Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Rachet up Anti-pollution Efforts
Ministry of Environmental Protection monitoring of 74 Chinese cities during the first half of the year shows that air in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province is the most polluted in the country. During the first six months of 2013, 26.2 percent of the total number of days was graded "heavily polluted." To address the problem, governments of the three regions have introduced fresh measures. Beijing plans to reduce consumption of tow- grade coal in rural areas this winter by 800,000 tons- one fifth of that normally used. Purchases of high-quality coal will be subsidized by RMB 200 per ton. Beijing will also build more infrastructures in rural communities to facilitate use of alternative energies, including, electricity, natural gas, solar power and biogas, to check pollutant emission at source. Tianjin has promulgated the Beautiful Tianjin Plan, whose goal is to reduce by 20 percent its annual PM2.5 figure by 2016. Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei Province, recently launched a quota policy for automobile purchases and limits the number of cars hitting the road each day. The city plans to cap annual growth of the number of automobiles to below 100,000 in 2013 and 2014, and to lower this figure to 90,000 in 2015.
