Pollution from disaggregated coal is one of the main air pollution sources in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebeiregion (BTH). Generally, pollution from disaggregated coal is seasonal; it is more seriousin winter due to coal-fired heating. In order to better implement the nationalair pollution control requirements and improve the air quality in the BTH the cleanenergy transformation must be pushed forward and emissions from disaggregatedcoal must be tightly controlled.
Clean Air Alliance of China (CAAC) and Beijing Municipal Academy of Environmental Protection Science (BMAEPS) co-hosted the “Disaggregated Coal Pollution Control in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Area” sub-forum during the Bluetech Conference. Representatives from BTH local environmental protection authorities,enterprises, policy makers and technology experts gathered and discussed disaggregated coal control solutions in BTH. Advanced technologies and domestic as well as international cases were also introduced to the participants of the sub-forum.
During the opening remarks, Mr. XieHongxing, the director of CAAC, affirmed the importance of technical enterprises in BTH disaggregated coal pollution control. Ms. Yan Jing, director of Institute of Atmospheric Science of Beijing Municipal Academy of Environmental Protection Science, introduced the compilation of an air pollution emission inventory for disaggregated coal. Dr. Qian Wentao, PhD from BMAEPS, reviewed and suggested further clean energy transformation policy in BTH. Mr. WangWeiquan, deputy secretary-general of China Renewable Energy Association of Profession Committee of Circular Economy, gave a speech on renewable energy and disposal of coal, which analyzed the main approaches of renewable energy alternatives to coal. During the meeting, six companies including Bluetech awardwinner Beijing Zeta Energy Technology Corp, shared their experiences in disaggregatedcoal control, which led up to a lively discussion among participants.
CAAC and BMAEPS will continue to cooperateon a project to analyse typical cases and suggest clean energy transformation policy in BTH. The project’s main components include a technical survey (on technologiesshown at the conference and other advanced technologies), technical cost andmitigation benefits assessment, cost analysis of different scenarios cleanenergy transformation, policy suggestions on clean energy transformation inBTH, and promote the improvement of air quality in BTH.
