European Chamber Heating Desk Meeting with the Beijing Environment Bureau/BCEMA/Beijing Gas on Heating Appliance
2024-01-30 | Beijing
In December 2022, Beijing launched a carbon reduction plan for civil buildings, which stipulated a gas heating policy, including the renovation of existing wall-hung boilers. New projects will no longer promote wall-mounted boiler heating and existing ones will be renovated and replaced. On January 17th, 2023, a list of prohibited building materials was released in Beijing, prohibiting the use of wall-hung boilers below level 2. It will be implemented on March 1st, 2024. Gas heating, prohibiting air source heat pumps below level 3; Non-variable frequency and two-stage combustion burners are prohibited for large boilers; Must use gas wall-hung boilers with level 1 energy efficiency and level 5 emissions (technical standard); The next step is for the urban management committee to provide suggestions on bidding and standards, which will be timelier and more effective.
The Heating Working Group of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China (European Chamber ECHI) exchanged views with the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureaus on the promotion of wall-hung boilers in the Beijing area and drafted topics which were submitted to the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau. The basic policies have been clarified, and the Heating member needs to consider how these measures will be implemented. The discussion is divided into four topics and continues for 3 hours.
