Gwangyang City Supports Installation of Prevention Facilities in National Industrial Complex

Among Small and Medium Enterprises in National Industrial Complexes Emitting Air Pollutants

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gwangyang City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 10th that it will promote a support project for the installation of pollution control facilities for small and medium-sized enterprises emitting air pollutants within the national industrial complex to improve air quality, including fine dust.

This support for the installation of pollution control facilities is a pilot project for “wide-area unit air improvement support” promoted by the Ministry of Environment to enhance effectiveness, as the existing support project for small-scale business pollution control facilities had limitations due to dispersed support.

The project focuses on supporting the national industrial complex, where many businesses with high air pollutant emissions are concentrated, providing customized technical and financial support suitable for the conditions of each business.

The project targets small and medium-sized enterprises operating air emission facilities within the national industrial complex (Geumho-dong and Taein-dong), with a total project cost of 5 billion KRW, supporting 90% of the required costs per business and requiring a 10% self-payment.

Priority support targets include △businesses emitting fine dust and causative substances (dust, SOx, NOx), specific air hazardous substances △businesses operating pollution control facilities older than 10 years △businesses causing complaints located near residential areas △businesses installing joint pollution control facilities.

However, facilities installed in public institutions or public facilities, facilities installed within the last 3 years, and pollution control facilities supported by the government within the last 5 years (such as support for installing low-NOx burners) are excluded from support.

The city requested that many businesses within the national industrial complex participate in this project to reduce the burden of replacing pollution control facilities for small-scale businesses and improve the air environment by replacing outdated pollution control facilities.
