| Zusammenfassung |
| Emissions of air pollutants in East Asia play an important role in the
regional and global atmospheric environment. In this study we evaluated the
recent emission trends of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides
(NOx), particulate matter (PM), and non-methane volatile organic
compounds (NMVOC) in East Asia, and projected their future emissions up until
2030 with six emission scenarios. The results will provide future emission
projections for the modeling community of the model inter-comparison program
for Asia (MICS-Asia). During 2005–2010, the emissions of SO2 and
PM2.5 in East Asia decreased by 15 and 12%, respectively, mainly
attributable to the large-scale deployment of flue gas desulfurization (FGD)
at China's power plants, and the promotion of highly efficient PM removal
technologies in China's power plants and cement industry. During this period,
the emissions of NOx and NMVOC increased by 25 and 15%,
driven by rapid increase in the emissions from China due to inadequate
control strategies. In contrast, the NOx and NMVOC emissions in
East Asia except China decreased by 13–17%, mainly due to the
implementation of stringent vehicle emission standards in Japan and South
Korea. Under current regulations and current levels of implementation,
NOx, SO2, and NMVOC emissions in East Asia are projected to
increase by about one-quarter over 2010 levels by 2030, while PM2.5
emissions are expected to decrease by 7%. Assuming enforcement of new
energy-saving policies, emissions of NOx, SO2, PM2.5
and NMVOC in East Asia are expected to decrease by 28, 36, 28, and 15%,
respectively, compared with the baseline case. The implementation of
"progressive" end-of-pipe control measures would lead to another one-third
reduction of the baseline emissions of NOx, and about one-quarter
reduction of SO2, PM2.5, and NMVOC. Assuming the full application
of technically feasible energy-saving policies and end-of-pipe control
technologies, the emissions of NOx, SO2, and PM2.5 in
East Asia would account for only about one-quarter, and NMVOC for one-third,
of the levels of the baseline projection. Compared with previous projections,
this study projects larger reductions in NOx and SO2
emissions by considering aggressive governmental plans and standards
scheduled to be implemented in the next decade, and quantifies the
significant effects of detailed progressive control measures on NMVOC
emissions up until 2030. |
