Boao's Near-Zero-Carbon Demonstration Zone Pioneers Chinese Standards

On February 8, tourists visited the photovoltaic floor tiles at the Press Center on Dongyu Island in Boao,Hainan. Since 2022, Hainan and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development have been creating the BoaoNear-Zero-CarbonDemonstration Zone. By 2024, its carbon emissions dropped 96.2% from 2019.

The zone produces 32 million kWh of green electricity yearly, meeting 17 million kWh of its own needs. It features many carbon-reduction techs like intelligent curtain-wall fans. It won the "Zero-Carbon Operation Area Certification" and issued relevant standards.

As it sets Chinese zero-carbon standards, it also eyes international recognition, offering solutions for global near-zero-carbon efforts.
