On April 17, reporters learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) that to accelerate energy conservation and carbon reduction transformations in key industries and fields, and continuously promote improvements in industrial energy efficiency and reductions in carbon emissions, MIIT is organizing the 2025 Industrial Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Diagnostic Services initiative.

It is reported that the diagnostic services will focus on industries such as ethylene, synthetic ammonia, calcium carbide, polysilicon, lithium batteries, and electronic appliances, as well as information infrastructure such as data centers and communication base stations. Energy conservation and carbon reduction service institutions will be organized to provide public welfare diagnostic services for enterprises in these sectors.

Energy conservation and carbon reduction service institutions should identify shortcomings and weaknesses in enterprises′ production processes, key product equipment, energy consumption structures and energy system optimization, as well as energy management and carbon management system construction. On this basis, they should propose recommendations for energy conservation and carbon reduction transformation measures in technical, equipment, and management aspects, providing replicable and scalable systematic solutions for enterprises at different development stages across various industries. Meanwhile, service institutions are encouraged to carry out continuous follow-up services for enterprises that have received industrial energy conservation diagnostic services since the 14th Five-Year Plan period, promoting the implementation of energy conservation transformation recommendations. They are also encouraged to conduct product carbon footprint accounting in accordance with published national standards, industry standards, and recommended group standards related to product carbon footprints.
