Beijing to be cleaner this winter

Beijing plans to cut over 1,800 tons of nitric oxide emissions during this year’s winter heating season, Beijing Thermal Group said yesterday.

Boilers have been upgraded using low nitrogen combustion technology to cut nitric oxide emissions to 15 milligram per cubic meter.

Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau said 24,400 tons of coal fired boilers had been eliminated in the past four years and nearly 10,000 gas-fired boilers have been upgraded using low nitrogen combustion technology.

Air pollution is more prevalent in north China in winter. While high concentrations of industrial and vehicle emissions are the main culprits, static air and the use of coal worsen the situation.
