[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 11th that it will implement the "Household Eco-friendly Low-NOx Boiler Distribution Project," which supports part of the installation cost of eco-friendly low-NOx boilers to improve air quality.

An eco-friendly low-NOx boiler refers to a product certified by the Environmental Industry Technology Institute's environmental label that has higher thermal efficiency than a general boiler and reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx), one of the causes of fine dust, to about one-eighth of that of a general boiler.

The application period for the project is from the 11th until the budget is exhausted. The support targets are Jinju citizens who replace household general boilers using gas fuel with eco-friendly low-NOx boilers, and tenants authorized by the homeowner can also apply.

The support scale is 1,669 units for general households and 459 units for low-income households (recipients of livelihood benefits, lower-income classes), with support amounts of 200,000 KRW for general households and 600,000 KRW for low-income households.

A city official said, "Replacing old household boilers with eco-friendly low-NOx boilers is expected to reduce fine dust and air pollutants starting from homes," and added, "We hope citizens who want to replace their boilers actively use the household eco-friendly low-NOx boiler replacement support project."
