Access to a reliable source of heat is
vital to sustain life in Mongolia. Particularly so, for
families living in the traditional tents, who today in
Ulaanbaatar - the capital city - rely on burning mineral
coal. However, the incomplete combustion of coal by
inefficient metal stoves, releases polluting gases,
affecting not only households' interior, but the air
quality of the entire city. Additionally, air pollution is
also caused by three central combined heating, and power
stations coal-fueled boilers, and vehicle emissions. Over
the 1999-2001 period, the Energy Sector Management
Assistance Programme (ESMAP) assessed the situation in terms
of household heating habits, and consumption levels, and
identified the main local participants, towards improving
stoves and their impact on air pollution. Appropriate
schemes were designed for widespread uses, and a
dissemination program was elaborated, including financial
support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for its
implementation. The report presents the findings, and
lessons learned, highlighting the need to further explore
other alternatives, such as the use of briquettes,
installation of thermal bricks inside combustion chambers,
and extending credit to consumers, increasing their
purchasing power. It further stipulates fuel expenses can be
cut by one-third, air pollution reduced, thus improving
living conditions, public health, as well as public
expenses, and the environment. |
