From Zero-Carbon Factories to Zero-Carbon Parks: The Path of Green Industrial Transformation under the Dual Carbon Goals

The transition from zero-carbon factories to zero-carbon parks represents a critical leap in China’s green industrial transformation, moving from individual 'points' to comprehensive 'areas,' and serves as a core pathway for achieving the dual carbon goals. Zero-carbon factories achieve net-zero emissions in production processes through technological innovation and management optimization, laying the foundation for park-wide zero carbon. Meanwhile, zero-carbon parks create an all-encompassing zero-carbon ecosystem by coordinating energy use, fostering industrial collaboration, and upgrading infrastructure, demonstrating the importance of 'systematic thinking' in carbon reduction efforts.

Currently, the construction of zero-carbon factories and zero-carbon parks in China has entered a key phase guided by policy support, standardized frameworks, and pilot promotions. As technological innovation continues, policy systems improve, and market mechanisms gradually mature, zero-carbon parks will evolve from pilot projects into large-scale implementation, becoming a crucial pillar for promoting high-quality development in manufacturing, addressing global green trade barriers, and achieving the dual carbon goals.
