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.

Correction to the first graph: the original version was missing LNG in the rightmost column. The graph has been corrected in the article.
Very significant climate news from China. Steel is the 1st industrial sector to formally adopt an "early peaking" target, aiming to peak emissions before 2025, ahead of the targeted national peak before 2030. We'll be tracking how investments in new capacity align with the goal.
China's steel industry to peak CO2 emissions before 2025! The coking industry association just released their CO2 peaking action plan which cites this target for the iron&steel industry. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/bUyZSGQN7Gx4Xhrn8f6g1Q

To provide a near-real time view of Russia's fossil fuel exports, CREA has launched the website https://www.russiafossiltracker.com/, which also includes the documentation of the methodology and sources for our data and analysis.
As long as fossil fuel prices stay at elevated levels, Russia will continue to earn outsize revenue. This can be addressed with tariffs or price caps that drive a wedge between international fuel prices and those paid to Russian exporters.
