Hainan's Zero-Carbon Zone Showcases Green Technology Practices

Boao (ANTARA) - Since the “Boao Near-Zero Carbon Pilot Zone” was renamed to the “Boao Zero-Carbon Pilot Zone” in March 2025, the zone has recorded significant progress in energy conservation and carbon reduction, fully entering the phase of normalised zero-carbon operations.

According to measured data, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions from buildings and urban infrastructure in the zone have decreased from 11,350.1 tonnes in 2019 to around 14.6 tonnes in 2025, a reduction of 99.9 percent.

The zone produces 29 million kWh of green electricity per year, meeting its annual electricity demand of about 19.4 million kWh, with the remaining 9.6 million kWh fed into the public electricity grid, according to a Xinhua report.
