Integrated assessment of wind energy's emission and meteorological effects on PM2.5 in Taiwan
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: accumulation, with increases ranging from 5 to 10 %. Wind farm size, seasonal circulation patterns, and coastal proximity influence these effects' magnitude and spatial extent. These findings underscore the dual effect of wind energy's influence on atmospheric composition. While emission reductions provide substantial air quality benefits, localized meteorological effects may introduce minor but regionally variable trade-offs. Our study highlights the importance of integrating emission and meteorological considerations into wind energy planning and provides a scientific foundation for policies that maximize environmental co-benefits while minimizing unintended impacts.
