It is reported that 48 generator sets of 13 companies with capacity of 13.65 MW of Datang are included in the Olympic air quality control projects, with estimated total investment being CNY2.5 billion, which will reduce dust emissions 10,000 tons and carbon dioxide by 50,000 tons during the Beijing Olympics.
