Mongolia's capital experiences severe air pollution due to Siberian wildfires www.xinhuanet.com

Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Air quality in the Mongolian capital city of Ulan Bator has been deteriorating dramatically due to smoke from massive wildfires raging in Russia's Siberia, authorities said on Monday.
"Air quality in the capital city is now reaching very unhealthy level. Today, the average density of PM 2.5 in the city stayed at 151.5 micrograms per cubic meter, which is 15 times above WHO exposure recommendation," the Mongolian national agency for meteorology and environment monitoring said in a statement.
The northern and central parts of Mongolia, including the capital city, have been covered with smoke since the middle of last week, which is from Russia's Siberian wildfires.

Bank of Mongolia signs a Memorandum of Understanding with Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs www.montsame.mn

The Bank of Mongolia signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO) concerning a technical assistance in selected areas of central bank operations.
The MoU enables the Bank of Mongolia to benefit from the Programme for Bilateral Assistance and Capacity Building for Central Banks (BCC), which is implemented by SECO. The Programme will contribute to strengthening capacities of Bank of Mongolia in monetary policy analysis and implementation, macroeconomic accounting and statistics, and bringing it up to the international benchmarks.
SECO is implementing BCC since 2013 in emerging countries to develop the analytical and technical capacities of central banks, e.g. in Albania, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Columbia, Morocco, Peru, Tunisia and Ukraine.
The MoU was signed by B. Lkhagvasuren, Governor of Bank of Mongolia, and Stefanie Burri (PhD), Head of Cooperation and Consular Section (on behalf of SECO).

Officials discuss restoring scheduled flights between Mongolia and South Korea www.montsame.mn

Per the air communications agreement between the Governments of Mongolia and the Republic of Korea, Mongolia-Korea air services consultations took place in Seoul, South Korea on August 2-3.
The consultative meeting was chaired by Head of the Department for Civil Aviation Policy and Implementation at the Ministry of Road and Transport Development Ch.Munkhtuya, and Head of the Aviation Policy Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of the Republic of Korea Yoon Jin-hwan. The sides exchanged views on measures being taken by the two countries’ governments and emergency commissions, challenges being faced in correlation with infection prevention guidelines, and restoring regular scheduled flights.
From 2022, designated airlines of the two countries (MIAT Mongolian Airlines from the side of Mongolia, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines from the side of South Korea) will begin conducting flights with a carrying capacity of 5,000 passengers between the months of June and September.
In its framework, the side of Mongolia will conduct 20 flights, while the side of South Korea will conduct 18 flights.
As for the rest of the year, the sides agreed to keep the current number of scheduled flights with a total carrying capacity of 2,500 passengers.
As flights are currently conducted to the cities of Seoul and Busan, the side of Mongolia has put forth a request to add the city of Murun in Khuvsgul aimag to the destinations in Mongolia. It was agreed to carry out a study on this matter, and hold a further discussion at the next meeting.
In connection with the new international airport being put into operation in Khushig Valley, they discussed having an operational safety inspection conducted at the airport by the South Korean ministry, and came to the decision to carry out the inspection in the near future.
The decision regarding the matter of restoring scheduled flights will be made based on the results of the operational safety inspection as well as the pandemic situation in the two countries.

Alaska National Guard wraps up 18-year partnership with Mongolia in Afghanistan www.webcenterfairbanks.com

