Welcome to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).
We are a new 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.

Progress on clean energy is a given in China’s 5-year plans – not least because the government like […]

Our new joint report with Draworld research center looks at what China's 2060 carbon neutrality target means for energy planning for 2025 and 2030. The coal power industry is still lobbying for 100s of new plants, in direct contradiction with the target.

My analysis of this winter's air quality targets and measures for China's key regions recently proposed by the environment ministry. Aiming for very modest progress - for Beijing region, targets are higher than levels already reached in 2017-18.
