Greenhouse Gas Inventory of a Typical High-End Industrial Park in China

Abstract EN

Global climate change caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which severely limits the development of human society and threatens the survival of humanity, has drawn the international community's long-term attention.

Gathering the most important production factors in the region, an industrial park usually represents the development level of specific industries in the region.

Therefore, the industrial park should be regarded as the base unit for developing a low-carbon economy and reducing GHG emissions.

Focusing on a typical high-end industrial park in Beijing, we analyze the carbon sources within the system boundary and probe into the emission structure in view of life-cycle analysis.

A GHG inventory is thereby set up to calculate all GHG emissions from the concerned park.

Based on the results, suggestions are presented to guide the low-carbon development of the high-end industrial park.
