中国当局发布新排放规则，针对战略性行业包括AI数据中心，以实现2030年气候目标。此举正值伊朗战争强化能源安全需求之际。文件还要求提升数据中心和通信网络的能源效率。
中国国务院和中央委员会于周三发布文件，针对重工业和数字基础设施制定新排放规定，以推动2030年气候目标的实现。文件强调通过冷却系统升级和其他措施，提高数据中心和通信网络每单位计算能力的能源效率。
“数字基础设施的纳入值得注意，”能源与清洁空气研究中心高级顾问沈欣怡表示。“这反映出人们日益认识到，AI和数字化等新需求驱动因素可能成为能源消费的重要增量来源。”
重工业仍是主要焦点，因其在中国排放构成中占主导地位，沈欣怡补充说，更详细的行业目标可能随后出台。当天，中央委员会和国务院还发布新评估措施，要求地方政府制定减碳行动计划以达成气候目标。
文件承诺加强碳减排政策与产业规划的协调，包括利用数字和绿色技术升级传统产业。此举也回应了伊朗战争对能源安全的强化需求。

The output of China's core artificial intelligence industry exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan ($165 billion) in 2025, with more than 6,200 companies operating in the field, said Li Lecheng, head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The remarks came after the opening meeting of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing on Thursday.
Lu Tiezhong, chairman of China National Nuclear Power Co (CNNP), has proposed steady development of nuclear power to meet the surging energy demands of the AI industry and accelerate the construction of a modern energy system. In his submissions to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference this year, he highlighted that global tech giants are increasingly turning to nuclear energy to address high-energy consumption challenges from AI computing. As a stable, reliable, and zero-carbon baseload energy source, nuclear power is positioned to support high-load, nonstop facilities like AI data centers.

The Shanghai Advanced Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed an AI model that calculates China’s 2022 greenhouse gas emissions as 17.7% lower than a widely used United Nations equivalent, while raising the US total by 15.2%. The system factors in both production and consumption, lessening the responsibility of exporters such as China.
Premier Li Qiang delivered the government work report to China's National People's Congress on March 5, 2026, setting a 2026 GDP growth target of 4.5-5% and outlining priorities for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), including technological innovation, economic security, public well-being, energy production and decarbonisation. The report announced 20 growth targets across economy, technology, healthcare and more, plus 109 major projects in six areas—up from 102 previously—to support doubling 2020 per capita GDP by 2035.

A recent report examines claims by big tech companies that generative AI can help combat climate change, finding limited evidence to support them. Of 154 specific assertions, only a quarter referenced academic research, while a third offered no proof at all. The analysis highlights Google's 2023 claim of AI reducing global emissions by 5 to 10 percent by 2030 as an example.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang has called for implementing a new energy security strategy, advancing a new-type power grid, and optimizing the energy structure to support high-quality development. He made the remarks during a field survey in Sichuan province from March 30 to April 1, visiting Chengdu and Deyang.
