ClairCity aims to attribute city air pollution, carbon emissions, and health outcomes to citizens' behaviors and choices, such as travel, shopping, and recreation. This project expands beyond traditional source identification to target policies based on underlying sources of emissions.

ClairCity context “…source apportionment of city air pollution, carbon emissions and health outcomes, attributing them to citizens’ behaviours, activities and choices (e.g. travel to work, shopping, recreation …) rather than only to source sectors (Transport/Domestic/Industrial) or technologies (e.g. diesel vehicles, coal power plants)…”

Source apportionment • Traditional sense: “technical” sectors: • Freight/passenger transport (sub-sections: car/bus/HGV, fuel type, Euro Standards) • Industry: power generation, chemical, cement,… • Households: fuel types used for heating (gas, electricity, wood, coal,…) • ClairCity “addition”: the underlying reasons for these emissions, to increase understanding and allow for targeted policies

Domestic energy use Household activities… …generateelectricityuse & heatingpatterns… …using different energy vectors gas, district heating, oil, solidfuel, wood
Link with emission sources • Transport activity then linked to the actual sources: diesel/petrol/electric cars, buses,… with distinct emission profiles • Domestic energy consumption linked to properties of the energy vector with distinct emission profiles
Conclusion • Expanding beyond traditional identification of sources of local air quality to the underlying sources of emissions • Understand what behaviours are driving the emissions to allow for “targeted” policies
Conclusion To go from…
