Reduction in air pollutants

The “Reduction in air pollution” belongs to the ecologic indicators and is calculated as follows:

\(\Delta \xi_{p, c, e, ss, y} = EF_{p, c, e, ss, y} \cdot \Delta E_{c, e, ss, y}\)

\(\Delta E_{c, e, ss, y} = \sum_u \Delta E_{c, e, ss, u, y}\)

\(\Delta \xi_{p, c, e, ss, y} = \) “Reduction in air pollution” (=change in pollutant’s emissions)

\(EF_{p, c, e, ss, y} = \) emission factor for a given pollutant, region, final energy carrier, subsector, and year, from import\public\iiasa\air_pollutant.xlsx

\(p = \) id_parameter for pollutant {4: CO2, 5: SO2, 6: NOX, 7: PM_2_5}

\(\Delta E_{c, e, ss, y} = \) energy savings in a given region, final energy carrier, subsector, and year

The raw data for the emission factor values are in kt per PJ of energy.
