Abstract:The coal-dominated electricity system, alongside increasing
industrial
electricity demand, places China into a dilemma between industrialization
and environmental impacts. A practical solution is to exploit air
quality and health cobenefits of industrial energy efficiency measures,
which has not yet been integrated into China’s energy transition
strategy. This research examines the pivotal role of industrial electricity
savings in accelerating coal plant retirements and assesses the nexus
of energy-pollution-h… Show more
