Additionally, industries such as chemicals and building materials have undergone capacity clearing, and policies aimed at controlling growth and stabilizing prices are enhancing profitability.

Group 3: Green Energy Transition - Everbright Securities notes that the transition from energy consumption dual control to carbon emission dual control in China, along with the implementation of the EU carbon tariff, will lead to a revaluation of carbon costs.

Non-electric applications in shipping fuel green alcohol, hydrogen storage, and carbon capture green ammonia, as well as hydrogen metallurgy, are likely to benefit from this trend [4].
