Yangtze River Delta Green Zone Aims to Cut Carbon Emissions by Over 20%
A new ecological demonstration zone in eastern China's Yangtze River Delta region has clarified its plan of carbon emission reductions that should set an example for other areas.
The Yangtze River Delta Integrated Ecological and Green Development Demonstration Zone, which stretches across Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu provinces, will strive to shrink its carbon footprint by more than 20 percent from the level of 2020 by 2025, according to the administration. The zone will cut its energy consumption by about 15 percent in three years.
The latest goals are more specific after the area that is under development issued its implementation plan on June 24 to reach peak emissions. The zone was inaugurated in November 2019.
The Yangtze River Delta Integrated Ecological and Green Development Demonstration Zone will promote the use of ground source heat pumps, solar power, hydrogen, and other energy sources to construct buildings with ultra-low energy consumption, the National Development Reform Commission announced on its website yesterday. A demonstration area with almost zero carbon emissions should be basically finished by 2030.
Innovations target certain areas. The zone will explore ideas for peak emissions to create replicable experiences in the Water Village Living Room at the junction of Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces, as well as Xicen Sci-tech Innovation Center in Qingpu district, High-speed Railway Technology Innovation City in Wujiang, and Xiangfudang Sci-tech Green Valley in Jiashan, Du Huanzheng, dean of the Zhejiang Yangtze River Delta Circular Economy Technology Research Institute, said to Yicai Global.
The scheme highlights concerted moves by members to coordinate work on industry, energy, transportation, construction, and ecosystems, Du said. The green blueprint emphasizes the leading role of science and technology innovation, the dean added.
Some of those plans include adding more renewable energy. By 2025, the zone will increase its solar power capacity by 1,600 megawatts from 2020, Du said. Some 300 MW will go to Shanghai's Qingpu district, 1,000 MW to Suzhou's Wujiang district, and 300 MW to Jiaxing's Jiashan district.
