Supported by Energy Foundation China, the Asia-Pacific Consulting Center for Environment and Development and the Center for Global Environmental Policy at Beijing Normal University jointly assessed the co-control effects of industrial deep decarbonization and designed co-control roadmaps for China’s iron and steel and cement sectors.

In this report, researchers summarize deep decarbonization measures into five categories—consumption reduction, structural adjustment, raw material/fuel recovery and substitution, energy saving and efficiency improvement, and end-of-pipe decarbonization—before they apply co-control evaluation methodologies and the CGE-CIMS hybrid model to simulate the co-control effects of GHGs and local air pollutants in China’s iron and steel and cement sectors.

The research findings can help practitioners and policymakers form guidelines for co-control effectiveness evaluation and planning, and implement the co-control strategies—not only in the two sectors, but also in other enterprises and industrial sectors.
