On October 13, the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government released the '15th Five-Year Plan' dedicated to energy conservation, carbon reduction, and the advancement of a circular economy in Shanghai. According to the plan, by 2030, Shanghai is set to accomplish its carbon peaking objectives as planned. This will be achieved through ongoing optimization of the energy mix, maintaining leading energy efficiency in crucial sectors, substantially enhancing dual-control management capabilities for carbon emissions, consistently reducing both carbon emission intensity and energy consumption intensity, markedly improving resource utilization efficiency, and refining the circular industrial and social system. These efforts will collectively lay a robust foundation for attaining carbon neutrality before 2060. The plan also delineates key tasks, including the full implementation of dual-control systems for total carbon emissions and intensity, bolstering digital and intelligent empowerment, expediting the research, development, and promotion of cutting-edge technologies, vigorously fostering non-fossil energy sources, and facilitating the transformation and upgrading of the industrial system.
