零碳工厂建设“路线图”出炉

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and other departments have issued guidelines for the construction of zero-carbon factories, aiming for phased development and expansion into industries such as petrochemicals by 2030, promoting decarbonization and green transformation in various sectors [1][2]. Group 1: Zero-Carbon Factory Development - The construction of zero-carbon factories will be implemented in phases, with a focus on industries with urgent decarbonization needs and lower difficulty in achieving carbon neutrality [1][2]. - By 2026, a selection of zero-carbon factories will be established to serve as benchmarks, with further development in sectors like automotive, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, electronics, light industry, machinery, and computing facilities by 2027 [1][2]. - The expansion to high carbon intensity industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals, building materials, and textiles is planned for 2030 [1]. Group 2: Current Initiatives and Challenges - Over a hundred near-zero carbon factory pilot projects have been initiated across various regions, with industry associations developing over 30 group standards to guide construction and evaluation [2]. - Notable examples include Sinopec's zero-carbon factory in the southwest and the Jilin Oilfield's pilot zone producing over 410,000 tons of zero-carbon crude oil [2]. - Challenges such as inconsistent evaluation requirements, unverified key technologies, and weak carbon emission accounting foundations need to be addressed to enhance corporate motivation for energy saving and carbon reduction [2]. Group 3: Guidelines for Zero-Carbon Factory Construction - The guidelines propose six pathways for zero-carbon factory construction, including establishing a carbon emission accounting management system, accelerating the green transition of energy structures, and significantly improving energy efficiency [2]. - Other pathways include conducting carbon footprint analysis for key products, enhancing digital intelligence for carbon control, and implementing carbon offsetting and information disclosure for continuous improvement [2][3].
