en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ningbo has cumulatively built 159 national-level green factories and 12 green industrial parks, achieving phased results in the construction of a green manufacturing system. Based on its local industrial realities, the city has coordinated efforts to promote green manufacturing, forming a four-tier cultivation system involving national, provincial, municipal, and district (county) levels.
In terms of integrating intelligence and green development, Ningbo has incorporated the level of intelligent development into the evaluation indicators for green factories and green industrial parks, focusing on aspects such as digital energy consumption management and intelligent production line transformation. Meanwhile, the city has issued the "Artificial Intelligence+ Manufacturing" Typical Scenario Reference Guide, listing green and low-carbon application scenarios as core areas, guiding enterprises to integrate intelligent technologies and green processes in various stages such as R&D and design, production and processing, and supply chain collaboration. Currently, nearly 40% of the city's green factories at the provincial level and above have implemented artificial intelligence applications in key production processes. In terms of technological breakthroughs, the city has adopted a model of "chain-leading enterprises posing challenges, with industry-academia-research collaborative solutions," promoting the adaptation of AI to green production scenarios. For example, in the field of energy management, it encourages enterprises to develop and apply carbon emission management large models and build digital-intelligent dual-transformation collaborative service platforms.
To build a city-wide green manufacturing landscape, Ningbo has established a tiered and categorized gradient cultivation system, issuing documents such as a special implementation plan for green manufacturing system construction, evaluation criteria for star-rated green factories, and evaluation standards for green industrial park construction. Currently, the city has cultivated 3,316 three-star (district/county-level) green factories, 1,041 four-star (municipal-level) green factories, 257 five-star (provincial and national-level) green (low-carbon) factories, and 20 municipal-level and above green industrial parks. The city is also coordinating the cultivation of enterprises above designated size, aiming to achieve full coverage of green transformation for such enterprises by 2027. So far, 8,585 enterprises above designated size have undergone green upgrading and transformation, achieving a coverage rate of 81%. In guiding enterprises toward full-chain improvement, the city focuses on leading and backbone enterprises in key industries, encouraging them to develop green products and establish a full lifecycle production management model covering design and R&D, raw material selection, intelligent low-carbon production, green warehousing and logistics, and end-of-life recycling and utilization.
In terms of financial support, Ningbo, in collaboration with financial regulatory authorities, has issued a special implementation opinion on green finance empowering industrial green development, launching a "Green Factory Upgrade Loan" product. This has provided over 50 billion yuan in special green loans to 692 enterprises in the cultivation pool, reducing financing costs for enterprises by approximately 150 million yuan. The city also allocates special funds annually to support enterprises on the provincial and national green manufacturing lists, and uses enterprises' participation in green manufacturing construction as a basis for applying for municipal industrial support funds.
In the next steps, Ningbo will focus on key industries such as petrochemicals and high-end equipment, promoting its own green transformation while driving collaborative transformation among upstream and downstream suppliers, and continuously improving supporting policies such as green finance.
