Industrial structure is one of the major factors that affect the whole environmental load of the industry system. It is a crucial part of implementing green industrial policy and an indispensable way to establish green industry system through the adjustment of industrial structure with lowering the proportion of high material consumption-intensive and pollution-intensive industries in industry system. Technological innovation is the core driving force in the process of the evolution of industrial structure, providing support for the structural optimization and adjustment in industrial sectors. Aiming at establishing a water-saving and pollutant-reducing green industrial structure in Guangzhou, this paper discusses the science and technology policy of promoting this greening process. Five proposals are presented here: 1) value the “greening” issue of industrial structure from a strategic and planning perspective; 2) clarify the goal of the industrial technology-intensity adjustment; 3) give weight to the key industries; 4) Achieve a proper integration among science and technology policy, industrial policy, and resources and environmental policy; 5) expand the R&D input and related working staff of the industrial sectors.
