The National Energy Administration issued the Energy Sector Energy Conservation
and Carbon Reduction Action Plan (2026–2028). It targets an average annual
increase of about 1 percentage point in China’s non‑fossil energy consumption
share through 2028; tighter control of coal consumption intensity at coal‑fired
power units and a goal to raise the share of coal‑fired capacity meeting current
efficiency benchmarks by about 15 percentage points; development of zero‑carbon
and low‑carbon coal and oil fields; support for zero‑carbon industrial parks;
and significant progress in energy savings and decarbonization in key industries
to boost green energy use.
