In 2022, Energy Foundation China supported Tsinghua University to research on a 2025 co-control strategy for air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions in Hebei, a northern China manufacturing province that has suffered from air pollution. Their findings were summarized in this report in December 2022.

The report analyzes emission behavior of criteria air pollutants and greenhouse gases in Hebei during 2016 to 2020, collects the province’s pollution and carbon policies at that time, and evaluates their costs and effects. After that, the report proposes an co-control strategy for the 14th Five-Year Plan period of 2021 to 2025 based on a scenario analysis.

The authors of the report hope their findings can be helpful to Hebei, as it tries to mitigate air pollution and carbon emissions, achieve high-quality economic development, and clean the environment at the same time.
