China’s central government listed “boosting consumption…and stimulating domestic demand” as its first “major task” for 2025, at the recently closed “two sessions”.
As part of this focus – and amid slowing economic growth – the State Council made specific mention of China’s “two new” (两新) policy.
The policy was first announced in 2023, but was heavily promoted last year. President Xi Jinping reportedly “stressed the importance” of a national recycling company as part of the policy in 2024, because it “facilitates green, low-carbon and circular development”.
Carbon Brief explains what the policy is, how it works and what its impact will be. An abridged version of the article appeared in China Briefing on 20 March.
What is ‘two new’?
The “two new” policy is short for “large-scale equipment upgrades and trade-in of consumer goods”. It is designed to boost domestic demand to prop up growth, at the same time as improving the efficiency of equipment so as to lower emissions.
According to the Communist party’s leading magazine on ideology Qiushi, the idea was first raised in 2023 at an economic conference held by the State Council for “improving technology, energy consumption, emissions and other standards”.
It became well-known after Xi reiterated the idea in early 2024. In March 2024, the policy then became an “action plan – a document illustrating specific methods for executing a political goal.
Prof Bai Quan, director of energy transition at the Academy of Macroeconomic Research – a research institution under the direct supervision of the State Council – told Carbon Brief in 2024 that there are four aspects of “two new”:
- Updates to equipment such as large boilers, turbines, heat pumps and lighting used for manufacturing;
- Trade-in of consumer goods, including fridges and air conditioners;
- Recycling of old or high-emission items;
- Improving standards for product efficiency and emissions, as well as for recycling, “to prevent people from re-purchasing outdated equipment with low energy efficiency”.
He added that the first three aspects directly “promote carbon reduction” and the last one “indirectly serves energy saving and carbon reduction goals”.
Under the policy, government subsidies are provided for manufacturers and consumers to trade-in old inefficient goods and purchase new ones. Other financial and tax support is given to recyclers to increase recycling.

In 2025, the State Council updated the “two new” policy and increased the funds available to consumers and businesses.
It also expanded the range of trade-in products, adding more and older petrol cars for instance, as well as pledging to release a more detailed trade-in standard covering 294 items by the end of the year.
Li Gang, an official from the Ministry of Commerce, is quoted by the state news agency Xinhua saying at the press conference on the expansion that it would “help stimulate consumer spending and boost domestic demand. All enterprises, domestic or foreign-funded, private or state-owned, are welcome to participate in the scheme.”
How does equipment upgrade work?
A fundamental mechanism of “two new” is providing funding that enables consumers and businesses to trade-in and upgrade goods, as well as recycling the old equipment.
For example, under the policy, a consumer can trade in an old, inefficient petrol car and receive subsidies to upgrade to a new electric vehicle (EV) instead.
The government “work report” delivered by premier Li Qiang at the “two sessions” says that “ultra-long special treasury bonds totaling 300bn yuan ($41bn) will be issued to support consumer goods trade-in programmes” in 2025.
Meanwhile, another 700bn yuan ($96bn) will be allocated for a sister programme, known as “two major [projects]” (两重), which supports infrastructure construction, including roads and railways.
In a more detailed “two new” paper, the State Council says it will provide about 90% of the funds and the rest shall be covered by local governments.
A sum of cash will be given when old “high-emission” goods, such as ships, trucks, tractors and buses, are sent for recycling, depending on the age and emission levels. Some discounts will also be given when purchasing new lower-emission replacements.
Separately, companies can apply for a low-interest loan for large-scale equipment upgrades.
The State Council paper also eases the rules around low-interest loans for equipment upgrades, making it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises to access them.
According to the paper, projects that can apply funds from the cash pool include “equipment renewal in the field, as well as energy conservation, carbon reduction and safety transformation in key industries”, such as transports and agriculture.
The policy also allocates around 7.5bn yuan ($1bn) for the “recycling and treatment of waste electrical and electronic products”. This extends beyond the list of trade-in items.
How does ‘two new’ support recycling?
As the world’s largest renewable energy producer, China has so far built some 1,408 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar capacity. About 35m tonnes of waste from decommissioned wind and solar equipment will need to be recycled in China by 2030.
