Enterprise AI Analysis
Planning with emission models reduces the carbon footprint of new reservoirs
This analysis presents a novel automated framework that integrates spatially-explicit emission models with explainable AI (xAI) to enhance reservoir planning. Applied to Myanmar's hydropower sector, it reveals significant emission variability missed by simpler methods. The framework facilitates low-carbon dam planning, achieving 0.94 MtCO2e emission reduction, conserving 239 km² of land, and reducing river fragmentation. This approach is crucial for sustainable water-energy futures globally.

0.94 MtCO2e
Annual Emissions Reduced (Myanmar Hydropower)
Low-Carbon Hydropower Strategy for Myanmar
Our framework identified a hydropower strategy for Myanmar that significantly reduces carbon footprint and minimizes environmental impact compared to traditional planning. By prioritizing low-emission sites and run-of-river projects, the strategy yields a substantial 0.94 MtCO2e reduction in annual emissions.
- Conserved Land: 239 km² of forest and arable land preserved.
- Reduced River Fragmentation: Number of barriers in lower river reaches decreased from 28 to 7.
- Emission Intensity: Achieves an average biogenic emission intensity of 3 gCO2e/kWh, comparable to wind/solar.
- Decision Influence: Choice of emission estimation method significantly influences asset selection and optimal dam configurations.
