Montsame, Ulaanbaatar, January 13th - To reduce air pollution in Ulaanbaatar this winter, Mongolia has imported semi-coke coal from China to meet the heating needs of residents. Relevant departments stated that this measure has significantly improved the air pollution situation in the capital.
The semi-coke coal, which is considered to have a positive impact on improving the air quality in the capital, was shipped from the Erlianhot station in China, and the relevant receiving and transportation work was handled by the "Ulaanbaatar Railway" joint venture. Since September 20th last year, a total of 95 trainloads, 4,620 freight cars, totaling 219,000 tons of semi-coke coal have been transported and supplied for use by residents.
