Analysis of low-carbon industrial symbiosis technology for carbon mitigation in a Chinese iron/steel industrial park: A case study with carbon flow analysis

Eco-industrial parks (EIP) are a community of manufacturing businesses which seek better environmental and economic performance by using the principles of Industrial Ecology (IE). In Taiwan, government-designated EIPs have operated since 1995, with 23 industrial parks currently in operation. This study presents a case from Taiwan, the Linhai Industrial park, and analyzes the park’s transition towards industrial symbiosis and resource sharing. Resource sharing modifications resulted in reduced carbon emissions, millions of liters of fuel saved, and thousands of tons of industrial waste recycled. This successful transition was possible because of coordinated government support. Key factors include technological subsidies, policy support, and willing manufacturers. Additional explanations for Linhai’s current success are explored and future areas of research are identified.

Building sector is one of the main sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions. Comprehensive countermeasures are needed in cities to mitigate carbon emissions from buildings. This paper reviewed sustainable strategies that implemented in China Pavilion, the main exhibition building of Expo 2010 Shanghai China, and analyzes the achievement that the building has made in carbon mitigation. The results showed that energy saving design in construction and energy efficient technologies in appliance played a vital role in energy reduction and carbon mitigation in building. It also showed that solar photovoltaic power generation system applied in building would bring carbon reduction. The technologies bring with the building a reduction 6.5 kt CO2 each year. These green measures not only helpful in realize the goal of green event, but also will play a role in realizing low carbon society in the future.
