The report identifies significant gaps in the communication and implementation of China's energy-saving and low-carbon policies. While high-energy-consuming enterprises (over 10,000 tonne-ce/a) show better energy management and target-setting, a large number of general manufacturing firms lack technical guidance, funding, and awareness of available incentives. Key barriers include complex administrative procedures, a lack of predictable rewards, and insufficient professional third-party support. The authors recommend strengthening mandatory supervision for key emitters, lowering reward thresholds for smaller firms, establishing a collaborative partnership between government and third-party agencies, and upgrading technical guidance systems.
