Core Viewpoint - The construction of zero-carbon parks is a crucial strategy for promoting green transformation in China, especially during the critical period of achieving carbon peak goals. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has issued a notice to support the establishment of zero-carbon parks, which will contribute directly to carbon reduction and serve as practical examples for building a "zero-carbon society" [1][11]. Group 1: Energy Consumption Reduction - Zero-carbon parks aim to reduce energy consumption by utilizing green electricity and transforming the energy structure within the parks. For instance, the Dafeng Port Zero-Carbon Industrial Park in Jiangsu has established a 13.76 MW centralized photovoltaic power station to supply green electricity directly to enterprises [3][4]. - The park plans to achieve over 85% of its electricity consumption from traceable green electricity by 2030, enhancing the clean energy supply [4]. - In Inner Mongolia, the Ordos Zero-Carbon Industrial Park has built an independent distribution network and a 220 kV substation, with a capacity of 385,000 kW for wind and solar energy projects, expected to supply 900 million kWh of green electricity annually [4]. Group 2: Structural Adjustment - The optimization of industrial structure within zero-carbon parks is essential for enhancing the "green competitiveness" of industries. For example, the Lianxin Steel Company in Jiangsu plans to upgrade its electric arc furnace to a more energy-efficient model, which will significantly reduce carbon emissions [7][8]. - The development of low-energy, low-pollution, and high-value-added emerging industries is encouraged, with a focus on creating a virtuous cycle of "green energy attracting green industries" [8]. - The establishment of zero-carbon parks is expected to guide traditional industries in exploring deep decarbonization paths and promote sustainable development in high-energy-consuming sectors [8]. Group 3: Management Enhancement - The implementation of artificial intelligence technology is being utilized to improve the management efficiency of zero-carbon parks. For instance, the Dafeng Port Zero-Carbon Industrial Park has established a carbon management platform to provide customized carbon management services [9][10]. - The NDRC has set several guiding indicators for zero-carbon parks, including the proportion of clean energy consumption and the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste, to enhance energy and carbon management capabilities [10]. - The Ordos Zero-Carbon Industrial Park has achieved nearly zero wastewater discharge, with 95% of wastewater being reused, demonstrating effective resource recovery practices [10]. Group 4: Policy and Support - The NDRC plans to identify the first batch of national-level zero-carbon parks and provide active support in terms of pilot exploration, project construction, and funding arrangements [11]. - The notice emphasizes the need for parks to leverage their resource endowments and industrial characteristics to develop feasible paths for zero-carbon park construction [11].
