Application of Energy-Carbon Flow Charts in High-Tech Industrial Park

The energy structure and carbon emissions become more and more important for the sustain-able development of a regional construction. The purpose of this paper is to apply the energy-carbon flow charts to analyze the energy use and carbon emissions in a high-tech industrial park. The characteristics of the charts applied in a park are very different from that of a coun-try, a province or a product. The authors propose a preliminary drawing frame to guide the effective application of the chart for a park. The frame presents the steps and focus of the drafting work. A case application is also introduced to illustrate the applicability of the frame to practical problems, the results are very helpful to optimize the energy structure and reduce the carbon emissions.
