It is reported that Shougang will cease steel production for the most part in Beijing during the 2008 Olympic Games and will then wind down its 8 million tonnes of capacity before the deadline of 2010.

As per report, back to 2005 some heavy polluting enterprises including Shougang were listed in the catalogue of relocation plan by the government. Just in the same year, Shougang and Tangshan Steel jointly set up Shougang Jintang Corporation in Hebei province, namely the new Shougang. From then on, the moving of Shougang got afoot.

The new established steel company has also caused 35 small severe polluting steelmakers in Hebei to be shut down equal to an annual capacity of 7.3 million tonnes. The move can reduce 18,000 tonnes of inhalant particles for Beijing each year, equal to 23% of the total volume of the city, and 23,000 tonnes of coal powder and 24,000 tonnes of sulfur dioxide for Tangshan district, Hebei province.
