Near-surface ozone pollution, associated with complex responses to changing precursor emissions and meteorological conditions, has become one of the biggest challenges in China’s air quality management. Here, we present the spatiotemporal evolution of...

Demands for electricity and energy to supply heat are expected to expand by 71% and 47%, respectively, for Beijing in 2020 relative to 2009. If the additional electricity and heat are supplied solely by coal as is the current situation, annual emissions...

China’s CO₂ emissions have sharply increased in recent years with soaring economic development and urbanization. Consumption-based accounting of CO₂ emissions could provide new insights for allocating regional mitigation responsibility and curbing the...

To examine the effects of China’s national policies of energy conservation and emission control during 2005–2010, inter-annual emission trends of gaseous pollutants, primary aerosols, and CO2 are estimated with a bottom-up framework. The control measures...
