Coal mine workers in the climate transition: subnational vulnerability disparities in China and India Coal mine workers in the climate transition: subnational vulnerability disparities in China and India, Danneaux, Augustin, Le Gallic, Thomas, Lefèvre, Julien, Vishwanathan, Saritha Sudharmma, He, Gang

I’m very happy that my first PhD paper is now published in open access in ERL.
With my coauthors @thomaslegallic.bsky.social , @jlnlefevre.bsky.social , Saritha Vishwanathan & @hegang.bsky.social we ask:
- What becomes of coal workers as the world decarbonise?

Renewable integration and AI demand reshaped power grids in 2025 - Nature Reviews Clean Technology The importance of renewable integration into grids came to the forefront in 2025. New challenges in stability, storage, artificial intelligence demand and policy changes defined a year that tested whether power systems can become reliable, flexible and equitable in a net-zero world.

From our year in review: Renewable integration and AI demand reshaped power grids in 2025

Dawn of clean energy age!

🌱 New review shows how rapid clean energy build-out and rising digital power demand are reshaping electricity infrastructure and strategy worldwide. Congrats to Professor He! 👏

New study reveals that solar panels are preventing premature deaths across the US: 'Their broader societal benefits are underexplored' Analysis of a decade's worth of data found that imported panels saved just under 600 lives and provided nearly $30 million in climate and health benefits.

"Global supply chains have helped make solar power affordable,” said Prof. @hegang.bsky.social. “But what's often missed is how these imports also clean the air, protect health, and reduce climate damages" www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/i... @eesgccuny.bsky.social

These benefits extended beyond the importing states, with over 40% of air quality gains flowing to people elsewhere—residents in non-importing states also benefited from them.

Policy decisions about trade and supply chains must consider these broader societal impacts—not just economic metrics.

Our study shows that global clean energy supply chains don’t just cut costs—they deliver wide-reaching social environmental benefits: cleaner air, healthier communities, and emission mitigation toward decarbonization.

Key insights: Between our study period 2014–2022, imported solar photovoltaics
✅ Displaced 305 TWh of fossil fuel electricity
✅ Avoided 178 million tons of CO₂ emissions
✅ Prevented 595 premature deaths
✅ Delivered $28 billion in combined health and climate benefits ($180/kW annualized benefits)

We analyzed detailed PV shipment and power plant data across the U.S., using a reduced-complexity air quality model to track how solar energy displaced fossil fuels and improved air quality in different regions.

China reins in the spiralling construction costs of nuclear power — what can other countries learn? Strengthening regulations and domestic supply chains could be key to making nuclear power more economically viable.

🌍 As the world turns to nuclear energy to meet rising demand, cost remains the biggest barrier. A new @nature.com commentary by #MarxeFaculty @hegang.bsky.social and colleagues shows how China is driving costs down—defying global trends.

Congrats to @shangwei-liu.bsky.social‬, @hegang.bsky.social, Minghao Qin, and @dankammen.bsky.social on this timely research!

In this paper out in @nature.com, we documented a surprising trend in nuclear power plant construction costs: China and South Korea showed declines in the cost over time, showing potential for breaking the 'cost curse' of nuclear power.
