Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollutant emissions from Chinese households: A major and underappreciated ambient pollution source.

TL;DR: It is found that dramatic improvements in air quality in Beijing would benefit substantially from reductions in residential emissions from regional controls in Tianjin and Hebei, indicating the value of policies at the regional level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Challenges faced by China compared with the US in developing wind power

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the relative importance of the key factors accounting for the unsatisfactory performance of Chinese wind farms and provide policy recommendations to limit the wind power output in China.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction of solar photovoltaic resources due to air pollution in China.

TL;DR: PV system performance in northern and eastern China will benefit from improvements in air quality and will facilitate that improvement by providing emission-free electricity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential co-benefits of electrification for air quality, health, and CO2 mitigation in 2030 China

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the air quality, health and climate co-benefits of various end-use electrification scenarios for the vehicle and residential sectors relative to a non-electrified coal-intensive business-as-usual scenario (BAU), and find that coal intensive electrification does not reduce carbon emissions, but can bring significant air quality and health benefits (41,000-57,000 avoided deaths in China annually).
Journal ArticleDOI

Air quality, health, and climate implications of China’s synthetic natural gas development

TL;DR: It is found that allocating currently available SNG to the residential sector provides the largest air quality and health benefits and smallest climate penalties compared with allocation to the power or industrial sectors.
