Chinese Steel Producers to Curb Output in Preparation for 2022 Winter Olympics
08/12/2021 - China’s top steelmaking center, Tangshan, will limit production to ensure blue skies for Beijing’s Winter Olympics in 2022.
According to Bloomberg, Tangshan will extend existing steel curbs to 13 March 2022 to ensure good air quality for the Games. Steelmakers in Tangshan account for 8% of global output. They will have to keep in place production curbs ordered this year, which are due to expire at the end of December.
Air pollution in Tangshan is expected to fall by at least 40% year on year in the days leading up to and during the Games, which start on 4 February.
Tangshan is about 90 miles from the Beijing National Stadium that will host the opening ceremony.
