North China's Hebei Province has continued to reduce excess capacity with the number of steel production enterprises reduced from 107 to 68, and steel production capacity has been reduced from a peak of 320 million tons to less than 200 million tons, Hebei Daily reported on Wednesday.
Hebei Province has continued to cut overcapacity, committing to seeing through structural adjustment across six major industries of steel, coal, cement, flat glass, coke, and thermal power, which overfulfilled the goal for cutting overcapacity the 13th Five-Year Plan period.
The province is on track to achieve its goal of withdrawing iron and steel production from the city and relocating 150,700 workers with a resettlement rate of 100 percent, according to media reports.
Tangshan, the world's largest steel-producing city in Hebei, has implemented total volume controls on a pilot basis in the steel industry and gradually extended those controls to coking, cement, power and the foundry industry in March, aiming to reduce emissions, including carbon emissions, by more than 40 percent from 2020 levels.
