Low-sulfur coal use enforced in Beijing
Print Edition
BEIJING will enforce the use of cleaner low-sulfur coal from August 1 in a bid to tackle the soaring levels of air pollution that frequently clog the country’s major cities.
China’s capital will implement strict controls and targets for airborne sulfur from coal, Xinhua news agency reported, citing the Beijing Municipal Administration of Quality and Technology Supervision.
This is the first time China has enforced the use of low-sulfur coal across all industries to tackle pollution.
In the past, weak monitoring and punishments make it tough to get powerful industrial interests to comply to environmental legislation.
China unveiled plans at the end of last year to slash coal consumption and close polluting mills, factories and smelters to cut air pollution.
