“…To reduce overall energy and material consumption, quantitative techniques and procedures have been created to find and foster symbiotic industrial exchanges in IPs [14]. This study applied quantitative methodologies to adapt to eco-IPs networks [8,14,15]. The procedure to identify LCIP criteria comprises three steps as follows: Step 1-Identifying the requirement of the LCIP criteria: the list of indices to evaluate the LCIP criteria is established that based on the integrated analysis of requirements established by state agencies and from previous research on LCIP.…”

“…The "LCE" refers to the green, a friendly ecological economy based on less pollution and low energy consumption [7]. Meanwhile, the low-carbon IPs (LCIPs) significantly contribute to carbon emission mitigation and environmentally ecological protection [8]. For instance, the CO2 emissions were directly reduced that via the 41 eco-IPs projects in South Korea analyzed by Ban, et al [9].…”

In recent years, Vietnam has experienced urbanization and industrialization, leading to potential air pollution and climate change risks. To reduce these negative consequences of economic development, Vietnam has promoted a low-carbon economy (LCE) by setting many goals for green growth, air pollution reduction, and increasing the absorption capacity of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in many industrial sectors. However, there is still a lack of a specified policy to promote these goals systematically. This study proposes a set of criteria that could be used to evaluate and certify low-carbon industrial parks (LCIPs). The criteria were developed using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), expert opinion, data normalization, and carbon emission calculation. The set of criteria includes five groups of indicators with eighteen criteria for evaluating LCIPs, which can be applied in Vietnam’s contexts. Using such an index system to Trang Bang IP in the period 2016–2020 as a case study, the results show that the Trang Bang has yet to meet the criteria of LCIPs, particularly in terms of energy consumption and GHGs emission.

“…Nagashima et al (2017) apply IO models to analyze the environmental impact of wind power development in Japan. Fang et al (2017) used IO models to explore the environmental impact of the exploitation of renewable resources on the low-carbon industrial park. However, most studies assess the gross environmental impact of NE development at the national/regional level, and few studies evaluate the impacts of NE expansion on carbon emissions embodied in China's exports.…”

Embodied carbon emissions have been particularly high in Chinese exports due to the domination of coal consumption in China's electricity mix. In order to decarbonize China's electricity system, the government of China embarked on a large-scale, national roll-out of non-fossil electricity (NE). Thus, understanding the carbon impacts of NE may help facilitate China's efforts to reduce emissions embodied in exports. This study builds a hybrid, energy-economic, multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model to investigate the impact of NE development on emissions embodied in exports by comparing the observed NE expansion against a counterfactual scenario without NE deployment. The total contribution of NE expansion between 2002 and 2014 is decomposed into three factors: intraregional, electricity transmission as well as inter-regional supply-chain. Our results show that NE expansion reduced carbon emissions embodied in exports by 203 Mt (million tonnes) in 2007, 243 Mt in 2010 and 259 Mt in 2014. These mitigated emissions accounted for 11.3% in 2007, 14.9% in 2010 and 19.5% in 2014 of the total emissions embodied in exports. The intra-regional effect accounted for approximately 60% of those CO 2 savings during 2007e2014. The effect of electricity transmission accounted for more than 20%, and the remainder of emission reductions resulted from inter-regional economic linkages.

“…Industrial parks are important contributors to CO 2 , and a growing number studies have concerned the emission characteristic of industrial parks. The total CO 2 emissions of industrial parks varies significantly among different cities due to the different characteristics of the industrial structure [4][5][6]. In addition, studies have also investigated strategies to reduce the CO 2 emissions of industrial parks [7,8], and show the huge reduction potential of CO 2 .…”

Although central to the promotion of regional economic development, industrial parks discharge large quantities of air pollutants and CO2, counter to the goals of air quality improvement and CO2 reductions in China. In this study, 13 industrial parks in seven cities in Henan Province were chosen to evaluate their emission of air pollutants and CO2 in 2017, their reduction potential under different green measures, and their air quality improvements under a Green Upgrade scenario. The results show that: (1) The total emissions of SO2, NOx, CO, PM10, PM2.5, VOCs and CO2 in the 13 industrial parks were 43, 39, 351, 19, 7, 18, 2 kt and 36 Mt, and would decrease by 72, 56, 19, 30, 26, 77 and 30%, respectively, under the Green Upgrade scenario. (2) The industrial process was the major source of CO, PM2.5, VOCs and NH3, whereas power plants were the largest source of SO2 and NOx, and they would be reduced by 93, 59, 94, 91, 23 and 28%, respectively, under the Green Upgrade scenario. (3) The terminal energy use sector (including industrial boilers and industrial process sources) was the main source of CO2, accounting for 75% of total CO2 emissions, and would be reduced by 76% under the Green Upgrade scenario. (4) WRF-CMAQ simulation results show that, under the Green Upgrade scenario, the concentration of PM2.5 in a transmission channel city would be improved by 1–36 μg/m3, with an annual average value of 9 μg/m3. Our results demonstrate the significant effect of the synergistic reduction in air pollutants and CO2 emissions using Green Technologies in industrial parks and the subsequent improvement in regional air quality.
