- 요약The U.S. electricity system is rapidly changing to meet decarbonization goals. However, there is a risk of continuing historical inequities (e.g., air pollution burden disparities) from the current power system into the future. In this dissertation, I quantify sustainability and equality impacts from different decarbonization pathways in the U.S. These analyses show how decarbonization decisions may impact different demographic groups and how different goals of decarbonization may have trade-offs between sustainability outcomes. In Chapter 2, I quantify the air pollution disparities across regions and demographic groups across eight decarbonization scenarios. I tie a capacity expansion model to a reduced complexity air pollution model to capture community level impacts. I provide policy implications given the differences in air pollution disparities across demographics and decarbonization scenarios. This chapter lays a framework for evaluating equality in air pollution impacts given national level decarbonization decisions. In Chapter 3, I evaluate the trade-offs across sustainability criteria for 32 decarbonization outcomes in 2050. I look at economic, environmental, and social sustainability across eleven unique stakeholder preference scenarios. Under social sustainability, I specifically focus on distributional equality criteria. I also discuss the impacts of policies on overall sustainability performance in 2050. In Chapter 4, I evaluate how different spatial resolution and downscaling methodologies, which have been used to estimate air pollution burden across race/ethnicity groups resulting from national level decarbonization decisions, impact the estimated magnitude of burden across groups. I look across four different sensitivities and quantify how the spatial resolution of data will impact outcomes of air pollution burden. This dissertation concludes with policy recommendations and lessons learned from my previous three chapters.
