Optimal Integration of Offshore Wind Power for a Steadier, Environmentally Friendlier, Supply of Electricity in China
(Elsevier, 2013)
Demand for electricity in China is concentrated to a significant extent in its coastal provinces. Opportunities for production of electricity by on-shore wind facilities are greatest however in the north and west of the ...
Accelerated Reduction in \(SO_2\) Emissions from the U.S. Power Sector Triggered by Changing Prices of Natural Gas
(American Chemical Society, 2012)
Emissions of sulfur dioxide (\(SO_2\)) from the U.S. power sector decreased by 24% in 2009 relative to 2008. The Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) approach was applied to isolate the factors responsible for this decrease. ...
Quantifying the Uncertainties of a Bottom-Up Emission Inventory of Anthropogenic Atmospheric Pollutants in China
(European Geosciences Union, 2011)
The uncertainties of a national, bottom-up inventory of Chinese emissions of anthropogenic \(SO_2\), \(NO_x\), and particulate matter (PM) of different size classes and carbonaceous species are comprehensively quantified, ...
Potential for Wind-Generated Electricity in China
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2009)
Wind offers an important alternative to coal as a source of energy for generation of electricity in China with the potential for substantial savings in carbon dioxide emissions. Wind fields derived from assimilated ...
Variations of \(O_3\) and CO in Summertime at a Rural Site Near Beijing
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2008)
Large intra-season differences in mixing ratios of CO and \(O_3\) were detected at Miyun, a rural site north of Beijing, in summer 2006. Despite an increase in mean daytime mixing ratio of CO from 500 ppbv in June to 700 ...
Ozone Air Quality During the 2008 Beijing Olympics: Effectiveness of Emission Restrictions
(Copernicus Publications, 2009)
A series of aggressive measures was launched by the Chinese government to reduce pollutant emissions from Beijing and surrounding areas during the Olympic Games. Observations at Miyun, a rural site 100 km downwind of the ...
Advantages of a city-scale emission inventory for urban air quality research and policy: the case of Nanjing, a typical industrial city in the Yangtze River Delta, China
(Copernicus GmbH, 2015)
With most eastern Chinese cities facing major air quality challenges, there is a strong need for city-scale emission inventories for use in both chemical transport modeling and the development of pollution control policies. ...
Evaluating the effects of China's pollution controls on inter-annual trends and uncertainties of atmospheric mercury emissions
(Copernicus GmbH, 2015)
China’s anthropogenic emissions of atmospheric mercury (Hg) are effectively constrained by national air pollution control and energy efficiency policies. In this study, improved methods, based on available data from domestic ...
Challenges faced by China compared with the US in developing wind power
(Springer Nature, 2016)
In the 21st Conference of the Parties held in Paris in December 2015, China pledged to peak its carbon emissions and increase non-fossil energy to 20% by 2030 or earlier. Expanding renewable capacity, especially wind power, ...
Recent Changes in Particulate Air Pollution over China Observed from Space and the Ground: Effectiveness of Emission Control
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)
The Chinese government has moved aggressively since 2005 to reduce emissions of a number of pollutants including primary particulate matter (PM) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), efforts inadvertently aided since late 2008 by ...
