Newly appointed Minister oversees Mongolia’s first compressed fuel factory
A project to manufacture compressed fuel in a Mongolian factory will begin this May, despite projections that predicted production as early as January.
When the factory starts running at full capacity, it will supply 210 thousand tonnes of compressed gas to the citizens of Ulaanbaatar. As the coal is manufactured by coking, it will emit ten times less air pollution than regular processes.
The price of compressed fuel gas is higher than coal, but it will be delivered to the citizens at a lower price thanks to the Clean Air Foundation. The factory can expect profit margins within 12 years. Newly appointed Minister for Nature, Environment, and Tourism D.Tsogtbaatar was given a tour of operations on February 7.
“To have this factory built, we used the tax money of the citizens. Therefore, we will be considereding public health as a priority over Government profits. We also need to get things done on time and according to plan,” he said to the administrator of the factory. He also asked them to report progress every two weeks until its completion in May.
After his visit, he met with the citizens of Songinokhairkhan District and Bayanzurkh District. He committed to working hard to decrease air pollution by studying every technology viable for use in Mongolia.c
