South Korea plans to replace coal-fired power plants under construction with LNG-based power turbines in a bid to cut pollution, the government said in a statement Tuesday.
It would also seek to scrap some 2.2 million diesel vehicles by May 2022, before President Moon Jae-In's term ends. People would be offered incentives to switch to less polluting LPG-powered cars, according to the statement issued jointly by the industry, energy, environmental, transport and finance ministries.
The government was eyeing a 30% fall in fine dust emissions from current levels by 2022, the statement said.
Reducing fine dust pollutants has become a major issue amid increasing health concerns. Coal and diesel are seen as a contributor to the pollution.
