Energy Transition and Air Pollution Control in China
ABSTRACT: This talk will present the progress, challenges and perspectives regarding energy transition and air pollution control in China. The State Council of China has recently approved the new 2018-2020 Three-year Action Plan for Winning the Blue Sky War. In this “three-year action plan”, transitions in energy and transportation systems have been particularly emphasized in addition to the implementation of stringent end-of-pipe treatment. This presentation will include deep dives for a few important sectors (e.g., road transportation, residential) to highlight the importance of energy transition and pollution control to the environment, climate and public health.
BIO: Dr. Hao currently serves as Professor at the School of Environment, Dean of Institute of Environmental Science and Engineering, and Director of Tsinghua-Toyota Research Center in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He has been recognized for his ground-breaking work on a suite of emission control strategies to mitigate severe air pollution in China over the past 40 years. Due to his outstanding scientific contributions, Prof. Hao was elected to the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) in 2005 and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) of the United States in 2018. He was awarded the National Award for Progress in Science and Technology three times, the National Natural Science Award once, the National Technological Invention Award once; and he also won the Haagen-Smit Awards (2015) and IBM Global Faculty Award (2016).
