Repost | Implementation Plan for the National Carbon Peak Pilot (Chengdu)

What does your vision of Chengdu in 2030 look like? Is it a park city with blue skies and flowing green waters, or a low‑carbon metropolis crisscrossed by rail lines and bustling with new‑energy vehicles?

 

Recently, the “National Carbon Peak Pilot (Chengdu) Implementation Plan” was officially released, outlining a clear and detailed roadmap for Chengdu’s green future. This is not merely a policy document; it is also a “green pledge” addressed to all residents of Chengdu. Next, let’s highlight the key points and explore how this profound transformation will shape our daily lives.

Numbers Speak for the Future: Chengdu’s “Green Mini-Goals” for 2030

 

The plan sets out a series of ambitious, quantifiable targets, giving us a clear vision of what Chengdu will look like in six years:

Traveling is greener: The proportion of green travel in the city has reached 79% , the share of new-energy vehicles on the road will reach 60% , and concurrently constructed over 500,000 Charging station.

The park has become even more “zero-carbon”: Will be completed 20 pieces A near-zero-carbon-emission industrial park has been established. 260 companies National- and provincial-level “Green Factories.”

Energy has become cleaner: Electricity will become the dominant energy source, accounting for 55%。

Waste has been turned into a resource: Municipal solid waste 87% All of them can be turned into resources, truly achieving the transformation of waste into valuable assets.

Cities have become more “park-like”: The total length of the Tianfu Greenway across the city will be extended to 13,000 kilometers , the green space ratio in the built-up area has reached 39.5% 。

Four major initiatives, transforming you and me.
 

 

To achieve these goals, Chengdu will focus its efforts on four areas closely tied to residents’ daily lives:

Energy “blood transfusion”: Vigorously develop photovoltaic and hydrogen energy, promote the “build‑as‑much‑as‑possible” deployment of rooftop solar installations in industrial parks, and accelerate the establishment of a “30‑minute hydrogen‑refueling network,” making clean energy the backbone of urban operations.

Industrial “Renewal”: Focusing on cutting-edge energy sectors such as lithium‑ion batteries, hydrogen energy, and next‑generation energy storage, the city aims to reach a total industrial scale of RMB 200 billion by 2027, positioning green industries as Chengdu’s new hallmark.

Living “Low-Carbon”: Adhering to the principles of “rail transit as the backbone and public transport as the priority,” we will deliver diversified public‑transport services. At the same time, we will vigorously promote green building practices, with star‑rated green buildings accounting for over 60% of all new constructions.

Green consumption: The government will vigorously promote green procurement and continue to implement initiatives such as the “trade-in program for consumer goods,” encouraging each of us to adopt a green, low-carbon lifestyle.

Policy support fuels the pursuit of a carbon‑neutral future.

 

This time, Chengdu has not only set clear targets but has also introduced a series of innovative support policies:

Institutional Innovation: It will explore the establishment of a carbon‑emission budgeting and carbon‑assessment system, setting a “carbon threshold” for project access.

Digital Empowerment: A carbon‑energy management platform and the “Carbon Benefits Tianfu” platform have been established. Citizens can earn carbon credits through eco‑friendly actions and redeem them for rewards, turning low‑carbon living into a tangible, market‑driven experience.

Financial Support: Vigorously develop green credit and support the issuance of carbon-neutral bonds, using real capital to provide robust financial backing for green projects.

This green transformation in Chengdu is not only about industrial development; it also touches every aspect of our daily lives. From choosing public transportation and participating in waste sorting to purchasing eco-friendly products, we are all both participants in and witnesses to this park city’s journey toward carbon neutrality.

The future is already here; the road lies beneath our feet. Chengdu Zhongjiancai is always walking hand in hand with green development. Let us look forward to and strive together, working hand in hand to build a greener, more beautiful, and more sustainable new Chengdu!
