The Russian government has approved comprehensive plans to reduce emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere in a number of settlements participating in the federal project "Clean Air".
The corresponding order was signed and covers cities and towns in various regions of the country, including Achinsk and Lesosibirsk in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Ussuriysk in Primorye, Kemerovo, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the town of Chegdomyn in the Khabarovsk Territory, Usolye-Sibirskoye in the Irkutsk Region, and Selenginskoye in Buryatia.
Comprehensive plans include a number of measures aimed at reducing emissions from industrial enterprises, energy facilities, transport and communal infrastructure. Among them are the modernization of industrial production, the transition of the private sector to gas or electric heating, the installation of solid fuel boilers with an increased efficiency, the renewal of tram and trolleybus networks, as well as the purchase of more environmentally friendly models of public transport.
All these measures are aimed at reducing the level of harmful emissions and improving the environmental situation in these settlements. The measures will be financed from the federal and regional budgets, as well as from extra-budgetary funds raised as part of the new national project "Environmental Well-being".
