  • Location: No. 2222 Jianshe Street, Wu'an City, Handan City, Hebei Province
  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 36.715632, 114.208992 (exact)

Background

After Xinjin Iron and Steel dismantled the original No. 2 blast furnace in 2021, without obtaining the relevant approval procedures such as energy assessment and environmental impact assessment, it illegally started construction of a new 1260m3 blast furnace involving a production capacity of 1.16 million tons. [1] This illegally built BF has removed in 2022.[2]
