Since the Datang coal-to-gas project began trial runs in December 2013, local herders have been plagued by air pollution. Herders in the four villages of Bayan Duhumu Gacha, Hongqi Gacha, Narisu Gacha and Baiyin Xile Gacha submitted an official complaint in March of this year. It reads: "Coal waste is everywhere. Many people have experienced headaches and discomfort. This is seriously threatening peoples' lives as well as the development of the livestock industry." China’s flagship coal-to-gas pilot project is already breaking national standards on air and water pollution, according to an on-the-ground investigation by Greenpeace China.Locations:Chifeng-China-East Asia-Inner MongoliaDate:16 Oct, 2014Credit:© Ma Longlong / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5027px X 3351pxKeywords:Air pollution-Chimneys-Climate (campaign title)-Coal-KWCI (GPI)-Livestock-One person-Outdoors-Smoke-Toxic waste-Water pollutionShoot:Dirty Secrets of China’s Flagship Coal-to-Gas ProjectChina’s flagship coal-to-gas pilot project is already breaking national standards on air and water pollution, according to an on-the-ground investigation by Greenpeace China. China is considering more than 50 new coal to gas projects in a move partially designed to reduce air pollution. The process is extremely carbon intensive and recent analysis suggests the projects undermine a recent China-US agreement on tackling climate change. Domestically the plans have sparked concerns about water use and local pollution.Related Collections:Dirty Secrets of China's Flagship Coal-to-Gas Model Project (all photographers)
