China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued an implementation plan for building a carbon-emissions dual-control system across industry and IT for 2026–2030, according to CCTV News as relayed by 36Kr. By 2030 the plan targets around 400 standards for carbon-footprint accounting of key industrial products, about 500 national-level zero-carbon factories and zero-carbon compute facilities, a 17%+ cut in CO2 emissions per unit of value-added for large industrial firms versus 2025, and a 10%+ drop in energy consumption per unit of value-added. TMTPost, citing an authorized piece by Yujian Energy, reports the plan names green-power direct connection and integrated source-grid-load-storage as guidance models for those zero-carbon factories and compute facilities, which it says is the first time direct green-power connection has entered the industrial carbon dual-control framework; the same article cites an official's figures that 24 provinces have approved over 400 direct-connection projects with fewer than 10% under construction.