A research paper in the journal Waste Management suggests building up sufficient capacity to recycle this waste could generate “significant economic benefits”.
However, Shanghai-based outlet the Paper reports that only a limited number of recyclers are on the market, due to the high costs and long payback periods.
Despite Beijing issuing policies in 2023 and 2024 to encourage businesses, a stronger recycling market is needed for “advancing” the “two new”, according to prof Du Huanzheng, director of the Circular Economy Research Institute of Tongji University.
In 2024, a state-owned recycling company, China Resources Recycling Group, was established to handle scrap steel, EV batteries and decommissioned renewable energy equipment.
But “challenge[s]” remain for private recyclers, Bai told Carbon Brief. One obstacle is missing a “first receipt”, which is the purchase receipt from manufacturers that enables recyclers to claim value-added tax deductions, he said.
A supporting policy for the “two new” from 2024 allows qualified recyclers to use their purchasing invoice in place of “first receipt” for tax claims.
Bai said this policy “solved the problem” and “is a very important incentive to meet the 2027 goals” of the “two new” policy.
The 2027 goals, written by the State Council, include a 25% increase in new equipment investment across key sectors and a doubling in the share of cars being recycled:
“By 2027, the scale of equipment investment in industries such as industry, agriculture, construction, transportation…will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023; the energy efficiency of major energy-consuming equipment in key industries will basically reach the energy-saving level, and the proportion of production capacity with environmental protection performance reaching Class A will be greatly increased…The amount of scrapped cars recycled will increase by about one-fold compared with 2023.”
How does trade-in work under ‘two new’?
Li Shuo, director of China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI), tells Carbon Brief that this is not the first time China used subsidies and “similar initiatives” to “stimulate consumption, address product oversupply and enhance energy efficiency”.
In 2025, the categories of eligible trade-in goods under “two new” is expanding from eight to 12, including mobile phones and fridges that are closely related to daily usage. Up to 500 yuan ($70) subsidies apiece can be applied when purchasing new digital products from 2025.
Electric vehicles (EVs), which can greatly decarbonise road transport, remain on the list. In addition, scrappage subsidies have been extended to more and newer types of petrol cars – including cars registered from 2012-14 rather than 2011-2013.
Li adds that the latest expansion of the policy “highlights the rapid pace of industrial upgrades in China and the mutually reinforcing dynamics of industrial productivity, a favorable regulatory framework, and the sheer scale of the Chinese market”.
Bloomberg says that “the cash-for-clunkers program gave a big boost to sales – especially of EVs and hybrids – after its introduction last year” and “manufacturers and investors had been eagerly waiting to see whether the subsidy” would be renewed in 2025.
The buyer rebates for vehicles, including EVs and more efficient petrol cars, remain at the same level as in the second half of 2024, after a rise last August.
Buyers can receive up to 20,000 yuan ($2,730) for EVs and plug-in hybrids or 15,000 yuan ($2,073) for petrol cars with an engine smaller than two litres.
(The Chinese EV industry receives a complicated range of subsidies, read more in Carbon Brief’s Q&A on the sector.)
What is the impact?
Xinhua says that the trade-in scheme boosted sales of cars in 2024, with new energy vehicles (NEVs, mainly EVs and plug-in hybrids) accounting for more than 60% of the new vehicles bought under the initiative in 2024.
Meanwhile, products certified with the “highest energy-efficiency level” made up more than 90% of sales by revenue under the home appliance trade-in scheme, adds the report.
An analysis by Goldman Sachs says the trade-in subsidies have “accelerated” the rising share of NEVs in Chinese car sales. It says the policy will help raise the NEV share from 48% in 2024 to about 60% in 2025.
Subsidies for NEVs under “two new” have amounted to 90bn yuan ($12bn), accounting for about 60% of the total “trade-in money”, according to Goldman Sachs.
In his 2024 analysis for Carbon Brief, Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at the Centre lead analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), wrote that the trade-in subsidy scheme would “free up household cash for other types of spending, but it also directs household spending in the most energy-intensive direction”.
