One-stop service for the EU’s Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA)
The global green industry rules are undergoing a reconstruction. In the face of this legislative change that is reshaping the global green industry landscape, Chinese export enterprises urgently need strategic-level compliance partners to navigate the new rules and seize new opportunities.
We adhere to the core methodology of “professional consultation + core technology + implementation support +AI empowerment”, providing enterprises with practical and operational one-stop service support, and helping customers move forward steadily in the global green economy wave.
What is NZIA？
NZIA (Net-Zero Industry Act) is a key legislation proposed by the European Union in March 2023 and officially coming into effect in 2024. It aims to accelerate the development of local net-zero technology industries and enhance the EU’s autonomy in the green industrial chain.
As a core pillar of the Green New Deal Industry Plan, NZIA will directly affect enterprises’ operational licensing, product certification, supply chain deployment and policy compliance arrangements within the EU market.
The core content and main barriers of the bill:
1. Mandatory requirements for the proportion of domestic manufacturing:
From 2026, EU member states must ensure that a fixed proportion of the annual deployment demand for equipment such as photovoltaic modules, batteries and heat pumps comes from domestic manufacturing. Enterprises that fail to meet the standards will face a fine of 10% of the contract amount.
2. Non-price standard procurement mechanism:
Starting from December 30, 2025, member states must adopt non-price standards in at least 30% of their renewable energy tenders (or 6GW per country per year), including: ① supply chain resilience (single-source dependence ≤65%) ② environmental sustainability ③ cybersecurity ④ corporate social responsibility.
3. Third Country Dependency restriction clause:
When the EU’s reliance on a third country for a certain type of net-zero technology product exceeds 50% (for instance, China’s photovoltaic industry currently accounts for over 80%), strict restrictions will be triggered: ① The final product must not be assembled in that third country; ② At least four major key components must not come from that third country; ③ Core components such as photovoltaic inverters and solar cells must be banned from products of that country.
Challenges and Opportunities Faced by Chinese Enterprises in the context of NZIA
Challenges: Market access barriers and pressure from supply chain restructuring
There is great pressure to localize manufacturing
The NZIA tends to support local manufacturing capacity in the EU, which has led to enterprises that rely on domestic production in China facing “localization” pressure and requiring them to reevaluate the necessity and feasibility of investing and setting up factories in the EU through cooperation.
The entry threshold has been significantly raised
Bidding enterprises must ensure that more than 50% of their product output value comes from the European Union. It is necessary to prove the diversity of the supply chain (single-source dependence ≤65%); Non-price criteria account for 15% to 30% of the scoring weight, weakening the price advantage of Chinese enterprises.
The barriers to green compliance have increased
The “non-price standards” have high requirements for ESG management and green compliance of enterprises. Most enterprises lack a systematic and traceable sustainable management system and professional green compliance response capabilities, which seriously affects their competitiveness in the EU market.
Opportunities: Global layout optimization and enhancement of green soft power
After enhancing green compliance capabilities and ESG management capabilities, enterprises will obtain “green priority qualifications” in the market, improve the competitiveness of their products in government projects and major clients, and open up new market Spaces.
Compliance capabilities will become a key soft power for attracting European capital and engaging in strategic cooperation with local enterprises (such as technology licensing and joint manufacturing).
