Industrial parks, under the framework of the "enterprise relocation to parks" policy, have become a crucial cornerstone of China's industrial green development and play a key role in reducing pollution and mitigating carbon emissions . Taking a chemical industrial park in Shanghai as a case study, this study employed the Tapio-CCD model to explore the synergistic relationships among pollutants, and between the economy and pollutants. Additionally, the DDF-Tobit model was used to investigate the impact of Zero Waste City (ZWC) policy and the synergy of carbon and pollution control on green development in the chemical industrial park.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and Air Pollutant (AP) emissions in Shanghai, highlighting the need for detailed research at the urban level to support green transitions.
  • It analyzes various emission sources, emphasizing the significant impact of energy consumption on emissions and identifying hotspots in industrial areas where co-abatement can be maximized.
  • Recommended strategies include implementing carbon capture technology, enhancing energy efficiency, increasing clean energy use, and retiring outdated vehicles, potentially leading to substantial reductions in CO (68.8%) and APs (47.6%) by 2050.

In megacities, vehicle emissions face urgent challenges related to air pollution and CO control. To achieve the refinement of vehicle control policies for the co-control of air pollutants and CO, this study established a vehicle emission inventory with high spatial and temporal resolution based on the hourly traffic flow in Shanghai and analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the real-time vehicle emissions. Meanwhile, a policy evaluation framework was constructed by combining pollutant emission predictions with quantitative co-control effect assessments.

Article Synopsis
  • China is facing the dual challenge of reducing air pollution while also addressing climate change, necessitating a comprehensive approach to control both CO and other air pollutants.
  • A new indicator, called coupling and coordination degree (CCD), was introduced to analyze the effectiveness of emission controls across 284 Chinese cities from 2009 to 2017, showing an upward trend in CCD distribution.
  • The implementation of China's Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan (APPCAP) led to a 4.0% increase in CCD in cities with special emission limits and positively influenced nearby cities, highlighting the importance of industrial adjustments and technology innovations in pollution control.
