China’s Shandong Province aims to eliminate 1.8 million mt of coking capacity in 2021 and eliminate four coke ovens with carbonization chamber heights of less than 5.5 meters, as announced in a press release by Shandong Provincial government.
At the same time, Shandong Province will tighten standards for energy-intensive industries, shut down production capacities that fail to meet the standards within a specific period, and will speed up the elimination of outdated production capacities.
