The "14th Five Year Plan" period is a crucial period for China to deepen the construction of ecological civilization, promote high-quality economic development through high-level protection of the ecological environment, continue to fight the battle against pollution, and lay the foundation for achieving the grand goal of carbon neutrality and the goal of building a beautiful China. As the world's largest country in terms of total carbon emissions, China's industry has not yet fully emerged from the development model of "high input, high consumption, and high emissions". Ecological and environmental protection still faces multiple pressures such as tightening resource and energy constraints and continuously improving environmental quality requirements for a long time. The energy conservation and environmental protection industry, as a strategic emerging industry with dual attributes of driving economic growth and addressing environmental issues, will become an important driving force for supporting China's supply side structural reform during the 14th Five Year Plan period. The scale of the industry will further expand and it will also enter the fast lane of high-quality development.

Trend 1: Green and low-carbon leading development, optimizing and accelerating energy structure. In September 2020, at the United Nations General Assembly, China announced its goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Optimizing the energy and industrial structure will become an important way to promote green and low-carbon industrial development during the 14th Five Year Plan period. On the one hand, energy consumption will maintain a low growth rate and low incremental development trend.

On the other hand, upgrading the industrial structure will accelerate the pace of high-frequency and high standard adjustments to the energy structure. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed that during the "Fourth Five Year Plan" period, the intensity of carbon emissions will be lowered, and areas with conditions will be supported to reach the peak of carbon emissions first. The optimization of industrial structure with high economic efficiency and low energy consumption as the main theme will become a key focus of the 14th Five Year Plan in various regions. Green industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection, clean production, and clean energy will usher in a new round of development opportunities

Trend 2: The level of green manufacturing has been improved, further promoting the construction of green factories and green parks. During the 13th Five Year Plan period, the construction of China's green manufacturing system has been basically completed. However, high energy consumption and heavy pollution industries such as electronics, petrochemical, automotive manufacturing, mechanical equipment, and steel refining still face problems such as insufficient penetration rate of product lifecycle concepts, incomplete construction of green manufacturing system standards, and bottlenecks in the core links of green manufacturing. Therefore, we need to strengthen the research and development of core key technologies to build more comprehensive green manufacturing technologies The technological system will become a key task in the construction of China's green manufacturing system during the 14th Five Year Plan period. Furthermore, key industry enterprises and industrial parks are still the main body of the green manufacturing system construction during the 14th Five Year Plan period. In the process of creating green factories, improving the level of clean production technology, improving the effectiveness of final treatment, enhancing the degree of pollutant resource utilization and harmless utilization, as well as in the process of creating green parks, Improving the proportion of renewable energy use and energy sample utilization rate, and promoting the improvement of digital and intelligent management level in parks will still be the key and difficult points that urgently need to be overcome in comprehensively promoting the construction of green manufacturing system during the 14th Five Year Plan period.
