Energy and air pollution benefits of household fuel policies in northern China
Abstract
Impacts of a newly launched rural residential solid fuel substitution campaign in China's Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area on energy, emission, air quality, and exposure reveal that abating solid fuels will significantly reduce ambient and indoor air pollution, resulting in major health benefits. The campaign will help accelerate China's energy transition and reduce PM2.5 emission and exposure. The expected exposure reduction is largely due to improved indoor air quality, resulting in greater benefits to women.
