Beijing Olympics Emphasizes cleanliness as a large amount of artificial snow “does not affect safety and the environment” (January 13, 2022)

Three weeks before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Games Organizing Committee emphasized that the large amount of artificial snow used to maintain the venue “does not affect safety and the environment.” On the 13th, the Games Organizing Committee explained the maintenance status and energy supply of the venue. For the first time in the Olympics, the enormous amount of electricity required at all 12 stadiums will be covered by clean energy such as wind power generation. It also means that the CO2 emissions at each venue will also meet international environmental standards. On the other hand, regarding the large amount of artificial snow at the venue, which has been pointed out to have an impact on the environment, the ratio of the amount of water used to the water resources in the area is small, and it “does not affect safety and the environment.”
