China cuts potent N2O emissions through synergistic climate, pollution governance
China has successfully stabilized and reduced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions since 2013, demonstrating that economic growth can align with climate goals through synergistic governance, advanced technologies, and industrial cooperation...
✨ Key Highlights
China has successfully leveled off and steadily reduced the growth rate of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions since 2013, demonstrating that economic growth does not necessitate increased emissions of this potent greenhouse gas.
- N2O is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential nearly 300 times that of CO2.
- The achievement was presented by Han Yinghui, associate professor at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences’ college of resources and environment, at COP30 in Belem, Brazil.
- China's success is attributed to "synergistic governance," combining pollution control with climate action, such as the widespread adoption of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in coal-fired power plants, mitigating 70 to 90 percent of coproduced N2O emissions.
