In order to facilitate comprehensive control of
air pollution and improve air quality, Qinghai province took account of
its actual condition and released ‘Plan of Winning the Campaign of
Defending Blue Sky for 2018-2020’.
Overall Requirements:
Based
on socialism with Chinese characteristics, Qinghai province aims to
improve air quality and guarantee the well-being of its residents. It is
imperative to strengthen the inspection of pollution during the whole
process and reduce the emission of pollutants.
Key
Tasks:
Qinghai
province should reasonably optimize the structure of industries and propel
eco-development. It is necessary to actively eliminate overcapacity and
further the capacity reduction in coal industry in accordance with
quality, environmental protection, energy consumption and safety
standards. Qinghai intends to phase out 690,000 tons of coal capacity in
the year of 2018.
It
is significant to control the total volume of coal consumption. According
to the principle of clean usage, Qinghai determines to cut down the use of
coal in non-electric fields and increase the proportion of coal used to
generate electric power.
In
addition, it is indispensable to control the pollution caused by
coal-fired boilers in accordance with the improvement of air quality.
Qinghai is aimed at expanding the forbidden area of highly-polluting fuels
and propelling the elimination of small-sized coal-fired boilers.
