Tight pollution controls affect major industries

By Zhang Yu and Wang Wei in Shijiazhuang (China Daily) Updated: 2015-09-10 07:52

Heavy industry in Tangshan, Hebei province, has been hit by efforts to control air pollution, with the value of its output dropping by 35.3 billion yuan ($5.5 billion) in the past two years, according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

That accounts for about 5.7 percent of the city's GDP in 2014, according to Tangshan's bureau of statistics.

Under pressure to curb pollution, the city has shut down 2,382 companies involved in the iron, steel, cement and coking industries.

It also lost 10 billion yuan in less than 10 days due to stopped or restricted production for 242 companies during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting held in Beijing last year.

Along with Tangshan, six other cities in Hebei - Xingtai, Handan, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Hengshui and Langfang - were listed among the most-polluted cities in the country.

In the face of serious air pollution, Hebei has been asked by the central government to reduce 60 million metric tons of iron and steel production - 75 percent of the nation's target - and 61 million tons of cement capacity by the end of 2017, as well as 40 million metric tons of coal consumption.

In 2014, production of about 15 million metric tons of iron and steel and 39 million tons of cement was cut, and coal consumption was reduced by 15 million tons.

As a result, the average concentration of PM2.5, airborne pollutants with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less, decreased by 12 percent in Hebei last year.

Some Hebei officials have claimed the measures have caused the economy to slow down.

In 2014, the GDP of the province grew by 6.5 percent, lower than the national 7.4 percent.

"The influence of controlling air pollution on the economy exists, but it's very limited, " said Ge Chazhong, a researcher at the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning under the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

According to Ge, the production capacity of these heavy industries is still excessive, and the utilization rate of productive capacity is less than 70 percent.

In addition, most of the eliminated production capacity came from already-struggling enterprises in the province, which would have little effect on the economy.

"On the contrary, controlling air pollution can help new sources of economic growth emerge, such as the environmental protection industry and new energy industry," Ge said.
