Environment

In the next 5 years, Beijing will spend nearly US$ 7 billion on environmental projects. In the area of environmental protection, US $800 million will be spent on preventing coal burning pollution. This includes construction of natural gas pipelines and storage tanks resulting in a 400 to 500% of natural gas usage by 2007, improving electricity distribution, reengineering power supply structure, implementing European Standard II automobile emission standards, and increasing the use of clean natural gas (CNG) and liquid natural gas (LNG) powered buses and taxis. Beijing will also speed up the development of facilities for treatment and dumping of domestic waste, and improve sewage systems and urban waterways.

In the area of ecological environment development, major forestation projects will be undertaken in the mountain and plains areas surrounding the city as well as in the "three rivers and two sandbanks" (namely the Yongding River, the Chaobai River, the Dasha River, Kangzhuang in Yanqing County, and Nankou in Changping) in order to eliminate the effects of sand storms in Beijing. A massive greenbelt surrounding the entire metropolitan area will be developed. Urban forestation and beautification projects will be implemented throughout the city with the goal of 45% greens coverage in Beijing proper. Also, there will be a push to move industries currently operating within thecitycentesurroundingareas.
