City chooses gas for power that鈥檚 cleaner
Print Edition
The northern city of Tianjin, which borders Beijing, closed its last coal-fired power plant in an urban area on Wednesday, replacing it with a gas-fired one to cut pollution.
The Chentangzhuang Thermal Power Plant shut down three coal-fired power generation units, according to the municipal development and reform commission.
The new plant is expected to be China鈥檚 largest gas-fired power station, capable of generating 8.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and heating 240,000 households.
The move will cut Tianjin鈥檚 annual coal consumption by 2.33 million tons, while the new plant will emit 927 fewer tons of sulfur dioxide, 5,169 fewer tons of nitric oxide and 140 fewer tons of dust per year.
Both Tianjin鈥檚 major urban coal-fired power plants have now closed. The Tianjin No. 1 Thermal Power Plant, founded in 1937, closed in 2011. In 2013, the city launched a five-year plan to slash coal consumption, promote clean energy and cut pollution.