He tells Carbon Brief that the policy, after the 2025 expansion, is still a “much more limited measure than the kinds of income transfers that would be needed to substantially boost the role of household consumption in driving economic growth”. He adds:
“[It] targets the most energy-intensive part of household spending, purchases of energy-intensive manufactured goods, while leaving out spending on services and other less energy intensive sectors.”
Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater China from market research firm ING, tells Carbon Brief that it is “hard to quantify [the impact of ‘two new’] until we have more specifics rolled out such as what level of subsidies will be applied”. He says:
“The 300bn budget for the programme sounds a little small at first thought – under 1% of total retail sales last year – but it will boost sales beyond the 300bn [yuan] spent, so it should result in a fairly significant bump in my view.
“Looking at last year’s performance once the policies started ramping up in the second half of the year, we saw autos and home appliances easily outperform the headline retail sales growth.”
Song adds that the trade-in subsidies under “two new” can “lead to improved demand for these categories this year”.
In his 2024 interview with Carbon Brief, Bai called the “two new” a “sign” of the government using policy support to stimulate lower-carbon consumption. He added:
“Another vital policy is the ‘guidelines to ramp up green transition of economic, social development’… It is a blueprint of China’s transition in industry, building [construction], transportation, energy and many other areas. Together with the ‘two new’, which is an implementation document for this top-level design, we now have both a direction and a manual for the energy transition.”
The guideline aims to “achieve ‘remarkable results’ in the green transition” by 2030 and establish a “green, low-carbon and circular development economic system” by 2035.
(Read more about the guideline in China Briefing.)
An official release says that the “two new” policy “saved about 28m tonnes of standard coal and reduced carbon dioxide [CO2] emissions by about 73m tonnes” in 2024. It says the “effect” of supporting the low-carbon transition was “obvious”.

Q&A: How China’s ‘two new’ policy aims to help cut emissions
Marcelo Behar is the COP30 Special Envoy for Bioeconomy and co-founder of Ambition Loop Brazil.
Can we be the generation to end the rampant deforestation that is harming the planet’s ecosystems and climate? Back in February, the Brazilian COP30 Presidency opened a call for submissions on its proposed Roadmap for Halting Deforestation and Forest Degradation, which closes today.
What might look like a technical step quickly drew significant attention, with more than 100 responses submitted by governments, civil society organisations, businesses and other stakeholders.
This level of engagement is telling. It reflects both the urgency of the issue and the recognition that this process could shape whether the global goal to end deforestation by 2030 finally moves from ambition to delivery.
As a Brazilian, I see this moment with both pride and realism. Brazil has played a central role in elevating forests on the climate agenda, and the COP30 Presidency has shown leadership in carrying this issue forward far beyond the Belém summit.
COP30 rainforest fund unlikely to make first payments until 2028
But last year also offered a sobering signal. Despite strong efforts from the Brazilian Presidency, the proposed roadmap did not secure consensus in the final outcome of COP30. That outcome underlined a simple truth: while there is broad recognition of the importance of forests, agreeing on how to move forward remains complex. The road ahead is still long and likely uneven.
That is precisely why this moment matters.
Progress on commitments falling short
The world is not short of commitments. Over the past decade, countries have repeatedly pledged to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030. There is a growing body of experience through the REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) programme, including the emergence of jurisdictional approaches that are beginning to connect forest protection with finance at scale.
Initiatives such as the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership have helped sustain political attention and cooperation among countries, while national strategies continue to evolve, and Indigenous Peoples and local communities remain at the forefront of protecting forests.
And yet, progress is still falling short.
The gap is not only one of alignment. It is also one of political will – and of having a credible, shared pathway that brings together these efforts in a way that drives implementation at scale.
Civil society is watching this process closely. For many organisations working across climate, nature and conservation, this is not just another initiative – it is a priority. After years of advocating to end deforestation, there is a strong sense that this moment cannot be lost. The expectation is clear: this roadmap must move beyond intention and help unlock real progress.
The opportunity now is to ensure that it does exactly that. This cannot become another report.
