Cut high polluting fuel is considered to be the key to control air pollution, with "no coal zone" to expand the city, coal consumption reduction, directly affects the atmospheric pollutant emission.

State Department counselor, former researcher at the National Energy Bureau in charge of coal deputy director Wu Yinceng pointed out that China's civil coal basically for decentralized combustion, did not take the dust removal, desulfurization and other environmental protection measures, 1 tons of coal combustion emissions of pollutants is 5-10 times higher than coal-fired emissions.
According to the "2017 China coal treatment research report" is expected in 2017, China will reduce the consumption of 70 million tons of loose coal, in 2020 to reduce more than 2 tons of more.
At present, the number of coal consumption has been reduced by more than one million tons in the city. For example, from 2013 to the end of 2016, Beijing cumulative reduction of coal consumption reached more than 1300 tons; Shaanxi city of Xi'an has been cut more than 137 tons of coal this year; Shandong province this year, the province plans to cut coal consumption of 27 million 60 thousand tons or more.
Extending forbidden burning areas successively
According to the Ministry of environmental protection issued "on the" high pollution fuel ") directory notice" requirements, the ban on burning coal, burning coal, coal gangue, San ban coal, pulverized coal, coal slurry, coal, coke, coal and other areas (single output is greater than or equal to 20 tons of steam per hour except boiler); petroleum coke oil shale, crude oil, heavy oil, residual oil, coal tar and other fuels; combustible waste and direct use of biomass fuels (wood, straw, sawdust, rice husk, etc.).
In September 2013, the State Council issued the "air pollution prevention plan" requirements, expand the city to ban high polluting fuel combustion zone, and gradually extended to the outskirts of the built-up area of the city.
Subsequently, more and more began to act to delimit the high pollution fuel forbidden zone. Taking Wuhan as an example, surging news noted that Wuhan announced the ban combustion zone diagram shows, 2012, Wuhan city in the "11th Five-Year" period designated no fly zone based on the adjusted expansion, will fuel forbidden area expanded to three within the region; and this adjustment, greatly expanded the scope of the ban combustion zone to the Beltway km link within the region, and the other is to separate the 9 ban combustion zone, has gradually extended to the suburbs.
The decline in coal consumption is a long-term trend
In August 31st this year, the second session of the China comprehensive management of coal conference, composed of other departments by the State Council Development Research Center of resources and environmental policy research experts governance scattered coal group released the "2017 China coal Governance Research Report" pointed out that in 2015 China coal consumption of about 7.5 tons, of which about 2.34 of domestic coal million tons, about 2.2 tons of small coal-fired boilers, about 2.36 tons of small coal-fired industrial furnaces, about 0.6 tons of other incomplete statistics scattered coal.
State Department counselor researcher Wu Yin pointed out that China's civil coal basically for decentralized combustion, did not take the dust removal, desulfurization and other environmental protection measures, 1 tons of coal combustion emissions of pollutants is 5-10 times higher than coal-fired emissions.
According to the Economic Daily reported on 2016, the Ministry of environmental protection of the relevant person in charge, the use of domestic coal a large quantity of Beijing Tianjin Hebei North heating area is wide, and coal exceed the standard phenomenon, leading to pollutant emission of coal combustion in civil. "The same burning a ton of coal, air pollutant emissions is likely to have a civil stove coal-fired boiler pollution control measures, the atmosphere of the times or even ten times."
With the development of high polluting fuel forbidden zones, the consumption of coal in some cities is decreasing year by year.
Coal big province of Shandong in September of this year resorted killer, the elimination of backward coal units, shutting down small coal-fired boilers...... Plans to reduce coal consumption in 2017 more than 27 million 60 thousand tons, the province's coal consumption in 2017 controlled within 382 million 330 thousand tons.
The concern of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, according to the Ministry of environmental protection issued this year's "Tianjin and surrounding areas 2017-2018 autumn and winter air pollution control action plan" crucial requirements, 2017, Beijing City Yajian coal consumption 2 million 600 thousand tons, 2 million 600 thousand tons of Tianjin City, Hebei Province, more than 6 million tons.
In the case of Beijing, Beijing started in 2013 Yajian coal, as of the end of 2016, the total amount of coal consumption decreased from 23 million tons to less than 10 million tons, cut over 13 million tons in 2017; total coal consumption in Beijing will be reduced to less than 700 tons, six districts of the City and the Southern Plains area basically no coal".
Surging news noted that this year, the coal market warming, rising prices, coal consumption growth is also negative from positive. However, in the whole energy consumption structure, the proportion of coal consumption is still showing a downward trend.
"The overall trend of decline in the proportion of coal consumption will not change," Li Fulong, deputy director of the division of the development planning of the National Energy Bureau at a press conference held in July this year, the national energy board on 2016, the national coal consumption accounted for 62%, natural gas and non fossil energy and other clean energy accounted for 19.7%; the first half of this year, the proportion of coal consumption about 60%, natural gas and non fossil energy and other clean energy proportion is about 20%. Coal consumption is gradually declining, which is a long-term trend.
