Building the Next Generation of Zero-Carbon Industrial Parks

Overall Approach & Cooperation Proposal for Development of Zero-Carbon Industrial Parks
零碳产业园整体开发思路及合作方案

Background and Opportunities
Under the context of China’s national “Dual Carbon” goals, the transition toward a green and low-carbon economy has become the driving force for high-quality regional development. As the primary hubs for industrial agglomeration, Industrial Parks serve as critical implementation units for achieving Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality.
Chinese cities have the needs to implement the national dual carbon goal strategy. Cities have also the need to attract financial and industrial investments.
The dual carbon strategy is also the way to set up a new economic development model which can attract investments, create new highly skilled jobs then guarantee tax revenues based on effective value creation.
Foreign and also Chinese industries, as requested, by the mandatory corporate targets, are looking for locations which can provide suitable infrastructure and supporting facilities in order to reduce their global carbon footprint. Then they can invest to set up or relocate their facilities and offices in such locations.
Carbon Zero parks will support the job creation and taxes to feed cities.
Actually, even the setting up stage of proper infrastructure and facilities can be already a time for attraction of investment by the creation of new energy power stations, utilities infrastructures, new mobility solution, waste and water management system.
In recent years, the central government has introduced a series of policies to support the development of Zero-Carbon Parks and green initiatives. This support is further bolstered by financial subsidies, special funds, green finance instruments, and the establishment of pilot demonstration projects.
Furthermore, promoting the construction of Zero-Carbon Parks is conducive to:
• Accelerating Industrial Upgrading
• Enhancing Park Competitiveness
• Reducing Energy Costs for Enterprises
• Attracting High-Quality investment
All the industries and major companies have to respect carbon emission target at worldwide scale. It means that they will be looking for location, to set up or relocated their operational and production plants, which can provide “clean energy” and suitable infrastructures to be able to calculate and control their greenhouses gasses emissions. In this way, the upcoming tool to attract investment and to avoid to lose the present companies, will be to provide them such location.

By conducting a systematic evaluation of the park’s current status, a clear implementation path for zero-carbon construction will be defined, including:
• Carbon Baseline Assessment
• Energy Structure Analysis
• Industrial Structure Evaluation
• Target Setting
• Implementation Roadmap Development
The Master Plan provides a systematic implementation framework for the park’s zero-carbon transition. Furthermore, it serves as the foundational technical support for policy alignment, government accreditation, and subsidy applications.
Advancing the Systematic Design of the Zero-Carbon Industrial Park
Building on the Master Plan, a comprehensive systematic design for the Zero-Carbon Industrial Park will be implemented, covering the following key areas:
Zero-Carbon Energy: Develop renewable energy-driven power systems, integrate energy storage, and ensure at least 70% of park energy consumption comes from clean energy. Specifically:
1. Prioritize renewable power replacement, increasing green electricity proportion via distributed photovoltaic, wind power, agro-photovoltaic and fishery-photovoltaic projects.
2. Build energy storage systems (e.g., centralized and distributed storage devices) for intelligent charging-discharging scheduling to boost green electricity consumption.
3. Promote source-grid-load-storage integration, establish a collaborative scheduling platform, and optimize energy supply-demand balance.
Zero-Carbon Industries: Focus on low-energy, low-emission, high-output and high-value-added industries. Adopt efficient technologies, prioritize zero/low-carbon materials in production, and implement full industrial carbon footprint management.
Zero-Carbon Transport: Establish green transportation and logistics systems with over 80% new energy vehicles.
Zero-Carbon Buildings: Ensure all new buildings meet green building standards and implement measures to reduce building carbon intensity.
Zero-Carbon Facilities: Promote recycling and waste reduction, advance industrial solid waste recovery, waste heat & pressure utilization, and reclaimed water recycling for waste-to-value conversion. Ensure green lighting covers ≥90% of public spaces and park green coverage reaches at least 15%.
Digital Carbon Management: Use digital tools (AI, IoT, big data) to real-time monitor energy use and emissions, establish carbon credit archives, and connect park platforms with broader carbon management systems.
Negative Carbon Technologies: Integrate carbon capture and storage (CCS) with ecological carbon sequestration to achieve absolute carbon reductions.
This integrated systematic design will optimize the park’s energy structure and realize quantifiable carbon emission reductions.