Implementation key to roadmap success
A detailed assessment of pathways and challenges, however valuable, will not be enough to change outcomes on the ground. What is needed is an implementation roadmap, one that connects existing commitments, aligns incentives and provides clarity on how to move from ambition to delivery between now and 2030.
The consultation process is an important step. But its value will ultimately be judged by what it produces.
If the roadmap is to succeed, several priorities should guide its development.
-
With no COP30 roadmap, hopes of saving forests hinge on voluntary initiatives
The world is falling short of a target to halt deforestation by 2030, but the “Amazon COP” failed to agree a concrete global plan to save rainforests despite backing by over 80 nations -

First: policy. It must be designed as a tool for implementation. That means going beyond diagnosis to define concrete action: who needs to act, by when, and how progress will be tracked. The solutions are not new, but coordination has been missing.
Second: accountability. It should bring coherence to the existing landscape. The value of a roadmap lies not in creating new commitments, but in connecting what already exists: global targets, REDD+ experience, national action plans, Indigenous leadership and supply chain initiatives. Reducing fragmentation is essential to accelerating delivery.
Early milestones needed
Third: finance. It must be grounded in economic reality. Halting deforestation will not happen without addressing the incentives that underpin it. Aligning public finance, private investment, and market demand with forest protection is not a technical detail; it is the core of the transition.
Fourth: transparency. Legitimacy will depend on openness. A credible roadmap cannot be developed behind closed doors. Governments, Indigenous Peoples and local communities, civil society, business and finance actors all have a role to play and must be able to see how their contributions shape the outcome.
Fifth: urgency. Progress must be visible in 2026. Without early milestones, momentum will fade. By the time climate negotiators gather in Bonn mid-year, the roadmap should have a clear structure, priority actions and growing political backing.
Governments must deliver on the plan
Finally, countries themselves will need to step forward. Last year’s outcome showed that support alone is not enough. Delivering this roadmap will require active political engagement. That means governments that are willing not only to participate in the process, but to help shape and implement it.
Brazil has created an important opening. It has also taken on the responsibility that comes with leadership: to help turn a widely supported idea into something that can deliver in practice.
The commitment to end deforestation by 2030 already exists. What is still needed is a path. And the courage to walk it.

How a Brazil-led roadmap can rescue global pledge to halt deforestation
A US biofuels producer that exports “green” aviation fuel to Britain and the European Union has purchased beef tallow from a Brazilian supply chain tied to illegal deforestation in the Amazon, shipping data and a court document show.
Diamond Green Diesel (DGD), a major provider of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel, has sourced hundreds of thousands of tonnes of beef tallow from Brazil, alongside waste fats from other sources, over the last three years, as global demand for biofuel feedstocks soars.
Reporting by Unearthed and nonprofit investigative outlet Repórter Brasil reveals DGD’s connection to a rendering plant that has sourced supplies from a meatpacker fined for buying cattle from an illegally deforested Amazon reserve. A previous investigation by Reuters and Repórter Brasil found DGD had bought animal fat from two other rendering factories linked to supplies of cattle from illegal ranches.
The newly identified factory, Pacífico Indústria e Comércio de Óleos e Proteínas Ltda, which is based in Cacoal, a small city in the far-western Amazon state of Rondônia, has been supplied by Rondônia meatpacker DistriBoi, a 2022 court document shows.
DistriBoi was fined two years ago for illegally purchasing cattle from the state’s Jaci-Paraná conservation reserve, which has been ravaged by illegal ranching.
There is no suggestion that the companies involved were aware of deforestation at farm level. But the findings suggest a traceability gap in the supply chain of feedstocks for sustainable fuels, where cattle by-products are subject to less oversight than the primary commodities of the cattle industry, such as meat and leather.
Pristine rainforest blanketed the Jaci-Paraná reserve when it was created 30 years ago to protect traditional forest activities such as rubber tapping and nut harvesting.
Today, illegal ranching has devoured nearly 80% of its forest cover and it has become a notorious example of the devastation wrought by land grabbers in the world’s largest rainforest.
