The research motivation comes from the fact that the vigorously promoted 'coal to gas'policy under the pressure of China's Ministry of Environmental Protection(MEP) has led to severe gas shortage in many regions. This study explores a cross-regional energy coordination scheme, in which China's MEP sets pollution transfer prices and pollution standards for each region, while each region determines its energy inputs and pollutant removal amounts. It is first formulated as a bilevel programming called PTEC and then it is transformed and a corresponding algorithm is proposed. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, the SO2 control in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Delta is finally selected. Results display that to meet the national pollution standards, the PTEC mode just need to reduce SO2 by 1.5434 million tons, which is 5.02% and 4.97% lower than the current command mode and the 'coal to gas' mode, respectively. Furthermore, the PTEC increases the industrial net output of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei by 21.9037%, 43.4486%, and 11.0651% compared with the other two modes. Our study can provide certain reference significance for pollution control and energy structure optimization.
