Energy storage is not possible in inner mongolia

What is Inner Mongolia's power supply?

Inner Mongolia’s power supply includes a high proportion of coal and a small proportion of renewable energy. Inner Mongolia's power system must gradually withdraw from coal-fired power and improve its renewable energy power generation and storage technology.

Why is Inner Mongolia important to China?

As an important strategic energy base in China, Inner Mongolia's energy exports are dominated by coal and electricity. Under the background of “double carbon” target, the energy transition of Inner Mongolia is of great significance to China's energy security and carbon emission reduction.

Should Inner Mongolia develop CCS technology?

If Inner Mongolia focuses on securing a stable supply of energy in the long term during the energy transition process, it can choose to develop CCS technology, and under this policy scenario, Inner Mongolia's energy supply will remain stable, and its carbon emission will show a downward trend in the long term.

Can Inner Mongolia achieve a low-carbon energy transition?

Therefore, both international experience and the realistic conditions in Inner Mongolia indicate that Inner Mongolia can realize a low-carbon energy transition through phasing out coal and advancing renewable energy development.

How will Inner Mongolia affect China's Energy Security?

If Inner Mongolia focuses on short-term carbon reduction, it can promote energy transition and reduce carbon emission by promoting carbon pricing in the early stage, but this energy transition path will affect China's energy security.

Is a leap-Nemo optimisation possible for Inner Mongolia's power industry?

Conclusions The study established the LEAP-NEMO optimisation of Inner Mongolia’s power industry under carbon emission constraints, considering the ‘renewable energy power generation + energy storage’ model, and set three scenarios to achieve the low-cost carbon peaking and carbon neutralisation target.
