Ministry of Industry and Information Technology toughens Chinese cement production capacity reduction rules Written by Global Cement staff
23 December 2020
China: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has released tougher draft rules regulating how cement producers should decommission old production capacity before they build new capacity. Under the new guidelines cement companies must retire at least two tonnes of outdated capacity for each tonne of proposed new capacity in areas classified as environmentally sensitive, according to Caixin Global. Previously, the ratio was 1.5:1. In non-environmentally sensitive areas, at least 1.5 tonnes of obsolete capacity should be retired for every tonne of new capacity, an increase from the current ratio of 1.25:1.
