Capital Bans Coal-Burning

The latest government circular has banned the burning of coal in all new and renovated construction on the outskirts of Beijing, a new rule made by the municipal government to spread the use of clean energy and protect the environment.

The government encourages all enterprises in Beijing's suburban areas to rebuild their coal-fueled systems and begin consuming pollution-free energy resources, such as natural gas. Those who finish the reconstruction by the end of 2002 will get preferential treatment on reduction or exemption of urban infrastructure construction fees, according to the circular.
