| Abstract | Clean heating in northern China during winter is a crucial approach to addressing air pollution. People have conducted extensive beneficial explorations, achieving some results while encountering certain challenges. Some regions exhibit a notable duality in winter heating—where the imbalance between income and expenditure leads heating companies to operate at a loss, affecting heating performance. Atmospheric pollution control funds, as the primary source of local heating subsidies, can cover annual revenue gaps but fail to resolve the issue comprehensively. This paper focuses on the contradiction between heating costs and revenues, analyzing the inherent losses of conventional heating technologies and the profit potential of innovative heating solutions. It proposes methods for optimizing the use of pollution prevention funds to provide viable solutions for local governments in managing heating subsidies. |
