Three companies from Ordos city, North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, have been selected for the region's first provincial-level zero-carbon factory cultivation program, highlighting the city's progress in promoting green manufacturing and low-carbon industrial development.

Zero-carbon factories aim to continuously reduce on-site carbon dioxide emissions through technological innovation, industrial upgrading, and improved management, ultimately moving toward near-zero emissions.

According to the Inner Mongolia Department of Industry and Information Technology, 16 companies were selected as 2026 provincial-level zero-carbon factory cultivation candidates following application, review, and public consultation procedures.

The selected companies operate across key industries, including photovoltaics, lithium batteries, rare earths, non-ferrous metals, and semiconductors.

The three Ordos-based companies are Ordos LONGi Photovoltaic Technology Co, Envision AESC Technology (Ordos) Co, and Ordos LONGi Silicon Materials Co.
