The power industry of China plays an important role in reducing the carbon dioxide (CO) and air pollutant emissions. This paper focuses on synergistic CO and air pollution emission reduction by implementing technical and structural measures, and explores the processes aimed at achieving the co-benefits of carbon reduction and air pollution control effectively in the power industry at a local level. The results of the analysis show that the structural measures achieve overall co-benefits, and the technical measures have a good effect in reducing the air pollution, but simultaneously increase CO emissions because of the additional electricity used for running air pollution control devices (APCDs). Based on the analysis of the power generation incremental cost and pollutant emission reduction cost, cost-effective approaches to attain different emission reduction targets are proposed to the power industry in four case regions. These approaches can provide policy makers and stakeholders useful and relevant policy and operation recommendations to reduce CO and air pollution emissions cost-effectively and promote low carbon sustainability in the power industry of China.
中国电力行业在减少二氧化碳（CO）和空气污染物排放方面发挥着重要作用。本文侧重于通过实施技术和结构措施来协同减少 CO 和空气污染排放，并探讨了在地方层面上有效实现电力行业碳减排和空气污染控制协同效益的过程。分析结果表明，结构措施实现了整体协同效益，技术措施在减少空气污染方面效果良好，但由于运行空气污染控制设备（APCDs）所需的额外电力，同时增加了 CO 排放。基于对发电增量成本和污染物减排成本的分析，为四个案例地区的电力行业提出了实现不同减排目标的成本效益方法。这些方法可以为政策制定者和利益相关者提供有用和相关的政策和运营建议，以实现成本效益高的 CO 和空气污染减排，并促进中国电力行业的低碳可持续发展。