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF) -July 2021 marked the end of a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan for members of the Alaska Army National Guard. It’s signaled the end of an 18-year partnership with the Mongolian Armed Forces in that region of the world.
The Alaska National Guard soldiers helped oversee the transfer of the New Kabul Compound to the Afghan Army. The deployment marked the last rotation of the Alaska guard liaisons working with the Mongolian Expeditionary Task Force in Afghanistan, according to a July 23 press release from the Alaska National Guard.
“I’m very grateful for the experience,” said Capt. Jessica Miller, a nurse with the Alaska Army National Guard Medical Detachment. “It was my first deployment. I learned a lot, and I’m very grateful.”
The deployment allowed Miller to expand her skills.
“I have a lot of experience in logistics now as a nurse with supply and base defense operations as well,” she said.
She also served as one of the liaisons that accompanied the Mongolian Expeditionary Task Force.
The partnership between Alaska and Mongolia started in early 2003 in Iraq. It continued when military operations moved to Afghanistan six years later in 2009.
“They are extremely hard workers, they’re extremely smart,” said Miller as she described her Mongolian counterparts. “They learned quickly, and they’re good people.”
“They’re a very resilient, very disciplined and very professional force,” said Sgt. 1st Class Juan Restrepo, who also served during the final deployment.
He’s a logistician in the guard’s Joint Force Headquarters. Restrepo believes the experience with the Mongolian Armed Forces will make him a better soldier.
“The learning experience that we brought back from Afghanistan will help us to mentor and guide the soldiers for future missions and training experiences,” Restrepo said.
Even though operations have ended for the U.S. and Mongolia in Afghanistan, the Alaska Army National Guard says training missions with Mongolia will continue.

Russia Has Earned $300M on Vaccine Exports So Far, Lags China www.themoscowtimes.com

Russia exported more than $300 million worth of vaccines in the first five months of the year, customs data shows — more than the entire value of vaccines sold in the previous three years combined.
The increase was driven by foreign sales of Russia’s flagship Sputnik V anti-coronavirus vaccine, with millions of doses shipped overseas to customers including Argentina, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Hungary and Serbia.
The figure also includes sales of non-coronavirus vaccines — mainly shots against yellow fever and flu. But the Trade Ministry told the RBC business site that the large jump in sales was mainly due to Sputnik V exports.
In the whole of 2019, Russia exported $60 million of vaccines — a figure which grew in 2020 to $70 million.
In the first five months of 2021, Moscow’s vaccine exports surged to a total of $304 million, according to customs data analyzed by RBC. That compares to just $10 million during the same period of 2020.
But amid production delays and numerous delivery issues among key Sputnik V customers, Russia’s growth in vaccine exports significantly lags the increases in sales registered by other countries exporting coronavirus shots.
China increased its vaccine exports almost 100-fold during the first five months of 2021 — selling $1.8 billion worth compared to just $19 million in the same period last year. While the European Union has sold $6.4 billion in vaccines outside the bloc, up from $4.3 billion, and the U.S. also exported more than $1.5 billion.
Russia is hoping a successful Sputnik V export drive could help the country break into the lucrative medical exports market, providing both a new income stream for coronavirus vaccines, and also opening the door for Russia to sell other pharmaceutical products around the world.

Around 50 pct of Mongolian children aged 12-17 fully vaccinated against COVID-19 www.xinhuanet.com

Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Nearly 50 percent of all Mongolian teenagers aged between 12 and 17 have received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines so far, according to a statement released by the country's ministry of education and science on Saturday.
Meanwhile, over 75 percent of about 290,000 teenagers in this age group have received their first doses of COVID-19 vaccines, it added.
In mid-June, Mongolia started vaccination for children on a voluntary basis with the consent of their parents or caretakers.
Students across the country will return to classrooms as the 2021-2022 academic year starts on Sept. 1, according to the ministry.
However, students in high-risk areas are expected to rotate in-person teaching and online classes on a weekly basis.

Siberian wildfire smoke causes PM levels to rise in some parts of Mongolia www.montsame.mn

Due to winds blowing from the north, clouds of smoke from the Siberian wildfires in Russia reached the central and eastern regions of Mongolia on August 4. With the air quality noticeably degrading from about 3 pm on August 4, the smoke began to clear out during the afternoon of the next day on August 5.
Air quality monitoring stations in Ulaanbaatar have detected that the average concentration of PM10 micro particles per hour reached 168 mkg/m3 during night time, with PM2.5 reaching 103 mkg/m3 as a result.
The hourly average concentrations of fine particulate matter was 38-69 mkg/m3 on August 4, which is 4-10 times more than the previous day, reported the National Agency of Meteorology and Environment.
However, the wildfire smoke entered the territory of Mongolia once again on August 7, reaching the capital city around midnight. The European Union’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) website shows that the smoke is forecast to cover the central and eastern regions of the country until the middle of next week.

