China's promotion of zero-carbon factory construction does not require enterprises to achieve absolute zero emissions at this stage. Instead, carbon emissions are actually reduced through technological innovation, structural adjustment, and management optimization, and continuous reduction and gradual trend towards zero. Being selected for the national zero-carbon factory construction list does not mean that a zero-carbon factory has already been built; it is also necessary to continue to carry out technological transformation according to the construction plan, and finally go through evaluation and acceptance. The core indicators look not only at what level carbon emissions have been reduced, but also on how the energy structure has changed. The “Guiding Opinions on Carrying Out Zero-Carbon Factory Construction Work” clearly implements phased gradient cultivation. Starting in 2026, China will begin selecting a number of zero-carbon factories to play a benchmark role; by 2027, priority will be given to cultivating and constructing a number of zero-carbon factories in industries that are relatively less difficult to decarbonize, such as automobiles, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, light industry, machinery, and computing power facilities; by 2030, the scope of construction will gradually expand to high-energy industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals, building materials, textiles, etc., to explore new paths of decarbonization of traditional industries. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Construction of a Dual Carbon Emissions Control Working System in the Industrial and Information Technology Sector”, which proposes to formulate and implement about 400 carbon footprint accounting rules and standards for key industrial products by 2030, and build about 500 national zero-carbon factories and zero-carbon computing power facilities. The value-added carbon dioxide emissions of industrial units above scale will be reduced by more than 17% compared to 2025.
