Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment released the first batch of pilot projects for collaborative innovation in pollution reduction and carbon reduction in cities and industrial parks, including 21 cities and 43 industrial parks across the country. Guangzhou Nansha Economic and Technological Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as Nansha Development Zone) was successfully selected as a pilot park and is the only industrial park in Guangdong Province.
The central urban area of Jiaomen River in Nansha
Located in Nansha District, Guangzhou, Nansha Development Zone is located in the geometric center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and is a new carrier of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao cooperation and a hub port of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. In 2022, Nansha Development Zone ranked 13th in the national economic development zone and was awarded the title of "Ecological Civilization Construction Demonstration Zone (Ecological Industrial Park)". The staff of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment said that the Nansha Development Zone has outstanding industrial structure characteristics, a solid foundation for pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and strong policy elements, which is conducive to carrying out the pilot project of collaborative innovation in pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and forming a collaborative innovation management model for pollution reduction and carbon reduction.
Nansha Bridge
According to reports, the Nansha Development Zone has built an ecological industrial network in an all-round way, and guided enterprises to carry out cleaner production audits, ISO14000 certifications, contract energy management, and energy conservation and emission reduction technology transformation by improving the ecological industry information platform. Through the establishment of a green supply chain, cooperation in pollution control between enterprises, the promotion of green models across the industrial chain, and the integrated development of leading industries in automobile manufacturing and electronic information, the ecological industry will be extended to the industrial chain, and the industry in the park will continue to improve quality and efficiency. In 2022, the main pollutant emissions of industrial enterprises in the park decreased by more than 8% year-on-year, and the carbon dioxide emissions per unit of industrial added value decreased by 5% year-on-year.

At the same time, the Nansha Development Zone actively develops new and renewable energy, strengthens the overall planning of energy supply, actively explores the regional energy supply management model, improves the ability to guarantee the supply of clean energy, vigorously develops the hydrogen energy industry, implements projects such as the green port "hydrogen energy" application demonstration project, and encourages enterprises to use the roofs, facades or ancillary idle land of buildings such as workshops, enterprise factories and storage buildings to build distributed photovoltaic power generation projects. In 2022, the total power generation of photovoltaic projects of 15 enterprises in the park will be 85.17 million kWh, 2.7 times that of 2021. With the continuous promotion of energy conservation and consumption reduction of enterprises, the comprehensive energy consumption per unit of industrial added value of Nansha Development Zone has dropped to only about 1/10 of the standard requirements of the National Ecological Industrial Demonstration Park.
The "Nansha Hydrogen Run" project is the first large-scale hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicle demonstration operation project in China
Strategically guided by the important carrying area of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area International Science and Technology Innovation Center and the main carrying area of the Greater Bay Area Comprehensive National Science Center, the Nansha Development Zone has improved the "1+1+3+N" scientific and technological innovation platform system, continued to implement the innovation-driven development strategy, continuously improved the environment for scientific and technological innovation development, collaborated with Hong Kong and Macao to jointly innovate, promoted the local transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements, and empowered traditional advantageous industries with science and technology to improve quality and efficiency. The leading industries in Nansha Development Zone have been upgraded from traditional automobile manufacturing to a new industrial development path with new energy vehicles and intelligent networked vehicles as the addendum. Driven by scientific and technological innovation and industrial integration and innovation, it has provided a strong impetus for the ecological and green development of the industry in Nansha Development Zone.
Establishment of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) in Nansha
In 2022, after obtaining the national climate investment and financing pilot qualification, Nansha New Area will actively build a platform and policy system to support the development of green finance, build the Guangzhou Futures Exchange from a high starting point, further promote the research of new energy, metals, electricity, carbon emission rights and other products, and plan to build a futures industrial park. The construction of major projects such as the International Venture Capital Center, the first in the country to carry out high-level opening-up pilot projects for cross-border trade and investment, and the in-depth implementation of major policies such as free trade (FT) accounts, strive to create a good climate finance ecosystem, and inject "living water from the source" into accelerating the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.
The 2023 Pearl Bay International Climate Investment and Financing Conference was held in Nansha, Guangzhou
According to reports, in the future, Nansha Development Zone will be based on the characteristics of pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions with a high degree of homologous origin, highlight target coordination, task coordination, policy coordination, and regulatory coordination, focus on the leading industries of automobile manufacturing, optimize governance objectives, treatment processes and technical routes, innovate the collaborative control mode of pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, and coordinate the ecological civilization construction demonstration zone (ecological industrial park), Pilot practices such as the National Climate Investment and Financing Pilot Program will explore a long-term mechanism for collaborative management of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, comprehensively improve the comprehensive efficiency of environmental governance in the park, provide important support and inject new impetus into the coordinated fight against pollution, promote the construction of ecological civilization, and achieve high-quality development, and create a "Nansha model" for the synergistic and innovative development of pollution reduction and carbon reduction in industrial parks.