US push for green energy could strand $68 billion in coal, gas assets – report www.mining.com

S&P Global Market Intelligence released a new report Friday that estimates that $34 billion in coal plant investment and another $34 billion in new gas plant construction could be at risk.
Recent pollution control investments in the coal fleet may be unrecoverable, S&P reports, and new combined-cycle gas plants built in the Midwest over the last 10 years may also become uneconomic, putting an estimated $68 billion in investments at risk.
While the past decade has seen US electric sector carbon emission declines, attributable mainly to the substitution of coal generation with natural gas generation, recent pricing trends indicate further emissions reductions via this avenue are unlikely, S&P says.
TO MEET AMBITIOUS DECARBONIZATION TARGETS SUCH AS THOSE IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S CLEAN ENERGY STANDARD, GREEN ENERGY WILL NEED TO EXPAND MUCH MORE RAPIDLY
The recent advancement of renewable mandates and regulatory support for retiring coal generation in parts of the country indicate that a new round carbon emissions reductions are on the horizon.
To meet ambitious decarbonization targets such as those in the Biden administration’s Clean Energy Standard, green energy will need to expand much more rapidly.
This push, S&P notes, could reduce the value of recent investments in pollution control equipment at coal plants.
According to the S&P Global Environmental Project Database, over 100 coal power plants totaling 130 GW – more than half the existing US coal-fired fleet – have undergone or are planning to undergo environmental retrofits in some form.
The financial hit of different types of retrofits can vary substantially but retrofits on larger plants to address multiple types of emissions can cost well over $1 billion, S&P reports.
A review of markets with strong renewable mandates and carbon emissions pricing indicates much of the US fleet of recently built natural gas generation could come under pressure as well.
This week, President Joe Biden announced plans to call for half of all vehicles sold in the US to be capable of emissions-free driving by the end of the decade, an ambitious goal that automakers say can only be achieved with bigger government investment in charging stations and other infrastructure.

Saeid Mollaei: Now, I am Mongolian www.news.mn

The first part of Mongolia’s Olympic team arrived back (4 August) from Tokyo to a warm welcome. A total of 40 people including judo, boxing, shooting, archery and weightlifting athletes landed at a new Chinggis Khaan International Airport around 11:00 p.m. Their places on the plane to Tokyo were taken by Mongolian marathon athletes, who are now in Japan.
Our journalist B.Munguntamir spoke to Saeid Mollaei, who won a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
-The Olympic Games was awesome. I am very happy now. Many Mongolians came here to welcome us. I hope all of them are happy as well. This silver is for Mongolians and is my first ever Olympic medal. I think this medal is the biggest gift to Mongolians from me. I was happy to hear my name announced as Mongolia’s Saeid Mollaei in Tokyo. Before I was competing for another country, now I am competing for Mongolia. Now, I am Mongolian. I forget my past. The present is more important for me. Thank you all of those are supporting me.
I talked with my family. I am not sure that my family will be able to come to Mongolia or not.
Now, I want a rest. Then, I will start everything over again. I will prepare to compete in the next Olympics. I promise to win gold medal at the next Olympics. For now, I will take a rest in Mongolia some time. I have many friends here. I know my Mongolian name. You guys gave me Mongolian name ‘Molom’. I like the name.
Born in Iran, Saeid Mollaei sought asylum in Germany after he was ordered in a Tokyo 2019 semi-final to intentionally lose so as to avoid a potential finals match against Israeli world champion Sagi Muki. Later he accepted Mongolian citizenship.
