26 additional technologies have been proposed for restricted export, including polysilicon engineering for solar cell production lines with annual output of 30,000 tonnes or greater.[^1]

The accompanying draft plan proposes complete export bans on 14 separate technologies. These include perovskite and tandem solar-cell manufacturing systems, AI malicious code generation tools, and select cell and gene therapy platforms.[^2]

Interesting Engineering launched a new dedicated 'Energy' category on 15 October 2026 to cover energy production, storage and emerging technologies.[^3]
