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.

BRIEFING: 4.5 times as much overseas coal capacity linked to China cancelled or shelved than constructed
Comparing the status of Chinese-backed coal-fired power plants in January 2017 and 2021 by project and country, we found that a wave of project cancellations has hit China-backed coal power investments: 4.5 times as much capacity has been shelved or cancelled than entered into construction.
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.

Phasing out coal will deliver enormous benefits for:
✅ Public health,
✅ EU membership.
✅ #EnergyTransition
New report by @CREACleanAir & @ceebankwatch
The sulfur dioxide emissions of a single Serbian #coal power plant (Nikola Tesla A) exceed the total emissions of all of Poland’s coal plants — the EU’s largest emitter.
