The country’s second-largest steel producer, Anben Iron and Steel Group, will focus on high-end products used in cars and computer chips as it boosts crude steel production capacity by 65% over the next five years, the South China Morning Post reported. The move represents a repositioning of Anben’s output as it works to conform to government requirements for the closure of heavy polluting and high energy consuming facilities producing low-end construction steel. While crude steel capacity increases to 30 million tonnes by 2010, the company will shut down 7.27 million tonnes of outdated iron-producing capacity and 4.85 million tonnes of crude steel capacity over the same period. Beijing wants to reduce energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20%, major pollutants by 10% and water consumption per unit of industrial value addition by 30% over the next five years.
