China has issued a 17-point guideline aimed at accelerating its green and low-carbon transition by expanding and strengthening its national carbon trading market. The plan, announced on August 25, 2025, targets the inclusion of all major industrial sectors in the carbon market by 2027. This expansion will introduce absolute emissions caps starting in 2027 for some industries, enhancing the market's regulatory framework. Additionally, China plans to open the voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction market to all key fields. These measures are part of the country's broader efforts to achieve peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality. The initiative also aligns with China's 15th Five-Year Plan, which includes expanding virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems to support the green transition.
