It coordinates efforts to promote low-carbon industrial development, clean and efficient energy utilization, and efficient land use, achieving both economic growth and ecological improvement. Currently, the zone hosts over 500 companies specializing in new energy and energy-saving environmental protection, with an output value exceeding 130 billion yuan ($18 billion) in 2023. The Hefei high-tech carbon cloud platform, launched on March 11, provides enterprises with intelligent carbon management tools to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions along key industrial chains.
