During the regular session on April 25th, Cabinet issued a decision to establish an plant which will produce improved fuel using washed coal from Ukhaa-Khudag.
The business will operate as a subsidiary of Erdenes Mongol. The proposed plant is one of measures directed toward implementing the decree which prohibits the use of raw coal beginning May 15, 2019. Raw coal would be replaced with this improved fuel source, and thereby reduce environmental pollution. It is expected that the plant will process 90 thousand tons of improved fuel annually, and will finance its operational expenses directly from its sales revenue.
At the session, Cabinet members also approved a draft resolution to take the Tuul River under special protection, as proposed by MP A. Sukhbat. 190 thousand cubic meters of water is consumed daily for either industrial or domestic purposes. According to expert research, the ecosystem of the riverbeds has deteriorated and reserves of drinking water have diminished substantially due to the growing population as well as the increased number of construction projects.
