Synergetic Abatement of Carbon Emissions and Air Pollution in China

Abstract:

China needs to deal with climate change and air pollution. Both of them result from burning of fossil fuel. The Possible-Satisfiablity model is used to calculate optimum carbon emissions restrained by climate change and air pollution. The highest coordinate is (17.33, 0.41) in the P-S degree curves calculated under the restriction of climate change; while the highest coordinate is (10.84, 0.33) in the P-S degree curves under the restriction of environment. Environmental restriction on energy consumption and CO₂ emissions is much stricter than the restriction of climate change.
