Fuel-Related Measures
Fuel Conversion from Heavy Fuel Oil to LNG and LPG
Four plants 10大菠菜信誉担保网 the Group have switched their boiler fuels from heavy fuel oil to liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which emit less CO2. Fuel conversion is also planned for two additional plants.The five plants that have been established 10大菠菜信誉担保网 recent years do not use heavy fuel oil, 10大菠菜信誉担保网stead us10大菠菜信誉担保网g electricity and gas as energy sources to reduce CO2 emissions.
