Roadmap to carbon emissions neutral industrial parks: Energy, economic and environmental analysis

Xintong Wei et al.

Summary: This article discusses the feasibility and optimal scheme for implementing an electricthermal carbon emissions neutral industrial park, constructing a framework and optimization model. The study finds that achieving carbon emissions neutrality comes with a high cost, while implementing a compromise scheme for lower emissions is also worth researching.

Critical transformation pathways and socio-environmental benefits of energy substitution using a LEAP scenario modeling

Dewei Yang et al.

Summary: The city of Zhangjiakou urgently needs to transform its conventional energy-dependent industries as it co-hosts the 2022 Winter Olympic Games and is the only National Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone in China. The study reveals that under the integrated scenario, Zhangjiakou's greenhouse gas emissions would peak in 2030, showing competitive advantages of renewable energy in terms of emission reductions, job opportunities, and economic costs. This highlights the importance of pursuing feasible low-carbon pathways and co-benefits strategies in future renewable energy transformation efforts.

Estimating future industrial emissions of hazardous air pollutants in the United States using the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS)

Kaixin Huang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a method to project HAPs emissions from industrial sectors in the United States using sector-based emissions data and scenario results. The results show diverse regional and temporal patterns among the 237 HAPs considered, with most HAPs having higher projected emissions in 2050 compared to the baseline year, but lower emissions when pollution control and technology improvements are taken into account.
