Hainan Launches Green Low-Carbon Alliance with 140-Plus Private Firms Targeting Free Trade Port Decarbonisation

Hainan Province formally established a Green Low-Carbon Development Alliance on June 17 at the 2026 National Private Enterprise Green Development Conference. More than 140 private companies were admitted as inaugural members, forming a collaborative platform designed to advance green industry development across the Hainan Free Trade Port. The alliance was co-initiated by the Hainan Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce, leading new energy enterprises, and the provincial energy conservation and emissions reduction association.

The alliance’s stated focus areas span clean energy (wind, solar, hydrogen, and battery storage), tropical ecological carbon sinks, green buildings, and international carbon trading. A province-wide green low-carbon pledge was unveiled at the launch, outlining five action calls directed at private enterprises: practising green principles, leading zero-carbon industries, driving industrial upgrading, co-developing ecological industries, and sustaining long-term carbon governance. Planned ongoing activities include dual-carbon policy briefings, green technology exchanges, and industrial project matchmaking sessions, with the aim of spreading advanced low-carbon technology and management practices across Hainan’s private sector.

As a designated National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone, Hainan intends to harness the alliance to mobilise private-sector capacity toward newer tracks including marine blue carbon and zero-carbon industrial parks. Planned support services encompass corporate carbon footprint assessment and energy-saving retrofit assistance. The stated long-term ambition is to establish the Hainan Free Trade Port as an outward-facing showcase for Chinese low-carbon technology and green practice.
