US Clean Energy Futures—Air Quality Benefits of Zero Carbon Energy Policies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we compare the air quality benefits of a variety future policy scenarios geared towards controlling EGU (electricity generating units) emissions between present-day conditions and 2050. While these policies are motivated by reducing CO2 emissions, they also yield significant co-benefits for criteria pollutants, such as ozone PM2.5. An integrated set clean energy were examined to assess time-varying costs range decarbonization strategies, including business usual Affordable Clean Energy plan, with primary focus on others that look achieve very low, if not zero, from sector Benefits assessed include mitigation greenhouse gas well co-benefits. introductory describe potential changes various policies, stage upcoming work looking at health monetized benefits. Emission key pollutants forecast using Integrated Planning Model (IPM), which then transformed into emission inputs Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ). For all considered large decreases, reductions in PM realized, mainly eastern US, produce

متن کاملAir Quality Impacts and Benefits under U.S. Policy for Air Pollution, Climate Change, and Clean Energy
Policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions can also reduce outdoor levels of air pollutants that harm human health by targeting the same emissions sources. However, the design and scale of these policies can affect the distribution and size of air quality impacts, i.e. who gains from pollution reductions and by how much. Traditional air quality impact analysis seeks to address these question...
متن کاملImpact of US Energy Policy on Crude Oil Prices
The price of Iranian crude oil in different markets depends on the price of US crude oil. In recent months, the oil and gas industry and the sale of Iranian crude oil and the co-operation and investments of oil companies operating in the field of oil field development have halted. Therefore, examining the effects of US government policies on the oil market is very effective. The most important ...
