Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the issuance of the "Special Management Measures for Central Budget Investment in Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction," aimed at supporting projects that align with the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, promoting a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development [2][4]. Summary by Sections Special Support Areas - The special support focuses on key industry energy conservation and carbon reduction projects, clean substitution of coal consumption, circular economy initiatives, low-carbon, zero-carbon, and negative-carbon demonstration projects, and foundational capacity building for carbon peak and carbon neutrality [2][3][11]. Investment Proportions - The support ratio for key industry energy conservation and carbon reduction projects, clean coal substitution projects, circular economy projects, and low-carbon demonstration projects is set at 20% of the approved total investment. For local government projects related to carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the support ratios vary by region: 60% for the East, 70% for the Central, and 80% for the West and Northeast regions. Central and national agency projects are generally fully funded [3][14]. Funding Mechanisms - The central budget investment funds will be allocated through direct investment, capital injection, and investment subsidies based on actual conditions [3][8]. Project Eligibility and Requirements - Projects must be new or under construction with complete preliminary procedures and cannot be used for completed projects. The focus is on projects that can effectively contribute to energy conservation and carbon reduction [8][12]. Application and Approval Process - Provincial development and reform departments are responsible for project application and must establish a dynamic reserve mechanism for projects. They will select eligible projects from the national major construction project database for annual investment plan submissions [16][21]. Performance Monitoring and Evaluation - The National Development and Reform Commission will strengthen performance target reviews and monitoring of investment plans, ensuring that projects are supervised throughout their lifecycle. Any issues identified during evaluations will be addressed promptly, and performance evaluation results will influence future investment allocations [35][36].

Core Points - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has issued the "Special Management Measures for Central Budget Investment in Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction" [1] - The measures support the construction and renovation of park circular economy transformation, national "urban mining" demonstration bases, and resource recycling bases [1] Group 1 - The measures promote the establishment of standardized recycling stations and green sorting centers [1] - Support is provided for the recycling and comprehensive utilization of renewable resources and bulk solid waste, as well as the remanufacturing of retired equipment [1] - The measures encourage the resource utilization and energy utilization of agricultural and forestry by-products [1] Group 2 - The production and application promotion of biodegradable plastics and recyclable express packaging products are supported [1] - The construction of infrastructure and the production application promotion of bamboo substitutes for plastics are also encouraged [1]
