Germany’s Olsberg proposes cooperation in reducing air pollution
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Deputy Mayor of Ulaanbaatar responsible for green development and air pollution J.Batbayasgalan received October 4 Director of Germany-based Olsberg Company Ralf Kersting. Olsberg has some 400 years of experience in manufacturing furnaces and heating equipment.
Mr Kersting made an introduction to one of the company’s newest products – a heating equipment suited for the weather conditions of Mongolia and for Ger (nomad's dwelling).
The equipment accumulates heat during nighttime, when the heating tariff can be discounted, and releases or keeps the heat for 24 hours. This can be a great contribution to reducing Ulaanbaatar’s air pollution, which is a pressing problem facing Mongolia’s biggest urban center. However, the nighttime tariff of electric power must be reduced, says Mr Kersting.
Deputy Mayor J.Batbayasgalan said the UB City governance is making efforts in creating proper legal grounds for reducing air pollution and introducing latest technologies. The sides arranged a meeting to elaborate the details of the proposal.
