China’s air compressor industry is undergoing a green transformation, driven by stringent regulations like the Compressed Air System Energy Efficiency Standards and the Industrial Energy Conservation and Green Development Plan. Key impacts include:
Mandatory Certifications: ISO 14001 and CE compliance for all industrial compressors.
Energy-Efficient Designs: Tier 4 emission standards for diesel-driven units and subsidies for VSD adoption.
Recycling Initiatives: Government-backed programs for end-of-life compressor recycling, reducing landfill waste by 25%.
Case Study:
In 2024, Shanghai mandated retrofitting 50,000 outdated compressors with IoT-enabled models, cutting citywide industrial energy use by 8%.
