Environment must be a priority

By Zhang Kai (China Daily) Updated: 2013-11-07 07:25

This is a change of strategy from the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15) on air pollution, which aimed to reduce the concentration of PM 2.5 by 6 percent from 2010 levels in the three regions through end-of-pipe treatment, such as desulfurization and denitration.

Hard on the heels of the action plan, the State Council issued the Guidelines to Tackle Serious Production Overcapacity in October, which demonstrated the new government's commitment to curbing excess production capacity and eliminating outdated capacity. The guidelines require cutting 80 million tons of capacity in the steel sector over the next five years and impose punitive electricity and water prices on sectors with severe overcapacity.

But while these are positive moves, whether the transformation to cleaner air will be successful or not, largely depends on whether the country can reduce its coal consumption.

China's coal-fired power stations and heavy industries, such as cement and steel are mainly responsible for burning coal, which is the largest source of China's air pollution, contributing about 45 percent of all PM 2.5 emissions.

If the coal burning of these industries can be curbed, and the target of reducing coal consumption by 83 million tonnes in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Shandong can be attained this will be a good start to achieving better air quality.

But this target only covers Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Shandong, no specific goals have been set for the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta regions, as well as the large coal-producing provinces such as Shanxi and the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.

If China's new government is to effectively protect the environment, it has to introduce stringent administrative and economic measures to reduce the use of coal. For one thing, the targets for cutting coal consumption in Hebei, Shandong, Tianjin and Beijing have to be expanded to other regions as well.

The subsidizing of high pollution enterprises at the cost of public health as has been the case in past decades must be changed. The authorities are expected to push forward a carbon tax and a resources tax in a bid to gradually increase the cost of burning coal, and people expect the upcoming Plenary Session to result in other measures to improve the health of the environment.
