BEIJING, (Xinhua) -- China on Tuesday issued a document to support the development of zero-carbon industrial parks, aiming to accelerate the country's green transition.
The document, released by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and two other government departments, encourages localities to build zero-carbon industrial parks that can reduce carbon dioxide emissions to "near zero" through advanced planning, design, technology and management, and eventually achieve net zero emissions.
The document outlines eight key tasks in areas such as transitioning energy structures, enhancing energy efficiency, optimizing industrial structures, promoting resource conservation, upgrading infrastructure, applying advanced technologies, improving energy and carbon management, and fostering reform and innovation in park operations.
