The Beijing government will allocate 16.5 billion yuan (US$2.5 billion) to improving air quality this year, sources from the city’s environment department said yesterday.
The money will be used to reduce the use of coal and eliminate outmoded vehicles.
According to official figures, the average density of PM2.5 in Beijing fell 6.2 percent last year, and the government has set a target to reduce it by a further 5 percent this year.
The government has promised to remove 200,000 high-emission vehicles from the city’s roads and will promote the use of clean energy in about 400 villages.
