Clean air measures welcomed

September 12, 2013
The Hong Kong Government welcomed the State Council's introduction of 10 new measures to reduce air pollution today.
 
They set out clear targets to reduce air pollution, as laid out in the 12th Five-Year Plan.
 
Hong Kong has imposed stringent emission caps on its power plants, where desulphurising and denitrifying technologies have been implemented, resulting in substantial pollutant emissions reduction.
 
The city is also conducting a review of its fuel mix for power generation, to strike a balance of safety, reliability, affordability and environmental protection, with a public consultation planned for later this year.
 
It will also mandate the use of cleaner marine fuel for local vessels, and require ocean-going vessels to switch to cleaner fuel while at berth in the city.
