Unleashing the Potential of Industrial Clusters 2025

Envision, together with the city of Ordos, co-built the world’s first net-zero industrial park. The Ordos-Envision Net-Zero Industrial Park in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, in China, demonstrates a strategic approach to managing power demand within an industrial park setting. The Ordos-Envision Net-Zero Industrial Park will integrate the supply chains of several industries, such as EV and battery manufacturing. Ordos is the world’s largest city economy reliant on coal, currently generating about 16% of China’s coal production. Consequently, the city faces immense pressure to shift towards clean energy sources. The industrial park will feature a comprehensive clean energy solution, powered by the latest wind, solar and hydrogen power technologies. A new renewable energy system powered by the internet of things (IoT) will dynamically manage the aggregate power demand based on solar/wind energy generation, battery storage charging/discharging and grid power usage. With the battery industry as the core, the park attracts upstream and downstream companies to establish their presence within its grounds. By linking new energy and new industries, Envision is building the infrastructure for a new industrial revolution. This transition, powered by 5 TWh/year of locally sourced renewables, is designed to achieve full net-zero operations while setting a clear example for further clean energy investments. The park aims to reduce carbon emissions by tens of millions of tonnes annually by 2025, all while creating tens of thousands of jobs in green technology. ‘Helping humanity solve the challenges of a sustainable future’ – we have never wavered from this mission. As we grow our roster of partners to fight climate change, we remain firm in our commitment to a brighter, boundless future for all mankind.
