On March 18, 2024, the "Boao Near Zero Carbon Demonstration Zone" was launched. After one year of hard work, the demonstration zone has achieved remarkable results in energy conservation and emission reduction, and it has officially announced that it has completed a key leap from "near zero carbon" to "zero carbon". It is reported that the demonstration zone has achieved zero carbon operation by establishing an "eight-in-one" regional carbon reduction layout combining renewable energy utilization, green building transformation, green transportation transformation, new power system construction, material recycling, water resource recycling, ecological transformation of garden landscapes, and intelligent operation, and has achieved zero carbon operation. It has obtained the certification of "zero carbon operation area" issued by the German Energy Agency for the first time in China, meeting the indicator requirements of "zero carbon areas, zero carbon buildings and low carbon buildings" in the national standard "Zero carbon building technical standards", and has reached the level of "international first-class and domestic leading". In the next step, the demonstration zone will continue to explore experience in the operation and management of zero-carbon cities, and strive to promote and apply the experience of the demonstration zone to the vast number of tropical regions, providing the "Chinese answer" for the global "zero carbon standards".
