In north China, many rural and urban residents still use coal for heating in winter. However,
such method would result in a large amount of GHG emissions. China intends to change the
heating method of its citizens from coal burning to electric heating to save energy, reduce
emissions, which is called the project of Coal to Electricity (CtE). A dynamic recursive
computable general equilibrium model is applied to analyze the real effect if the project is
widely promoted in China. We found that CtE project is effective in reducing SO 2 and NO x …
