Driving force analysis of the nitrogen oxides intensity related to electricity sector in China based on the LMDI method

In China, as a kind of important precursors to cause PM2.5 and O3 pollution, nitrogen oxides (NOX) have attracted a large attention. From the perspective of electricity-related NOx generation, the aggregate nitrogen oxides generation intensity (ANI) is decomposed temporally and spatially based on the LMDI method. At the country level, ANI in China dropped significantly from 2.90 g NOX/kWh to 2.15 g NOX/kWh from 2000 to 2016. The temporal and...
