On 2 June, to thoroughly implement the “Dual Carbon” strategic arrangements, pursue the goal of green, low‑carbon and high‑quality development for industrial parks, and advance the planning and construction of near‑zero‑carbon and zero‑carbon parks, Jia Jingyuan, Vice Mayor of Zhenjiang and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Economic and Technological Development Zone, met Zheng Haiqing, General Manager of Jiangsu Halidom New Energy (Group) Co., Ltd., at the Administrative Committee of the Development Zone. He received a special briefing on the zero‑carbon park project and issued instructions on project construction and joint government‑enterprise efforts to build zero‑carbon industries, clarifying the direction for subsequent project delivery. Huang Shanfan, Chairman of Jiangsu Gaoling Carbon Information Industrial Internet Co., Ltd., attended the meeting. Zheng Haiqing, General Manager of Halidom Group, delivered the special presentation on behalf of the enterprise.

During the presentation, Zheng Haiqing, General Manager of Halidom New Energy, gave a detailed briefing covering the overall project layout, local resource endowments, technical implementation pathways, construction phasing and market‑based cooperation models, drawing on the company’s integrated solution framework for zero‑carbon parks.The zero‑carbon park project in Aksu, Xinjiang, has been signed. At this stage, the company is focusing on liaison with partners, scheme refinement, pre‑project approval and other preparatory work to lay a solid foundation for construction commencement and subsequent operation.

Tailored to local industrial and resource conditions in Aksu, the project adopts an overarching “source-grid-load-storage-intelligence” five-in-one framework. It builds an integrated development system encompassing clean energy supply, energy-saving retrofits for carbon reduction, full‑cycle carbon asset management and green industrial clustering.The project integrates proven technologies including distributed new energy, multi-energy complementary heat pumps, energy storage systems, waste heat recovery, green hydrogen development and a smart energy-carbon digital platform. It replaces fossil fuels at source, taps energy-saving potential in operational processes and deploys carbon sinks for offsetting at the final stage, systematically addressing the park’s challenges of high energy consumption and high emissions.Implementation will proceed in three phases: planning preparation, engineering construction and long-term operation. The project aims to become a regional zero‑-carbon benchmark, develop a replicable and transferable model for park construction and operation, and provide practical experience for low‑carbon retrofits of industrial parks nationwide.

As a full-lifecycle integrated energy and carbon service provider, Halidom holds multiple invention patents for energy-saving equipment and software copyrights for energy management systems. It has established strategic cooperation with research institutions including the Environmental Development Centre of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as major domestic state-owned energy enterprises. The company has delivered numerous physical projects involving photovoltaics, energy storage and low-carbon parks. It can flexibly adopt diverse cooperation models such as EPC+O, PPP, green industry funds and industrial introduction. Supported by local special incentive policies for zero-carbon initiatives, Halidom delivers comprehensive safeguards to improve quality and reduce costs throughout project construction.

After listening carefully to the presentation, Vice Mayor Jia Jingyuan fully recognised Halidom’s industrial layout and technical capacity in near-zero-carbon and zero-carbon fields, as well as the preliminary progress of the Aksu project. He noted that the development of near-zero-carbon and zero-carbon parks is a key measure for fulfilling the Dual Carbon targets, meeting carbon emission assessment requirements and driving the transformation and upgrading of industrial parks. Such developments boast broad prospects and strong demonstration value.

Regarding next steps, Vice Mayor Jia emphasised that Zhenjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone will continue to focus on fostering green and low-carbon industries, build high-quality platforms for government-enterprise collaboration and fully support the roll-out of low-carbon and zero-carbon park projects. He expressed the hope that while steadily advancing all preliminary work for the Aksu zero-carbon park project in Xinjiang, refining the implementation plan and constructing a benchmark project to high standards, the enterprise will seize the opportunities for zero-carbon park development within the Development Zone. Drawing on experience gained from project delivery, Halidom should advance innovation in technologies and business models, bring proven technical solutions and industrial chain resources to the zone, and jointly promote the planning, delivery and upgrading of local zero-carbon parks.

This meeting streamlined communication channels between the government and the enterprise, aligned park development needs with the company’s project plans and built consensus for cooperation. It laid a solid foundation for Halidom to accelerate the delivery of the Aksu project in Xinjiang, expand its zero-carbon business in Zhenjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone and deepen all-round strategic cooperation.

Building on the outcomes of the discussion, Halidom will strictly comply with relevant Dual Carbon policies and the requirements set out at the meeting. On one hand, it will keep track of key milestones for the Aksu project and push forward plan refinement, commercial negotiations and pre-implementation preparations. On the other hand, it will follow the Development Zone’s zero-carbon park development arrangements, liaise with local planning authorities and develop customised site-specific construction proposals to participate fully in the planning and development of zero-carbon parks in the zone. The company will continue to leverage its strengths in technology and industrial chain integration, deepen government-enterprise collaboration and support high-quality growth of green and low-carbon industries across multiple regions through the delivery of benchmark zero-carbon projects.
