in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
SCROLL
Project Outline
In 2020-21, ECO&PARTNERS Co., Ltd. established a master plan for ambient air quality improvement in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia supported by the Korean Ministry of Environment in collaboration with the Korea Environment Corporation and domestic air quality experts. The Ministry of Environment and Tourism (Mongolia) as a Counterpart shared Mongolian air management status (laws, policies, systems, etc.) with a Korean expert's team, and requested support for areas that needed improvement. In this process, opinions were collected from other government ministries and agencies, such as the Ministry of Road and Transport Development of Mongolia and the Mongolia National Agency of Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring to identify a total of 12 cooperation projects (including 2 Priority Cooperation projects) for each air pollution source sector, and a total of 7 relevant policies were recommended.
Cooperation projects for ambient air quality improvement in Mongolia include the ICT-based integrated ambient air quality management system project in the UB city, pilot installation of a DPF for reducing emissions from old diesel vehicles in Mongolia, installation of air pollution prevention facilities (electrostatic precipitator, desulfurization facility) in the combined heat and power plant in the UB city, and introduction of gas fired HOBs, etc.
