ULAN BATOR, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) Consumption of processed fuel has increased by 41 percent in Mongolia s capital Ulan Bator in December compared with the same month last year due to the COVID-19 lockdown, the city s Specialized Inspection Agency (SIA) said Thursday.
This is because the majority of Ulan Bator s residents have stayed indoors due to the COVID-19 lockdown and burned a lot of processed fuel to keep warm, the SIA said in a statement.
To curb air pollution, Mongolia in 2019 replaced low-grade coal with processed fuel only in Ulan Bator, which is home to over half of the country s population of 3.3 million.
