Photovoltaic drives 100× carbon reduction and albedo-driven cooling exceeding forestation in climate mitigation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Spatial pattern of carbon-energy synergy/tradeoff for PV (96% synergy) vs. anthropogenic forestation (54.8% tradeoff) in China; PV synergy dominates most regions, while forestation tradeoff spreads across aridity gradients.
