Landmark net-zero industrial park taking shape

North China-based facility to provide clean power to nearby enterprises

In Ordos, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, the world's first net-zero industrial park powered by the latest wind, solar and hydrogen power technologies, has been gradually taking shape, helping initiate a new industrial transition in the country and across the world.

The industrial park, built by major domestic green technology business Envision Group, will use 100 percent renewable energy, including solar, wind power and energy storage, for production and operation activity by high energy-consuming industries. This will not only play a key role in helping China realize its carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals but also lead the world's net-zero industrial transition, said Zhang Lei, CEO of Envision, during a recent Ordos net-zero industry summit.

Envision said excess power produced in the park will be sold to the grid, and stored green energy will be retrieved from the grid when needed, so as to ensure 100 percent net-zero energy, safe and stable supplies, and reduced costs.
