Case Study 2 - Hebei: Just two companies met emissions standard, more than 20% did not disclose their emissions data Hebei, a province of “steel cities”, has been sharply criticized in the past for the frequency of its heavy haze days. After consolidating our data, Greenpeace calculated there were 183 key state-monitored companies in the coal power, iron and steel and cement industries in Hebei in 2014. Greenpeace statistics show that: •
Only two of those met their emissions standards in Hebei;
•
As many as 56 companies seriously exceeded their emissions standards, that’s 30% of the total. Additionally, another 42 companies did not disclose their emissions data;
•
The key industries exceeding emissions standards are in the iron and steel and the coal power sectors;
•
In 2014, 36.4% of the coal power companies and 28.7% of the iron and steel companies in Hebei seriously exceeded their emissions standards.
