The Carbon Industry Standard Discussion Conference is set to be held in Beijing, with the first national standard scheduled for review and approval this year, according to the National Energy Administration. The conference, hosted by the China Energy Research Institute and Shanxi University, will focus on the development of the carbon industry standard.
On May 12, 2025, the China National Energy Administration will release the results of this review. The conference will bring together various stakeholders including representatives from government agencies, universities, and industry experts. Key attendees include officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources, National Energy Administration, and several universities and research institutions. The aim is to discuss the construction of high-quality standards for the carbon industry, ensuring its sustainable development.
The construction of the carbon industry has become a national priority. In 2024, the Central Economic Work Conference will introduce initiatives for building a “carbon industry zone.” By 2025, government work proposals are expected to emphasize the establishment of a carbon industry zone and the promotion of carbon manufacturing.
Experts believe that the current carbon industry zone construction faces several challenges, including technological pathways, carbon footprint calculations, and industry model disruptions. There is a pressing need for a systematic approach to establish the “foundation” necessary for healthy carbon industry development.
According to the China National Standards Institute, the Shanxi University, and the China Energy Research Institute, a guideline for carbon industry zone construction is currently under preparation, with plans to be finalized by this year. The guideline will include classifications, general principles, and construction systems for carbon industry zones, which will serve as a reference for directing the development of carbon infrastructures.
As the first national standard for carbon industries, this standard will play a critical role in promoting green and low-carbon transitions through systematic regulations, providing guidance for the construction of carbon industry zones, and paving the way for future development.
Moreover, the discussions will center around the role of the carbon industry in promoting sustainable development and the importance of collaborating with various stakeholders to enhance the standardization process.
In summary, the Carbon Industry Standard Discussion Conference will be a pivotal event to streamline efforts in the carbon industry, enabling China to effectively transition toward a low-carbon economy while providing a framework for the sustainable development of the carbon industry.
