The albedo-climate penalty of hydropower reservoirs

Hydropower emits less carbon dioxide than fossil fuels but the lower albedo of hydropower reservoirs compared to terrestrial landscapes results in a positive radiative forcing offsetting some of the negative radiative forcing by hydroelectricity generation. The cumulative effect of this lower albedo...
