NDRC Supports Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Renovations in Key Industries Such as Power, Steel, Nonferrous Metals, Building Materials, Petrochemicals, Chemicals, and Machinery

On October 14, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Special Management Measures for Central Budget Investment in Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction." The measures mention energy conservation and carbon reduction projects in key industries. Support is provided for energy conservation and carbon reduction transformations in key industries such as electricity, steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials, petrochemicals, chemicals, and machinery. Support is also given for energy conservation and carbon reduction transformations that are systematically deployed and implemented on a large scale in industrial parks and industrial clusters. Additionally, support is offered for energy conservation and carbon reduction transformations in infrastructure such as heating and computing power. The measures mention clean substitution projects for coal consumption, supporting low-carbon transformations of coal-fired power units and coal chemical projects. Furthermore, support is provided for industries such as food, tobacco, textiles, paper, and dyeing to implement clean energy substitution for coal-fired boilers and industrial kilns. Support is also available for urban and rural residents to use geothermal energy and biomass energy for heating.
