Guo Fa [2024] No. 12) &#8211; a cross-sector plan that explicitly calls for strengthening waste-heat and waste-pressure utilisation and optimising energy systems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steel Industry Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Special Action Plan<\/strong> (NDRC et al., Doc. Fa Gai Huan Zi [2024] No. 730) &#8211; targets &#8216;whole-process waste-energy utilisation&#8217;, higher self-generation from waste energy, and wider use of sinter and coke-oven waste-heat power.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sector plans for refining, synthetic ammonia and cement<\/strong> &#8211; the same five ministries jointly stress recovery of waste heat, steam and pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>From Voluntary to Mandatory<\/h2>\n<p>From August 2025, the updated industrial energy-saving supervision rules bring waste-heat recovery systems into mandatory inspection for key energy-using units. Combined with green finance, tax preferences for resource utilisation, and step electricity pricing by efficiency, the incentive structure now pushes recovery investment rather than discouraging it.<\/p>\n<h2>Park-Level Networks<\/h2>\n<p>A notable trend is centralised, park-level waste-heat supply: in 2025 more than 200 new park heating\/cooling networks were commissioned, adding several GW of recovered capacity, concentrated in East and North China. These networks aggregate low-grade heat from factories for district heating and process use.<\/p>\n<h2>Implication for Recovery Equipment<\/h2>\n<p>Policy is the single largest demand driver for air-to-air, plate, heat-pipe and run-around recovery equipment in China. For engineers specifying projects, aligning designs with the national efficiency benchmarks in these plans is increasingly a compliance requirement, not just a cost-saving option.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yc-related\">\n<h3>Related Articles<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.26yc.com\/verifying-chinese-heat-exchanger-certifications\/\">CE, AHRI, Eurovent: How to Verify a Chinese Heat-Exchanger Supplier\u2019s Claims<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.26yc.com\/en-308-test-procedure-air-to-air-heat-exchangers\/\">EN 308: Test Procedures for Air-to-Air Heat Transfer in Recovery Equipment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.26yc.com\/gb-t-21087-air-to-air-energy-recovery-china\/\">GB\/T 21087: China\u2019s Standard for Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Devices<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.26yc.com\/outdoor-air-ratio\" title=\"Outdoor Air Ratio: Why 100% Outside-Air Spaces Need Recovery Most\">Outdoor Air Ratio: Why 100% Outside-Air Spaces Need Recovery Most<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.26yc.com\/datacenter-liquid-cooling-heat-recovery\" title=\"Data Center Liquid Cooling Heat Recovery: Capturing Server Heat\">Data Center Liquid Cooling Heat Recovery: Capturing Server Heat<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What are China&#8217;s Dual Carbon, or 3060, goals?<\/strong><br \/>China pledged to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and reach carbon neutrality before 2060, with industrial energy efficiency as the central lever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which policies drive waste-heat recovery in China?<\/strong><br \/>The 2024 to 2025 Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Action Plan and the steel-sector special action plan both explicitly call for stronger waste-heat and waste-pressure utilization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is waste-heat recovery now mandatory in China?<\/strong><br \/>From August 2025, updated industrial energy-saving supervision rules bring waste-heat recovery systems into mandatory inspection for key energy-using units.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are park-level waste-heat networks?<\/strong><br \/>They are centralized networks that aggregate low-grade heat from factories for district heating and process use; over 200 new ones were commissioned in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 3060 Commitments China has pledged to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 (the &#8216;Dual Carbon&#8217; or 3060 goals).