“The damage to biodiversity has been devastating,” said local Indigenous activist Neidinha Suruí, who featured in the 2025 Emmy Award-winning documentary “O Território”.
“It is sad to see what has been lost,” she said.
Greener air travel?
The “renewable diesel” and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that are being exported by DGD – a joint venture between US oil refiner Valero Energy Corp and Texas-based Darling Ingredients – are classed as “green” because they are made from feedstocks classified as waste, including tallow, which consists of fat separated from cattle carcasses.
Many governments and airlines are pinning their hopes for greener flying on SAF made with organic waste materials, including Britain which introduced a compulsory blending requirement last year.
Top green jet fuel producer linked to suspect waste-oil supply chain
Air travel accounts for about 2.5% of global carbon emissions and in contrast to other transport sectors that can be electrified, shrinking aviation’s carbon footprint is much more difficult.
Waste products such as beef tallow and used cooking oil (UCO) are considered the greenest of viable SAF feedstocks on the grounds that they do not create competition with foodstuffs such as soy oil or palm oil, nor increase deforestation pressure.
But there is concern that the global rush to ramp up SAF use could indirectly exacerbate deforestation pressure by increasing demand for feedstocks such as tallow and UCO.
That could increase the profit margins of cattle ranches – including illegal ones – and have other unintended consequences, such as encouraging fraud in supply chains, as Climate Home News has reported.
An investigation published in March by Climate Home News and Swedish broadcaster SVT found that Finnish biofuels giant Neste is sourcing key ingredients for its SAF from an opaque supply chain that enables fresh palm oil to be passed off as used, waste oil.
Because tallow is classified as waste by regulators in markets including the UK and EU, the green fuel industry’s most widely used certification scheme – International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) – does not assess whether forests were cleared to rear the cattle that produced it in the first place.

Amazon fires threaten initiatives to raise cash for rainforest protection
Brazil’s Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) and other innovative finance tools will be showcased at COP30, but surging wildfires in the Amazon pose a threat to their success, climate experts warn -
Deep in the Amazon, forest protection cash must vie with glitter of illegal gold
The TFFF fund launched at COP30 aims to pay communities to protect the rainforest, but will it be enough? On French Guiana’s border with Brazil, the profits to be had from mining are far higher -
Funding gap threatens next round of IPCC climate science reports, chair warns
The latest IPCC session in Bangkok was clouded by persistent differences over when its flagship reports should be published and concern over cost-cutting proposals
This allows tallow from cattle to qualify as a sustainable feedstock for green fuels, even if they were raised on illegally deforested land.
“There is clearly an oversight within the rules if the products, in this case animal tallow, are originally coming from deforested land,” said Cian Delaney, a campaign coordinator at the clean transport and energy advocacy group Transport & Environment.
That means government SAF mandates aimed at stemming air travel emissions could help boost the earnings of cattle ranchers linked to illegal deforestation in Brazil, where ranching and other forms of agriculture have been the main driver of forest loss.
Land grabbers clear way for ranchers
Once covered by an unbroken rainforest canopy, Rondônia’s Jaci-Paraná reserve has been decimated by illegal deforestation driven by cattle ranching – a major cause of tree loss in the Amazon.
Land-grabbers have seized – often violently – and cleared more than three-quarters of its forest for pasture, as ranching has steadily advanced into the southern Amazon.
Suruí, the local Indigenous activist, said companies that buy products derived from illegal activities perpetuate environmental crimes in the rainforest.
“If there were no meat processors buying illegally sourced cattle, there would be no land grabbing and no deforestation,” Suruí told Repórter Brasil, which partnered on the new investigation with Unearthed, and a team of journalists supported by JournalismFund Europe.
Lawsuits and linked supply chains
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has pledged to end all deforestation in the country by 2030, in part by strengthening environmental enforcement in the world’s biggest rainforest.
In Rondônia, authorities have launched more than 50 lawsuits related to land-grabbing and deforestation in the Jaci-Paraná reserve alone. Local slaughterhouse DistriBoi is named in 31 of the lawsuits, including the 2024 case in which it was fined.
