Envision’s Net-Zero Industrial Park: A Global Benchmark

Jan. 24, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ —  The World Economic Forum (WEF) highlights Envision Energy’s Ordos-Envision Net-Zero Industrial Park as a global benchmark for sustainable industrial development. This pioneering project, featured in a WEF white paper, showcases a comprehensive clean energy solution using wind, solar, and hydrogen power, achieving net-zero emissions. Envision Energy’s innovative model, recognised for three consecutive years by the WEF, is expanding globally, including partnerships in Europe and the Middle East to promote green hydrogen production. The company’s leadership in this area has earned it significant accolades, solidifying its position as a key player in the global transition to clean energy. The initiative’s success demonstrates the potential of collaborative industrial clusters to accelerate clean energy deployment.

The net-zero industrial park model addresses several global challenges, particularly those related to climate change and sustainable development. Here’s a breakdown:

Clean Energy Infrastructure: The model tackles the challenge of deploying clean energy infrastructure by showcasing how industrial clusters can be leveraged to achieve outcomes that would be unattainable in isolation. It provides a comprehensive clean energy solution powered by wind, solar, and hydrogen technologies.

Grid Connectivity Constraints: The net-zero industrial park model overcomes the limitations of traditional grid systems by using independent renewable energy systems managed with IoT. This enables industrial-scale off-grid solutions, unlocking the full potential of renewable energy.

Industrial Decarbonisation: By connecting renewable energy solutions with emerging industries, the model drives a new industrial revolution. This helps to decarbonise industrial processes, and it contributes to the global transition to clean energy. The Ordos-Envision Net-Zero Industrial Park serves as an example of this.

Green Hydrogen Production: The model facilitates the industrialisation of green hydrogen as a “new oil” by developing the world’s first and largest commercial-scale green hydrogen and ammonia project. This is significant in the context of the global shift towards sustainable fuels.

Economic Development: The net-zero industrial park model enables developing countries to leverage their renewable energy resources to establish industrial clusters and build industrial ecosystems. This can lead to industrial upgrades and green development.

Climate Transition: The model is designed to reshape global trades and supply chains in the context of climate transition. It enables a new industrial ecosystem to emerge, that is focused on sustainability.

Global Collaboration: The model highlights the need for collaboration both within and across industrial clusters, to drive progress in clean energy transition.

Setting Benchmarks: The Ordos-Envision Net-Zero Industrial Park is recognized for setting a new benchmark for innovative net-zero industrial park models. This serves as a model for other regions and industrial sectors as they address climate challenges.

The Ordos-Envision Net-Zero Industrial Park is powered by a comprehensive clean energy solution that includes the latest wind, solar, and hydrogen power technologies. The park also uses an independent renewable energy system that is dynamically managed using IoT, enabling it to manage power demand and operate off-grid. This system allows the park to unlock the full potential of renewable energy without relying on traditional grid connections.

Envision Energy has developed the world’s first and largest commercial-scale green hydrogen and ammonia project, with a total capacity of **1.5 million tons**. This project is part of Envision’s net-zero industrial park model and represents a significant step towards the global industrialisation of green hydrogen.
