Kuzbass officials shared details of improving the environmental situation in Kemerovo

This issue was raised in the official chat of Governor Ilya Seredyuk, where a user asked about measures to protect the environment in the city.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the region responded that from September 1, 2023, Kemerovo joined the federal Clean Air program. It implements measures to reduce air pollution. Among the key achievements are the construction of a bypass road around the city and the launch of a renovation program for the Zaiskitim district. Thanks to these steps, it was possible to reduce emissions by 1.2 thousand tons, which is equivalent to 1.5 percent of the figures for 2020.

By 2036, it is planned to halve emissions from baseline 2020 by introducing protective technologies at 56 industrial sites. For these enterprises, Rosprirodnadzor has already determined the maximum permissible emission standards. Organizations are now working on action plans to meet the quotas.
