The Jingjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, and two of its enterprises – Jingjiang Special Steel and Guoxin Jingjiang Power Generation – were recently selected among the first batch of provincial-level pilot zones and enterprises for peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality.
In recent years, Jingjiang ETDZ has been pursuing a comprehensive green and low-carbon transformation by focusing on energy conservation, environmental protection, clean production, and developing a circular economy. Green, innovative, and low-carbon emissions projects have been receiving more resources in the zone.
Jingjiang Special Steel, a globally recognized enterprise for green production in seamless steel pipe manufacturing, has been exploring low-carbon transformation in steel production in recent years. Through energy-saving process modifications, it has achieved optimal energy efficiency in production and a diversified green energy supply, promoting near-zero carbon in steel smelting processes.
Jiangsu Guoxin Jingjiang Power Generation has long pursued the green and low-carbon transformation of its industrial structure. While meeting public electricity demands, it has also explored low-carbon technological upgrades for coal-fired units and large-scale thermal power enterprises to peak carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality.
