Ministry highlights emissions reduction
Print Edition
POLLUTING emissions in China declined in the first six months, according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Spokesman Liu Bingjiang said emissions of chemical oxygen demand, ammoniacal nitrogen, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide decreased by 2.9 percent, 3.18 percent, 4.63 percent and 8.8 percent respectively.
China increased daily sewage treatment capacity by 3.5 million tons to 175 million tons. Regulations were put in place for 270 papermaking, printing and dying operations requiring further treatment and recycling of wastewater. Power plants that remove nitrogen oxide reached a capacity of 750 million kilowatts, or 87 percent of total installed thermal power capacity.
Coal-fired power plants that remove sulfur dioxide now account for 96 percent of total installed coal-fired power capacity in China.
China also increased gas use by 750 million cubic meters, replacing 1.7 million tons of coal.
