Shenzhen Green and Low Carbon Industrial Policy
As a national funded innovation demonstration zone, Shenzhen took the lead in listing new energy as an emerging industry as early as 2009, and listed green and low-carbon as one of the seven strategic emerging industries in 2018. After more than 10 years of vigorous cultivation, the added value of green and low-carbon industries reached 138.7 billion yuan in 2021.
By 2025, Shenzhen will strive to become a nationally leading and internationally first-class green and low-carbon industry innovation and development highland, with the added value of the new energy industry reaching 100 billion yuan. In order to achieve this goal, Shenzhen has introduced measures to promote high-quality development of low-carbon industries. At the press conference, Guo Ziping, Director of the Shenzhen Development and Reform Commission, emphasized that the measures mainly cover four major sectors:
Focusing on key links in the industrial chain, actively creating a source of technological innovation in green and low-carbon industries, providing funding for projects to create national industrial innovation centers, technological innovation centers, and manufacturing innovation centers in green and low-carbon key areas, and encouraging leading enterprises to collaborate with universities, research institutions, and form task-based innovation consortia.
Support the promotion and application of new technologies, products, models, and formats in green and low-carbon industries. Accelerate the application and promotion of green and low-carbon industry achievements, and accelerate the process of marketization of the four new technologies.
Provide policy support to recognized green and low-carbon industrial characteristic parks, simplify the approval process for project approval, and reward parks that have formed demonstration effects. At the same time, encourage various industrial parks to carry out green and low-carbon circular transformation, and establish incentive mechanisms linked to energy conservation, water conservation, and carbon reduction in the parks. In terms of talent cultivation, we will vigorously build a talent system that is suitable for the development of green and low-carbon industries. In terms of green finance, industrial funds will be established to provide financing and credit enhancement services, provide green loan discounts, and actively guide social resources to tilt towards green and low-carbon industries.
Actively support enterprises to participate in professional exhibitions, trade fairs, technical industry service promotion conferences in key fields in developed countries and key markets along the "the Belt and Road", help enterprises to expand overseas markets, seize international orders, and enable Shenzhen enterprises to achieve better development overseas.
