BEIJING (Reuters) - China will replace four coal-burning heating plants in the capital Beijing with natural gas fired ones by the end of next year as it steps up efforts to clean up pollution, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.
The report, citing the city's Municipal Commission of Development and Reform, said the four plants and some 40 other related projects would cost around 48 billion yuan (4.9 billion pounds) and cut sulphur dioxide emissions by 10,000 tonnes. It did not detail the related projects.
