Schematic diagram of the trade-offs between the implications for regional air quality and global climate change of new policies for management of the atmosphere. The project builds upon the idea that air quality and climate change issues are linked through “one atmosphere”, an approach that demands coordination and multi-tiered approaches.

Cutting particle pollution, nitrogen NO x , and SO x by more than 25% as a co-benefit. This entails leveraging re-dispatch over the grid to substitute generation at the most carbon-intensive affected EGUs with generation from less carbon-intensive affected EGUs (including natural gas combined cycle [NGCC] units that are under construction).
