China is rapidly expanding its network of zero-carbon industrial parks to tackle emissions from heavy industries like steel, cement, and chemicals. These parks integrate clean energy, energy efficiency, and carbon management to reach net-zero targets within concentrated industrial clusters. To scale these efforts, experts emphasize the need for national standardized carbon accounting and a shift toward integrated system-wide design. Expanding green finance and carbon market mechanisms will be critical for moving beyond small pilot projects to large-scale industrial transformation.
