relates to the intrinsic variability of the source and the difficulty of reconciling the supply of electricity ...
• #### Global Potential for Wind-Generated Electricity ﻿

The potential of wind power as a global source of electricity is assessed by using winds derived through assimilation of data from a variety of meteorological sources. The analysis indicates that a network of land-based ...
• #### Implications of the Recent Reductions in Natural Gas Prices for Emissions of $CO_2$ from the US Power Sector ﻿

(American Chemical Society, 2012)
$CO_2$ emissions from the US power sector decreased by 8.76% in 2009 relative to 2008 contributing to a decrease over this period of 6.59% in overall US emissions of greenhouse gases. An econometric model, tuned to data ...
• #### Meteorologically Defined Limits to Reduction in the Variability of Outputs from a Coupled Wind Farm System in the Central US ﻿

(Elsevier, 2013-08-26)
Studies suggest that onshore wind resources in the contiguous US could readily accommodate present and anticipated future US demand for electricity. The problem with the output from a single wind farm located in any ...
• #### Opportunity for Offshore Wind to Reduce Future Demand for Coal-Fired Power Plants in China with Consequent Savings in Emissions of CO 2 ﻿

(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014)
Although capacity credits for wind power have been embodied in power systems in the U.S. and Europe, the current planning framework for electricity in China continues to treat wind power as a nondispatchable source with ...
• #### Optimal Integration of Offshore Wind Power for a Steadier, Environmentally Friendlier, Supply of Electricity in China ﻿

(Elsevier, 2013)
Demand for electricity in China is concentrated to a significant extent in its coastal provinces. Opportunities for production of electricity by on-shore wind facilities are greatest however in the north and west of the ...
• #### Potential for Wind-Generated Electricity in China ﻿

(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2009)
Wind offers an important alternative to coal as a source of energy for generation of electricity in China with the potential for substantial savings in carbon dioxide emissions. Wind fields derived from assimilated ...
• #### Prospects for shale gas production in China: Implications for water demand ﻿

(Elsevier BV, 2016)
Development of shale gas resources is expected to play an important role in China's projected transition to a low-carbon energy future. The question arises whether the availability of water could limit this development. ...
