Role of technologies in energy-related CO2 mitigation in China within a climate-protection world: A scenarios analysis using REMIND

- The augmented REMIND model is used to study the role of energy technologies under a carbon tax.
- The scale and timing of fossil fuels with CCS, nuclear, and renewables are examined.
- CCS is important but the window of opportunity for its deployment is limited.
- The effectiveness of nuclear is strongly linked to its cost performance.
- Renewable energy is a long-term mitigation option.
