Designing Retirement Strategies for Coal-Fired Power Plants To Mitigate Air Pollution and Health Impacts.

Retiring coal power plants can reduce air pollution and health damages. However, the spatial distribution of those impacts remains unclear due to complex power system operations and pollution chemistry and transport. Focusing on coal retirements in Pennsylvania (PA), we analyze six counterfactual scenarios for 2019 that differ in retirement targets (e.

Emissions and Health Implications of Pennsylvania's Entry into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a cap-and-trade system targeting CO emissions from the electricity sector in the northeastern United States. As a major power producer and carbon emitter, Pennsylvania plans to join RGGI in 2022, which will affect both the carbon market (i.e.
