“…In larger families, more people were exposed than in smaller families, so respondents with larger family sizes had higher risk perceptions and higher willingness to protect themselves [ 37 , 38 ]. The number of children in a family was positively correlated with self-protection willingness [ 39 ]. Considering that in traditional Chinese families, a larger family size often means more susceptible groups, such as the elderly and children, in the family, the adults were often more willing to provide a healthy environment for the elderly and children.…”

To improve household air quality, the Chinese government has launched a number of pilot stove renovation projects, but few studies have explored the impact of the project on people’s perception of and willingness to participate in these renovations; moreover, factors affecting willingness to pay for the project in rural China are not yet clear. We conducted a field measurement and a corresponding door-to-door questionnaire survey using the renovated group and the unrenovated group. The results showed that (1) the stove renovation project could not only reduce PM2.5 exposure and the excess mortality risk of rural residents, but also (2) improve residents’ risk perception and self-protective willingness. (3) Specifically, the project had a deeper impact on female and low-income residents. (4) Meanwhile, the higher the income and the larger family size, the higher the risk perception and self-protective willingness. (5) Furthermore, willingness to pay for the project was related with residents’ support for the project, benefit from renovation, income, and family size. Our results recommended that stove renovation policies should pay more attention to families with lower income and smaller size.

“…It is illustrated that the heat load reaches the peak from December to February of the following year. Besides, during the beginning and ending period of the heating season, the heat load is relatively low, as indicated in the blue box in the figure . , = , , ≤ , (7) where Qequ,i is the actual heating power for the i-th piece of equipment, Quser,h is the heating load, and Qequ,c is the rated heating power of the i-th piece of equipment.…”

“…Among them, buildings' energy consumption accounts for over one third of the total energy consumption in China, which results in a serious haze of pollution in the heating season [3][4][5][6]. Despite how some plans, the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, for instance, proposed by the Chinese government, have contributed to a fossil fuel reduction in central heating to some extent, the consumption of scattered coal in rural areas should not be ignored, as it accounts for a large proportion of pollutant emissions in the heating season [7][8][9]. It is reported that rural households consumed approximately 110 million tons of raw coal in 2018 in China [10].…”

Combining various sources to create a complementary system plays a key role in utilizing clean energy sources economically and mitigating air pollution during the heating season in Northern China. However, there is a lack of unified and reasonable design methods for such systems, resulting in the excessive capacity of equipment and the waste of energy. In this work, a unified design method is proposed to solve this problem. A generalized structure and its mathematical model are firstly established, enabling transient simulations on the TRNSYS platform. Then, a preliminary screening criterion for the system composition a general operation strategy is proposed. Finally, the system configuration is optimized by using the genetic algorithm. The method is successfully applied in a demonstration project in China. The results show that the coupling system consisting of a biomass boiler (384 kW), an air-source heat pump (430 kW) and a ground-source heat pump (369 kW) is the most economical, and the annual cost is 26.7% lower than that of a single-equipment system. Additionally, the sensitive factors that strongly affect the optimization results are explored. The establishment of the generalized structure and its mathematical model enables the quick calculation and convenient comparison of various schemes, and simplifies the complicated optimization problem of the capacity optimization of each piece of equipment. The proposed design method can reduce the annual cost to a minimum value, and thus it provides a theoretical basis for the large-scale application of clean energy sources for heating.

“…At the Climate Ambition Summit, the Chinese government further proposed that "by 2030, the total installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach more than 1.2 billion kw". As one of the renewable energy technologies, photovoltaic power generation has the role of promoting green energy transformation, protecting the ecological environment, and mitigating climate change, and it is an important way for China to realize the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality [ 6 ]. On the other hand, there is a need to explore ways to use clean energy from a public perspective, and a fundamental solution is to increase the ability and willingness of the 1.4 billion population to pay more to reduce carbon emissions [ 7 ].…”

“…In recent 20 years, China has made great achievements in optimizing energy structure and developing clean energy [ 4 ]. However, these energy structure adjustment measures may lead to high energy prices or introduce additional costs for installing new equipment [ 6 ], potentially increasing the extra cost of enterprises and consumers [ 10 ]. Therefore, the successful promotion and adoption of photovoltaic power generation largely depends on the public’s recognition and cooperation, especially how much the public is willing to pay for the adoption of photovoltaic power generation [ 11 ].…”

Adoption of clean electric energy depends not only on administrative regulations, but also on public support, in particular, the public is willing to pay for environmental improvements. However, the increase of solar photovoltaic power generation willingness to pay (WTP) associated with higher education attainment and the identification of their causality has been missing. Present paper used the enactment of the Compulsory Schooling Law as an instrumental variable to solve the causal relationship between education and willingness to pay for photovoltaic power generation. The results are as follows:Heckman two-stage model and instrumental variable both confirmed that higher education has a positive impact on WTP for solar photovoltaic power generation. For each level of public education in the east, the WTP of photovoltaic power generation will increase by 7.540 CNY, 8.343 CNY and 8.343 CNY respectively, the central public will increase by 9.637 CNY, 10.775 CNY and 11.758 CNY, and the western public will increase by 12.723 CNY, 15.740 CNY and 17.993 CNY respectively. The positive influence of education level is smaller among the people who know the ladder price better, but it is bigger among the people who are male, older than 45 years old, healthier, higher income and stronger awareness of safe electricity use. The total socio-economic value of photovoltaic power generation is significantly different in eastern, central and western region China.
