The effort is part of a “fresh air” initiative to reduce air pollution in Ulaanbaatar. The initiative was proposed by President Ts.Elbegdorj and approved by MPs last winter.
The ministers say 70,000 homes will receive the heaters in Mongolia, which use coking coal. It is hoped that this will reduce air pollution in the city of Ulaanbaatar. The Government will also offer assistance to low-income citizens who would like to purchase one of the heaters.