According to the 2022 court document, which concerned an unrelated labour dispute, lawyers for Pacífico refer to DistriBoi as the rendering plant’s “largest supplier of raw materials”.
US-based DGD received almost 15,000 tonnes of tallow from Pacífico from 2023 to 2025 at its Texas refinery, as well as used cooking oil from various countries and sources, according to trade database Panjiva.
Darling Ingredients is also a parent company of Pacífico since its 2022 acquisition of Brazilian rendering company FASA Group.
A spokesperson for Darling Ingredients denied that Pacífico had sourced beef residues from DistriBoi’s Ji-Paraná slaughterhouse – one of two that the meatpacker operates in Rondônia.
“The rendering plant Pacífico does not source any materials from the slaughterhouse Distriboi in Ji-Paraná,” the spokesperson said in an emailed response, without providing evidence or commenting directly on the content of the 2022 court document.
Darling did not respond to a follow-up question about Distriboi’s other slaughterhouse in the region, which, according to cattle transfer documents, has also bought from a farm that has illegally cleared forest within the extractive reserve.
“Our relationships are typically with the slaughterhouse, several levels removed from cattle ranchers. Regardless, we are committed to ensuring our raw materials are deforestation free. We expect our raw material suppliers to abide by our supplier code of conduct. In addition, we are in the process of requiring all [the] raw materials to attest that their material is deforestation free,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
DistriBoi said in an apparent reference to the pending Jaci-Paraná lawsuits that “the matters mentioned … are already under review, including by higher courts”. It has previously denied wrongdoing. The company’s statement did not address a question about its commercial ties to Pacífico.
Valero Energy, the major refiner that co-owns DGD with Darling Ingredients, did not respond to requests for comment, nor did DGD itself.
From slaughterhouse to SAF
In an effort to rein in carbon emissions from air travel, regulators in Britain and the EU have mandated progressively increasing SAF blending quotas in the years ahead, creating a new market for feedstocks including beef tallow.
Brazil’s exports of tallow to the US have risen sharply in recent years, up from less than 10,000 tonnes in 2021 to almost 400,000 tonnes last year, according to Panjiva, reflecting growing demand for biofuels like SAF.
In the UK, Europe’s biggest aviation market by seat capacity, jet fuel was required to contain 2% SAF by the end of 2025, rising to 10% by 2030 and 22% by 2040.
DGD shipped 134,000 tonnes of SAF worth nearly $90 million from Texas to the UK in 2025, according to trade data from Panjiva. The company also exported smaller amounts of renewable diesel to Britain.
The EU received biofuels, including small quantities of SAF, worth over $1.1 billion from DGD’s Texas refinery last year, figures show.
Is the world’s big idea for greener air travel a flight of fancy?
Unearthed’s investigation could not identify which airlines or airports buy DGD’s SAF once it arrives in Britain.
Valero, DGD’s other parent company, is positioning itself as a key player in the transition to lower-carbon fuels in the UK, where it markets its renewable diesel under the Texaco brand.
It has been an active participant in SAF policy discussions and has criticised the government’s planned cap on waste fat sources in SAF, calling them “the world’s most cost-effective production route for SAF” in a submission to parliament.
Helping to cut emissions?
Even tighter oversight over SAF feedstocks is crucial to ensure that blending mandates such as Britain’s are effectively lowering emissions, said Anna Krajinska, a director at Transport & Environment UK.
Forests store vast amounts of carbon; when they are cut down or burned this carbon is released into the atmosphere.
“If there’s tallow coming from land that’s been deforested, then those emissions might be so high that you might not be getting to the greenhouse gas reduction threshold,” Krajinska said.
But as the world’s appetite for flying keeps on growing, some experts say SAF is the only viable means to reduce aviation emissions at present.
Referring to the deforestation links identified in Unearthed’s investigation, Wouter Dewulf, an aviation economist at Belgium’s University of Antwerp, said it “would be important to assess how large this infraction is”.
“I’m quite sure you have aberrations,” Dewulf added. “But biofuels are the best alternative for the moment.”
T&E’s Delaney said there needs to be less opacity and better oversight from regulatory authorities. “Right now, there are just too many blindspots,” he added.
