Policy Stance: Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation Fully Launched in Nine Major Industries

In June 2026, five departments, including the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, jointly issued the "Notice on Launching a Three-Year Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation in Key Industries" (NDRC Circular [2026] No. 698). This notice clearly states that starting in 2026, nine key industries—steel, electrolytic aluminum, cement, flat glass, oil refining, ethylene, synthetic ammonia, methanol, and coal-fired power—will be prioritized for comprehensive energy conservation and carbon reduction transformation over three years. According to the action plan, by the end of 2028, the proportion of production capacity in key industries such as flat glass that meets current energy efficiency benchmarks will increase by an average of 20 percentage points, and production capacity below the energy efficiency benchmark level will be essentially eliminated, resulting in cumulative energy savings of over 100 million tons of standard coal equivalent.

A relevant official from the NDRC pointed out that key industries have large-scale and high-intensity energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, making them crucial for improving energy efficiency, reducing coal consumption, and lowering carbon emissions. The notice focuses on key energy consumption links, promoting energy-saving and carbon-reduction upgrades in processes and equipment such as glass kilns, and driving green and low-carbon energy consumption. Starting in 2028, the scope of these upgrades will be further expanded to other industries such as data centers, machinery, textiles, and chemicals.

At the standards level, the national standard "Evaluation Requirements for Energy-Saving and Carbon-Reduction Technologies in the Flat Glass Industry" (GB/T 47395-2026) was released in March 2026 and will officially take effect on October 1st. Simultaneously, the "Work Plan for Stabilizing Growth in the Building Materials Industry (2025-2026)," jointly issued by six departments, clearly states that the operating revenue of green building materials will exceed 300 billion yuan in 2026.

This series of policy signals signifies that energy-saving specialty glass products are transitioning from an "optional" to a "must-have." For glass deep-processing enterprises, green and low-carbon transformation is no longer a choice, but a mandatory one.
