What is energy infrastructure in an industrial park?

The energy infrastructure in an industrial park is defined as shareable utilities that are located within the park and provide energy for the park, e.g., heat and electricity 31. Climate change mitigation requires decoupling energy services and GHG emissions.

Does energy infrastructure decarbonize industrial parks?

In existing studies, GHG mitigation of industrial parks and energy infrastructure have been mostly analyzed separately, and very few studies emphasized energy infrastructure decarbonization at the industrial park level 31.

Why do industrial parks have a beige circle?

The beige circle symbol size is proportional to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from energy infrastructure in industrial parks, and the color depth is positively correlated with the GHG emissions from energy infrastructure of industrial parks in each provincial area. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.

Why is shared energy infrastructure important in industrial parks?

Shareable energy infrastructure is universally used in industrial parks and generally has a long service lifetime 27, 28, 29; thus, the GHG emissions from industrial parks are locked in. Efficient, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure is a crucial pathway to greening industrilization 30.

Can energy infrastructure decarbonize Chinese industrial parks?

Industrial parks are flourishing globally and are mostly equipped with a shareable energy infrastructure, which has a long service lifetime and thus locks in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We conducted a two-phase study to decarbonize Chinese industrial parks by targeting energy infrastructure.

What are industrial parks?

Industrial parks are a common feature across countries worldwide, clustering intensive industrial activities in a tract of land 1. Global attentions on industrial parks and their sustainability transfers are increasing in recent years 2, 3, 4.
