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.

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.
Our earlier report on how the high fossil fuel prices and the moral shock caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine are speeding up the fossil fuel phase-out in Europe:
Shocked into action – Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air
In response to Russia’s aggression and soaring fossil prices, most EU Member States have announced significant i...

Europe's strengthened clean energy targets and policies will result in improved energy security, reduced fuel costs for power generation, lower energy bills for households and green jobs - great analysis by @TransitionZero, building on work by us and @EmberClimate
Before we get into the benefits, here's the scale of the increased RE ambition.
Before the Ukraine war, EU planned to have 1,149 GW of renewables capacity by 2030, while now the target is 1,434 GW - up 25%.
(This builds on analysis done by @CREACleanAir & @EmberClimate)

Our modeling showed how coal power plants in neighboring provinces affect Jakarta's air quality. These maps show the worst-case situation in 2019, with the highest contribution from coal power to the concentrations of different pollutants.
With serious air pollution in Jakarta in the past weeks, our earlier analysis of cross-boundary pollution has made the headlines again - see this great story from the BBC
Udara Jakarta 'buruk', pemerintah pusat didesak turun tangan atasi 'emisi lintas batas' - BBC News Indonesia
Sumber tidak bergerak dari daerah-daerah sekitar Jakarta juga dianggap berkontribusi signifikan pada buruknya kualitas udara di ibu kota.
