Recently, a seventy-year-old man in Nanxingguo Town, Zanhuang County, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, a ton of coal was taken away by the staff, causing an uproar on the Internet. This incident has aroused widespread concern in the society, and the discussion on the policy of rural scattered coal management has heated up again. In the process, some people have questioned the action of **, arguing that high-sulfur briquettes cause more pollution, while the use of clean briquettes has less environmental impact.
1. Rural scattered coal governance
In rural areas, where there is a lack of central heating, many households still rely on loose coal for heating. However, the high sulphur emissions from the burning of loose coal pose a serious threat to air and health. In order to improve the living environment of farmers, the first policy of loose coal management has been introduced, trying to reduce pollution to the atmosphere and human body.
Second, the problem of loose coal governance
Although the original intention of loose coal management is to improve environmental quality, it faces a series of problems in practice. First, some older people or farmers who are Xi to using loose coal do not know enough about new clean energy sources and may find it difficult to accept new technologies. Second, the cost of clean energy is relatively high, and some farmers have a heavy economic burden and cannot afford the cost of transformation. Finally, in some places, when implementing the loose coal governance policy, there may be a lack of effective communication and publicity, which may lead to misunderstanding and dissatisfaction with the policy.
3. High-sulfur briquette and clean briquette
On the issue of coal, it has been proposed to use clean briquettes instead of high-sulfur briquettes to reduce environmental pollution. Indeed, clean briquettes produce less pollution when burned than high-sulfur briquettes. However, in practice, it is not easy to achieve the popularization of clean briquettes. The high level of clean briquettes and the need for corresponding combustion equipment may be unaffordable for some economically disadvantaged farmers.
Fourth, the solution
Strengthen advocacy and education:Farmers should be educated about the benefits of clean energy and how to use the new coal correctly and safely.
Provide financial support:In order to reduce the financial burden on farmers, they can be supported to purchase clean energy equipment by providing subsidies or loans, and encourage them to replace traditional high-sulfur briquettes.
Building clean energy heating infrastructure:** Invest in the construction of clean energy heating infrastructure in rural areas to provide farmers with more convenient and environmentally friendly heating methods.
When it comes to loose coal governance, understanding and communication with farmers is crucial. In formulating and implementing policies, more attention should be paid to the actual situation of farmers and more support and assistance should be provided. Rural coal management is a complex system project, which needs to comprehensively consider economic, environmental and social factors. Only with the joint efforts of enterprises, enterprises and farmers can we find more reasonable and feasible solutions, promote the upgrading of heating methods in rural areas, and achieve a win-win situation for the economy and the environment.
