Your electricity bill may go up soon. China will firmly control energy-hungry and high-emission projects to improve the country's "dual control system" on energy consumption and energy intensity, the National Development and Reform Commission(NDRC) said in a recently issued plan released on Thursd...
The effectiveness of emission control to reduce PM2.5 pollution during winter haze episodes under potential synoptic controls is simulated by GEOS-Chem model. Among the 10 identified synoptic patterns, four types account for 87 % of the total pollution days. Two typical synoptic modes are ...
As a large developing country in geographic area and population, China has experienced rapid economic development over the past few decades. However, it has also faced social problems and environmental challenges while striving for rapid economic development24,27,28. For example, climate change has ...
China’s carbon peak greatly impacts global climate targets. Limited studies have comprehensively analyzed the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, changing emission network, and recent carbon intensity (CI) reduction on the carbon peak and the correspond
China building energy use and carbon emission yearbook 2021: A Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality by 2060. Singapore: Springer Nature Singapore, 2022. Book Google Scholar Huo T, Li X, Cai W, et al. (2020). Exploring the impact of urbanization on urban building carbon emissions in China: ...
The coking enterprises in the city have all met the special emission limit standards for environmental protection. In an effort to ensure the clustering development and strict environmental protection control, Lvliang has built three 10 million-ton coal chemical bases and...
The area of concern is divided into i× j grid cells whose size is chosen for any likely trajectory segment endpoint to fall in. The PSCF value for the ij-th cell is defined as PSCFij = mij/nij, where nij is the total number of endpoints that fall in the ij-th cell and mij is...
At the same time, stringent environmental regulations will cause the additional cost of equipment, such as the purchase of emission control devices. This leads to a decrease in productivity and profits, which facilitate the industrial transfer. Thus, pollution-intensive industries tend to transfer to...
(i.e., lower than 0.1% of power shortage), long-term energy storage would play a more important role than abated fossil fuel power generation involving CCUS, as shown by the larger area towards the right-upper corner representing the same power shortage level in Supplementary Fig.6athan Fig...
The Chinese government has set long-term carbon neutrality and renewable energy (RE) development goals for the power sector. Despite a precipitous decline in the costs of RE technologies, the external costs of renewable intermittency and the massive inve
