High costs of capital shape the mitigation effects of renewable energy deployment globally
High costs of capital are a major barrier to renewables deployment in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), impeding decarbonisation efforts despite strong renewable resources. Using grid carbon intensity trajectories, we show that renewable deployment in LMICs has mitigation potentials over 20 times larger per pro...
