中国低碳竞争力与国家级经济技术开发区

This report analyzes three national-level pilot programs in China designed to promote low-carbon and eco-efficient industrial parks: the Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) demonstration project, the Circular Transformation of Industrial Parks (CTIP), and the Low-Carbon Industrial Park pilot project. It examines their management structures, certification procedures, and performance indicators, noting that while these programs are voluntary, they provide significant incentives through official naming, certificates, and financial subsidies.

• China implements three primary national-level pilot programs for industrial parks to reduce environmental impact and increase competitiveness: the Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) demonstration project led by the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), the Circular Transformation of Industrial Parks (CTIP) led by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and Ministry of Finance (MoF), and the Low-Carbon Industrial Park project led by the NDRC and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
• The Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) program categorizes parks into three types: sector-specific (dominated by one industry), sector-integrated (containing different industries), and venous (focused on resource recycling). As of 2014, 94 parks had been approved as pilots, with 31 achieving the status of national-level demonstration EIPs.
• Unlike the EIP program, the Circular Transformation of Industrial Parks (CTIP) provides direct national financial subsidies. In 2012 alone, 745 million RMB was allocated to 22 industrial parks, averaging 182 million RMB per park, which represented approximately 8.5% of the total investment.
• The Low-Carbon Industrial Park pilot project, launched in September 2013, focuses specifically on managing greenhouse gas emissions, including total emissions and emission intensity. The government aimed to have 80 low-carbon pilot parks by 2015, starting with 55 selected parks in two rounds between 2014 and 2016.
• There is significant overlap between the three programs, with approximately 14% of China's 1,568 provincial and national industrial parks participating in at least one pilot. Some parks participate in multiple programs; for example, the report identifies seven parks that are part of all three pilot projects.
• The programs differ in their approach to performance indicators: EIP standards use fixed threshold values regardless of a park's history or industry structure, whereas the CTIP program allows parks to submit their own target values for government approval, leading to high variability between regions.
• Industrial parks are motivated to participate in these programs to attract domestic and foreign investment amid intense competition for investment promotion. However, a survey of 210 senior officials from 51 national industrial parks indicated that the primary barriers to progress are limited technical levels and a lack of capacity building.
