“…SO 2 emissions from burning coal account for a very high percentage of the total SO 2 emissions. Du et al [32] analyze the synergistic effect of SO 2 emissions and CO 2 emissions at coal-fired power plants in China. Their study shows that the coal-fired power industry is key to achieving synergistic reduction of SO 2 emissions and CO 2 emissions.…”

“…However, such synergistic effect may only happen initially. If all the power industries switch away from coal and use non-coal sources, the synergistic effect may not happen in the future (the synergistic effect is not guaranteed; it depends on the type of policy employed [32]). It should also be noted that the synergistic effect between SO 2 and CO 2 can lead to overlaps between the policies targeting sulfur and carbon [20].…”

As China has an important role in global climate change, the Chinese government has set goals to improve its environmental efficiency and performance and launched carbon emission trading pilot markets in 2013, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions. Based on panel data of 30 provinces from 2005 to 2017, this paper uses the difference-in-difference method to study the impact of China’s carbon emission trading pilot markets on carbon emissions and regional green development. The paper also explores possible influencing channels. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) China’s carbon emission trading policy has promoted a reduction in CO2 emissions and carbon emission intensity and has increased green development in the pilot areas. (2) The main path for China’s carbon emission trading policy to achieve carbon emission reduction and regional green development is to promote technology adoption. (3) China’s carbon emission trading policy achieves green development through synergistic SO2 emission reduction. The pilot carbon markets have reduced both the amount of SO2 emissions and SO2 emission intensity.

Advanced filtration technologies of the high‐temperature flue gas are crucial for lower emission of dust particles and higher heat recovery. An efficient and continuous filter for high‐temperature flue gas based on a self‐cleaning stainless steel fabric is proposed in this article. Analysis of the microstructure of stainless steel fabric is conducted and derived the optimal structural parameters of the fabric. Considering uniformity of flow field, the structure of filter bag and arrangement of bags of the filter are optimized. Based on the optimal condition, single‐bag experiments are conducted, which show that the filtration efficiency and pressure drop got stabilized (i.e., 99.8% and 1222 Pa) with enough operation time and only affected by filtration superficial velocity. The dust cake structure could reach dynamic self‐equilibrium in the overall structure, verifying that self‐cleaning can be achieved applying stainless steel fabric. A pilot‐scale high‐temperature flue gas system is set up and the results indicate that the filtration efficiency reaches stable and maintains above 99.9% with 1440 h of uninterrupted service at 793 ~ 809°C, and the outlet dust concentration of flue gas is less than 8.3 mg/m3.

The electric power systems are in a transition to forms of generation that achieve cleaner production. In this regard, a new multi-objective model that helps with the problem of cleaner production investments is presented. The model can obtain convenient solutions where actors with opposed interests are participating. The novelty is the model considers more points of view than the classical approaches of the literature, which only consider a maximum of two actors involved in this field (the new model considers investment costs, greenhouse emissions, and operating costs).Another key contribution is that the real procedures of the generation and transmission stages and the dependences between electrical-natural gas systems are carefully represented and included in the model. It allows obtaining solutions in concordance with the real conditions. The model is applied to the energy system of Argentina by using an epsilon-constraint approach and Mixed Integer Linear Programming formulations. The test system supplies electricity to over 40 million people and neighboring countries. Besides, there is interdependency with the Argentinean Natural Gas system that operates in one of the most extended territories in Latin America. Results indicate that the solutions that are more convenient for all actors represent a mix between renewables and non-renewables technologies. Consequently, this proposal is differentiated from other ones that only consider the expansion concerning renewables technologies. The study reveals decreases in emissions up to 39% and the reduction in production costs up to 12% in comparison with the solution without investments.
