·In the first half of the year, Beijing’s emissions fell by 180,000 old cars

The reporter recently learned from the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau that in the first half of the year, the emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen of the four major pollutants in the city were all lower than the same period of last year, but the total emission reduction of pollutants in the city remained severe.
In terms of air pollution control, Beijing's coal consumption decreased by about 7% in the first half of this year, sulfur dioxide emissions decreased by about 1,600 tons, and contributed 80% of the city's sulfur dioxide emission reduction; in the first half of the year, 176,000 old replacement vehicles were eliminated. The emission of nitrogen oxides from motor vehicles decreased by 5.12% compared with the same period of last year. The emission reduction of nitrogen oxides in motor vehicles accounted for 33% of the total emission reduction of nitrogen oxides in the city. The output of cement clinker decreased by 7% in the first half of the year. The denitrification treatment project was put into operation, and the contribution to the city's nitrogen oxide emission reduction accounted for nearly 30%.
It is understood that this year's Beijing emission reduction target is that sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen emissions of four major pollutants decreased by 5%, 5%, 2% and 2% respectively compared with 2013.
In order to further implement the task of energy conservation and emission reduction, Beijing is implementing emission reduction projects focusing on “energy cleanliness” and “sewage resource utilization”. Deepen the potential for emission reduction in the field of civil waste burning to reduce coal and coal, increase the elimination of old vehicles, encourage the use of new energy vehicles and control industrial volatile organic compounds.
The relevant person in charge pointed out that the situation of total pollutant emission reduction in Beijing is still grim. There are some districts and counties with rapid population growth, the existing sewage treatment plant design capacity can not meet the demand, the urban domestic sewage treatment plant and the supporting pipe network construction lag and low operating load
