The potential effects of the following alternative policy<br \/>\noptions are examined: energy efficiency, favorably imported generation fuels, nuclear energy,<br \/>\nrenewable energy, and an internalized positive carbon value. The baseline in terms of cumulative<br \/>\nCO2 emissions over 2010-2030 is 3.6 Gt. Lighting energy efficiency improvements offers 14% of<br \/>\nno-regret abatement of CO2 emissions. Developing nuclear and renewable energy could help meet<br \/>\nthe challenges of the increases in electricity demand, the dependence on imported fuels for<br \/>\nelectricity generation in the context of carbon constraints applied in a developing country. When<br \/>\nCO2 costs increase from 1 $\/t to 30 $\/t, building 10 GW of nuclear generation capacity implies an<br \/>\nincrease in abatement levels from 24% to 46%. Using renewable energy abates CO2 levels by<br \/>\nbetween 14% and 46%. At 2 $\/tCO2, the model predicts an abatement of 0.77 Gt from using wind<br \/>\npower at prime locations as well as energy from small hydro, wood residue and wood plantations,<br \/>\nsuggesting Clean Development Mechanism opportunities. At 10 $\/t CO2, the model predicts an<br \/>\nabatement of 1.4 Gt when efficient gas plants are substituted for coal generation and when the<br \/>\npotential for wind energy is economically developed further than in the former model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","cate_publications":[],"author_publications":[1740],"topic_publications":[],"class_list":["post-9006","publications","type-publications","status-publish","hentry","author_publications-nhan-t-nguyen-and-minh-ha-duong"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications\/9006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publications"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cate_publications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cate_publications?post=9006"},{"taxonomy":"author_publications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_publications?post=9006"},{"taxonomy":"topic_publications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic_publications?post=9006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
