“…In the future development process, parks can promote waste incineration capacity and cogeneration technology upgrades, which will have significant emission reduction potential and synergistic environmental and economic benefits. Simultaneously, attention should be paid to the elimination of high-energy-consuming equipment in enterprises within the park, and the carbon emission reduction task within the park should be completed by eliminating or replacing backward production capacity and improving energy efficiency, waste heat recovery, and utilization [37,38].…”
Section: Cleaner Production Recommendationsmentioning
With respect to peak carbon and carbon neutrality, China’s economic structure is developing towards low carbonization, circulation, and cleanliness. There is an urgent need to expand the scope of cleaner production audits, improve cleaner production efficiency, and promote cleaner production through regional coordination. The 14th Five-Year National Cleaner Production Implementation Plan proposed selecting 100 parks or industrial clusters to conduct an overall cleaner production audit innovation pilot. To promote the coordinated development of cleaner production areas, this study constructed a set of cleaner production index systems for industrial parks, established an evaluation model based on the binary semantic evaluation method, and selected an industrial park in central China as an audit pilot. The binary group θ1=(2, −0.1084) of the rating results was determined to be a cleaner production park. Based on the evaluation results, the clean production potential of the park was analyzed, and suggestions for clean production were put forward. Sixteen representative enterprises in the park were selected to build twenty-one ecological chains, providing reasonable suggestions for constructing a systematic and circular enterprise symbiosis network.

“…In the social dimension, the direct guiding role of national policies and the combined role of strategies with other dimensions need to be taken into account [102]. The design of a ZCIP system needs to consider the interests and needs of decisionmakers, managers, technical staff [103], resident enterprises, and residential users, and establish a decision model for the zero carbon park system [104]. Rationalize the weighting of different stakeholders' decisions under the carbon neutralization target to motivate people to respond to the park's policies and become a potent force for improving a park's operational efficiency in the social dimension [105].…”
Section: Challenges and Prospects For The Zero Carbon Industrial Parksmentioning
Global responses to climate change have accomplished certain reductions in carbon emissions. However, current efforts are insufficient for reaching the worldwide objective of carbon neutralization. Industrial parks that integrate industrial and economic resources are priority entities concerning the achievement of national carbon mitigation. The implementation of carbon neutralization at an industrial park level is unclear. This paper used a bibliometric approach to analyze articles related to carbon emissions reduction in industrial parks. From 2001 to 2022, 114 publications were collected from the WoS database. Descriptive statistical analysis, network analysis, keyword co-occurrence network analysis, keyword clustering, co-citation analysis, and burst detection were employed to summarize the research hotspots and evolution trends in this field. The results showed that the research hotspots were energy management, industrial symbiosis, economics and development, and carbon emission assessments in industrial parks. Emerging trends are the management of integrated energy systems, circular economy, renewable energy, economic analysis, and the validation of various models. Based on these analyses, four challenges and prospects were proposed for the construction of zero-carbon industrial parks. Finally, this paper presents a systematic guidance framework for carbon neutralization in industrial parks, which provides important references for future theoretical and practical research on industrial parks.
“…China releases more carbon dioxide than others because of its highly carbonized energy mix. Similar to global industrial carbon emissions, over 30% and 60% of carbon emissions nationwide come from industrial parks and industries in China, respectively [3,4]. Industrial parks, as one of the key drivers of urban economic development, are gathering areas for energy consumption and carbon emissions.…”

“…The above studies have only examined the direct impact of NDEP from an economic or environmental perspective, and much of the attention has been focused on a single indicator. Liu et al (2022) demonstrated that NDEP has a positive effect on improving urban green total factor productivity, but overlooked the potential spatial impact of this policy on surrounding areas [20]. Furthermore, Liu et al (2022) and Zhang and Wei (2023) dissected how NDEP promotes the green economy directly or indirectly using the spatial DID (SDID) model [7,21].…”

Furthermore, Liu et al (2022) and Zhang and Wei (2023) dissected how NDEP promotes the green economy directly or indirectly using the spatial DID (SDID) model [7,21]. and proved that NDEP reduces pollution and carbon emission and improves CEE of the pilot cities and their neighboring cities [22,23].…”
Improving carbon emission efficiency (CEE) is a necessary consideration in response to economic downturn and climate change. In this case, industrial symbiosis paves the way for cities to conserve energy, reduce carbon emissions, and upgrade economic development patterns. This paper verifies the influence of industrial symbiosis policies on CEE, represented by National Demonstration Eco-industrial Parks (NDEPs). The difference-in-differences (DID) and spatial DID (SDID) models, as well as panel data of 282 Chinese cities during 2003–2019, were used to complete this argumentation process. The results show that NDEP policy dramatically increases the CEE of pilot cities. Compared with cities without NDEP, pilot cities climb by 3.49% on CEE, mainly due to industrial structure upgrading and green technological innovation. Moreover, eastern, non-resource-based, and multi-NDEP cities experience a noticeable increase in CEE. NDEP increases not only the CEE of pilot cities but also that of their neighboring cities within 450 km through diffusion and demonstration effects. All these findings help promote China’s NDEP construction and offer decision-making guidance for climate governance and low-carbon transition in China and others following a similar pathway.
