The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is openly seeking opinions on the draft regulation and management measures for the lithium battery industry. The draft regulation mentions that enterprises should formulate indicators for product-specific energy consumption and energy consumption accounts, and they are prohibited from using outdated energy-consuming equipment and production processes that are explicitly banned by the state and cause severe environmental pollution. The MIIT encourages enterprises to adjust their energy consumption structure, use clean energy sources such as photovoltaic power, build and apply industrial green microgrids, conduct research on energy-saving technology applications, formulate energy-saving rules and regulations, develop common and key energy-saving technologies, and promote energy-saving technological innovation and transformation of achievements.
