Innovations help lower emissions

Beijing's science, technology and innovation achievements in traditional and new energy industries have gradually transferred into key equipment which will help cut emissions in the city and nearby regions.

According to a government report by the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission, the city has supported 70 scientific research projects, whose results can be directly used in oil, gas, coal and nuclear projects as well as international capacity cooperation.

With the support of the commission, the research institute with China Huadian Corp, one of the country's five major power groups, has developed a classifier for thermal power plants that can maintain a stable pulverized coal flame, which will raise combustion efficiency on a large scale.
