Welcome to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).
We are an independent research organisation focused on revealing the trends, causes, and health impacts, as well as the solutions to air pollution.
Health-harming pollutants from burning fossil fuels are responsible for at least 3 million air pollution deaths per year. However, rapid advances in modern, clean energy technologies are a key opportunity to improve air quality and protect public health.
We use scientific data, research and evidence to support the efforts of governments, companies and campaigning organizations worldwide in their efforts to move towards clean energy and clean air. We believe that effective research and communication are the key to successful policies, investment decisions and advocacy efforts.

Financing Putin’s war on Europe:
Fossil fuel imports from Russia during the invasion of Ukraine
April 28, 2022
CREA is looking to expand its team, if you are passionate about fighting climate change through data, tracking pollution and supporting organisations to enable the energy transition please consider applying for one of the following jobs.
We will be sharing detailed results from the new model soon. Next week, three months will have passed since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and we are working on a new analysis of fossil fuel exports from Russia in that period.
We have developed a new model to break down pipeline gas imports from Russia by country on day-to-day basis. This model is based on physical flows, which can differ from financial transactions, but it allows us to track where Russian gas ends up in Europe.

The correction to the data meant that our estimate of the value of the EU's fossil fuel imports from Russia in the first two months of the war fell from EUR 44 bln to EUR 39 bln. We've updated the materials on our site and apologize for the errors.

CORRECTION: We took our Russia fossil fuel imports counter down last week when we discovered problems in our data on pipeline gas imports into the EU. These have been corrected. We have also improved the breakdown of gas imports by country.

NEW from us: China's domestic clean energy targets could more than double its wind and solar capacity in just 5yrs.
If realized alongside a slowdown in energy demand growth, it would be enough to peak China's CO2 emissions before 2025
Analysis: What do China's gigantic wind and solar bases mean for its climate goals? - Carbon Brief
China is set to add at least 570 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar power in the 14th five-year plan (FYP) period (2021–25).
