讲座简介：

Projects discussed will include: Industrial sector: 1) how co-production of steel and chemicals can mitigate hard-to abate carbon emissions; 2) how deploying green hydrogen can help decarbonize China’s coal chemical sector; 3) the benefits of infrastructure symbiosis between coal power and wastewater treatment. Residential sector: 1) how diversifying heat sources in China’s urban district heating systems will reduce the risk of carbon lock-in; 2) the environmental benefits and household costs of clean heating options in rural northern China; 3) how improving building envelope efficiency lowers costs and emissions from rural residential heating in China. Hydrogen: how subsidizing grid-based electrolytic hydrogen will increase GHG emissions in coal dominated power systems. Transport/Power: how alternative energy vehicle deployment delivers climate, air quality and health co-benefits when coupled with decarbonizing power generation in China. Compact urban development (CUD): how CUD can provide climate, energy use, air quality, and human health co-benefits via transport demand reductions.

主讲人简介：

Dr. Denise Mauzerall is the William S. Tod Professor of Environmental Engineering and International Affairs jointly appointed between the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University where she is a core professor in the Center for Policy Research on Energy and Environment. Mauzerall’s research informs the development of far-sighted energy and environmental policy around the world. Her research examines opportunities to simultaneously reduce air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions and evaluates the resulting co-benefits for climate, air quality, public health and food security. Substantial research has focused on interventions in the residential, transport, power, industrial and agricultural sectors in China. Other research has examined the leakage of methane from abandoned oil and gas wells in the U.S. and U.K. which culminated in $4.7billion funding under the bipartisan Infrastructure Law to plug orphaned U.S. wells. Trained as an atmospheric scientist, she collaborates widely with technological, economic, policy, climate, health and agricultural experts. Mauzerall has published over 100 papers on environmental/energy topics in top research journals. She is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and is the co-editor in chief of the new journal Sustainable Horizons.
