Seven key points to refine the zero carbon smart park standards

PXIe-6674T

This standard will standardize the definition of zero-carbon smart parks from the perspective of energy use, and the main contents include: Define the boundaries of industrial parks, the scope of energy use types, emissions calculation, data quality requirements, data monitoring requirements, emission offset schemes, emission verification time range, annual audit requirements, zero carbon judgment standards, etc., and the above content is now the pain point of the identification of zero carbon smart parks.

1. Clarify the scope of the industrial park. The industrial park not only includes the main body of the park operation, but also includes all the business entities and others operating in the industrial park.

2. Focus on low and zero carbonization of energy use in industrial parks. Including energy related emission sources such as electricity, heat, gas, cooling, commuting and transportation in the park; Industrial parks PXIe-6674T must establish goals and steps to net zero energy emissions, which is an ongoing process;

3. Define the time boundary of “zero carbon”. “Zero carbon” is not a static evaluation, because energy use and energy supply are changing, so zero carbon is also continuous and dynamic, then we need to define a time boundary of “zero carbon”, that is, zero carbon base year, and carry out continuous “zero carbon” management, verification and annual review by a third party;

4, refer to international and domestic standards. Energy use data, to do a good job of monitoring, management, data retention, and to ensure the truth and integrity of the data, emissions data accounting will refer to the ISO 14064 standard, so as to comply with international norms;

5. Clarify the ratio of emission reduction and offset. For the offset method of emissions (neutralization method), the reduction and offset ratio will also be required to ensure the practical “carbon reduction” value and fairness;

6. Clarify the application requirements of intelligent data in the park. The intelligent management PXIe-6674T level of park operation and the application of digital technology are required to ensure the rationality and efficiency of the system of park carbon management and industrial development;

7. Other environmentally friendly risk assessment. Such as major safety accidents, environmental assessment compliance, environmental accidents, green buildings, greening ratio and so on.

The realization of zero carbon energy in industrial parks means that more than 80% of the emissions of industrial parks will be reduced. For enterprises in industrial parks, it improves the green attributes of enterprises and reduces the carbon footprint of products, which not only responds to the strategic needs of the country’s dual carbon, but also greatly helps enterprises to improve the green competitiveness of products.

In addition to energy use, emissions from industrial parks include: Emissions from the production process of enterprises, leakage and discharge of air conditioning refrigerant, waste gas and wastewater treatment and other waste treatment emissions, emissions from enterprise supply chain transportation, emissions from building construction and operation, employee commuting and travel emissions, office emissions, etc. The construction of zero-carbon smart park will also provide energy efficiency improvement, digital services, carbon management services and other solutions according to the actual situation of the park. Gradually covering all emission sources in the park, accelerating the process of zero carbon.
