Pathways and Key Technologies for Zero-Carbon Industrial Parks: A Concise Review

Industrial parks are the central units for the development and aggregation of industries, playing an important role in implementing China’s “dual-carbon” strategy. Zero-carbon industrial parks represent a new form of development for future industrial parks and how to build them has become a focus of current research. This paper provides a concise overview and future prospects of the pathways and key technologies for achieving zero-carbon industrial parks. Firstly, the concept and connotation of zero-carbon industrial parks are analyzed. Secondly, the pathways for achieving zero-carbon industrial parks are summarized by analyzing the characteristics of different types of parks. Thirdly, from the aspects of Integrated Energy System Planning, hydrogen energy storage and applications, CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage), and other aspects of the key technologies needed for zero-carbon industrial parks are outlined. Finally, an analysis and outlook on the challenges faced in the construction of zero-carbon industrial parks are provided.
