2. 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)…”

4. 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

6. Citizens’ behaviour 2 focal points: (passenger) Transport choices
Domestic energy use

7. Citizens’ behaviour 2 focal points: (passenger) transport choices

8. Transport behaviour
Passenger activities...

9. Transport behaviour Passenger activities…
…generate trips with different purposes…
discretionary
home
recreational
services
shopping
study
work

10. Transport behaviour Passenger activities…
…generate trips with different purposes…
…by different people…
Age - gender - income

11. Transport behaviour Passenger activities…
…generate trips with different purposes…
…by different people…
…with different modes
Car – bus – train – bike - walk

12. Citizens’ behaviour 2 focal points: (passenger) transport choices
Domestic energy use

13. Domestic energy use
Household activities…

14. Domestic energy use Household activities…
…generate electricity use & heating patterns…

15. Domestic energy use Household activities…
…generate electricity use & heating patterns…
…using different energy vectors
 gas, district heating, oil, solid fuel, wood

16. 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

17. 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

18. Conclusion
To go from…
