  • Seminar on Can Industrial Overcapacity Enable Seasonal Flexibility in Electricity Use?

    Room CB-601J, 6/F, Chow Yei Ching Building, The University of Hong Kong

    Abstract In many countries, declining demand in energy-intensive industries such as cement, steel, and aluminum is leading to industrial overcapacity. Although industrial overcapacity is traditionally envisioned as problematic and resource-wasteful, it could unlock energy-intensive industries' flexibility in electricity use. Here, using China's aluminum smelting industry as a case study, we evaluate the system-level cost-benefit of […]
