National energy storage industrial park

What was energy infrastructure like in 1604 industrial parks?

Firstly, a high-resolution geodatabase of energy infrastructure in 1604 industrial parks was established. These energy infrastructures largely featured heavy coal dependence, small capacities, cogeneration of heat and power, and were young in age.

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.

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.

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.

What is the energy infrastructure in Chinese industrial parks?

The geodatabase of energy infrastructure in 1604 Chinese industrial parks covered 2127 plants, including 4706 units. Fig. 1 illustrates the overview of energy infrastructure in the parks by the end of 2014, from the perspective of stock evolution, fuel structure, and capacity structure.

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.
