No wonder, this study came out of communist China (elite Tsinghua University)! Massive socialist central planning and dictatorship are needed!
And the once prestigious Nature journal published this nonsense! Just the abstract of this paper contains ideological terms!
"... This goal is referred to as net-zero emissions [???], as it would entail that emissions and removed gases would balance each other out, resulting in zero total greenhouse gas emissions. ..."
From the abstract:
"Achieving global net-zero power systems by mid-century demands integrated frameworks addressing climate mitigation and energy access equity [???].
Here we present a spatio-temporally resolved global power system model (0.25° × 0.25°, 8,760 hours) co-optimizing capacity expansion and operational strategies. Findings show that net-zero global power systems meeting universal electricity needs for decent living standards are technically feasible, requiring 15–20 TW of variable renewable energy (VRE). Abundant VRE resources offer cost-effective electricity access in low-income regions, such as Africa, promoting climate justice [???].
Land use is critical, with solar photovoltaics alone requiring over 9 million hectares. Over 80% of VRE is within 200 km of load centres.
Demand-side management could reduce system costs by 6.5% (∼US$182 billion yr−1).
Expanding international transmission and removing renewable technology trade barriers could cut costs by 5.6% (∼US$157 billion yr−1) and 12.2% (∼US$345 billion yr−1), underscoring the pivotal role of international collaboration in building inclusive net-zero power systems."
