Capital city pilots cleaner heating system
Print Edition
A cleaner heating system is to be established in Beijing to control air pollution, the National Energy Administration said yesterday.
A trial project will utilize renewable energy sources such as wind power to supply heat, it said.
Beijing has an increasing demand for electricity and heating, while neighboring city Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province has abundant wind power resources. The two cities, which are pursuing a joint bid for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, will work together on the project.
It will draw on similar projects in northeast China’s Jilin Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the north.
Using cleaner, renewable energy sources instead of coal for heating is key to transforming Beijing’s energy structure and controlling air pollution, the NEA said.
Coal has always been the major energy source of heat for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and is a major cause of air pollution.
