Tianjin Jiuyuan Park - News - Low-Carbon Economy

Wellington, June 23 (Jiu Yuan) Messi edit
A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) or Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy (LFFE) is an economy which has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Recently, most of scientific and public opinion has come to the conclusion there is such an accumulation of GHGs (especially CO2) in the atmosphere due to anthropogenic causes, which that the climate is changing. The over-concentrations of these gases are producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. Globally implemented LCE's therefore, are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change, and as a precursor to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable-energy economy.

Rationale and Aims

Nations seek to become low-carbon economies as a part of a national global warming mitigation strategy. A comprehensive strategy to manage global warming is carbon neutrality, geoengineering and adaptation to global warming.
The aim of a LCE is to integrate all aspects of itself from its manufacturing, agriculture, transportation and power-generation etc. around technologies that produce energy and materials with little GHG emission; and thus, around populations, buildings, machines and devices which use those energies and materials efficiently, and, dispose of or recycle its wastes so as to have a minimal output of GHGs. Furthermore, it has been proposed that to make the transition to an LCE economically viable we would have to attribute a cost (per unit output) to GHGs through means such as emissions trading and/or a carbon tax.
Some nations are presently low carbon: societies which are not heavily industrialized or populated. In order to avoid climate change on a global level, all nations considered carbon intensive societies and societies which are heavily populated might have to become zero-carbon societies and economies. Several of these countries have pledged to cut their emissions by 100% via offsetting emissions rather than ceasing all emissions (carbon neutrality); in other words, emitting will not cease but will continue and will be offset to a different geographical area.

Low-Carbon Economy in China

In China, the city of Dongtan is to be built to produce zero net greenhouse gas emissions.
Chinese State Council has announced its aim to cut China's carbon dioxide emission by 40%-45% in 2020 from 2005 levels.

Low-Carbon Economy in Jiu Yuan

Being one of 31 county and district industrial demonstration zone approved by Tianjin municipal government, in the future Tianjin Baodi Jiu Yuan Low Carbon Industrial Park Area will focus on equipment manufacturing and engineering machinery manufacturing; rely on Tianjin Hi-tech area and Tianjin economic-technological development area the two new energy industrial area, drive by Jiu Yuan own leading enterprises, fully use the near location to Beijing and the advanced road system, confrom to new energy, engineering machinery industry develop trend, facing abroad, foreign new energy, engineering machinery development requirement, positively introduce or independent research and development solar energy, wind energy source, biomass energy, geothermal energy, green batteries, hydrogen energy, nuclear-energy, ocean energy and new energy equipment manufacturing items and construction machinery, environmental sanitation machine, urban management machinery, agricultural machinery and other engineering machinery items, support by Jiu Yuan industrial park area encouragement policies execution, gradually generate effect of industrial clusters, make Jiu Yuan’s characteristic brand, build north Tianjin new energy and engineering machinery industry new light.
