Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Although remarkable achievements have been made in environmental governance, many cities are still facing greater pressure of emission reduction and energy conservation. The emissions of air pollutants and CO2 are synchronous and homologous, and are mainly derived from fossil fuel combustion. Saving energy, especially via reducing the use of fossil energy, can achieve integrated prevention and control of air pollution and carbon emission. Reducing the emissions of air pollutants and CO2 is crucial to improving the air quality and high-quality development of the economy.

The focus of this Special Issue, therefore, is to compile the research addressed to the integrated prevention and control of air pollution and carbon emission. The issue will direct attention to the atmospheric pollution, air pollution control, air pollutants emission inventory, climate change, and energy economy.

We invite you to submit novel research studies, as well as review articles, that investigate air pollution and carbon emission, focusing on integrated prevention and control. Studies related to air quality, air pollution control, carbon emission, and emission reduction strategy, as well as policy-related studies, including control strategies for the collaborative reduction of air pollution–carbon emission, are highly welcome. This topic would represent a notable contribution to this important scientific field.

China has started to focus on the reduction in pollutants from diesel vehicles with high emission intensities in recent years. Therefore, it is essential and valuable to conduct a deep and detailed exploration of the reduction potential from diesel vehicles and compare the abatement effect from different control measures in upcoming decades. This study attempted to estimate the present emissions of four conventional pollutants from diesel vehicles by applying the Computer Program to Calculate Emissions from Road Transport (COPERT) model, and to predict the future emission trends under different scenarios during 2019–2030, taking the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region as the case study area. In addition, we analyzed the emission reduction potential of diesel vehicles and compared the reduction effects from different control measures. The results showed that the CO and NOX emissions from diesel vehicles in this region could increase by 104.8% and 83.9%, respectively, given no any additional control measures adopted over the next decade. The largest emission reduction effect could be achieved under the comprehensive scenario, which means that vehicular diesel emissions in 2030 could decrease by 74.8–94.0% compared to values in 2018. The effect of emission reduction under the emission standards’ upgrade scenario could cause a gradual increase and achieve a 19.8–82.6% reduction for the four pollutants in 2030. Furthermore, the new energy vehicle promotion scenario could achieve a considerable reduction effect. It could also offer better emission reduction effects under the highway to railway scenario for Tianjin and Hebei provinces. The old vehicle elimination scenario could have a considerable reduction effect, but only in the short term. Furthermore, emission reductions could be mainly influenced by heavy diesel trucks. These results can provide scientific support to formulate effective reduction measures to diesel vehicles for policy makers. Full article
