CHINA STATE PLANNER spokesman Li Chao said authorities will pursue parallel stock-and-flow measures to meet carbon peak and neutrality targets. On stock, a three-year energy-saving and carbon-reduction retrofit campaign will target nine sectors — steel, electrolytic aluminium, cement, flat glass, refining, ethylene, synthetic ammonia, methanol and coal power — to free space for new high-energy, high-emission ("two-high") projects through emissions-equivalent or emissions-reducing replacement.

CHINA STATE PLANNER spokesman Li Chao said authorities will pursue parallel stock-and-flow measures to meet carbon peak and neutrality targets. On stock, a three-year energy-saving and carbon-reduction retrofit campaign will target nine sectors — steel, electrolytic aluminium, cement, flat glass, refining, ethylene, synthetic ammonia, methanol and coal power — to free space for new high-energy, high-emission ("two-high") projects through emissions-equivalent or emissions-reducing replacement. On flow, new projects will be steered to optimize energy mix, expand green direct-supply models, raise non-fossil fuel use and cut carbon intensity. The planner will push local governments to boost investment in zero-carbon parks and zero-carbon transport corridors and accelerate ensuring new clean energy generation covers all incremental electricity demand to cultivate green, low-carbon growth drivers.
