(Winter Olympics asked "Ji") "low-carbon Olympic zone" how to build? What are the specifics included?

Shijiazhuang, February 4 ( Xinhua) - The Development Plan for the Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province was approved by the State Council in 2015 to establish the Zhangjiakou Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone. A highlight of the plan is the construction of an internationally leading "low-carbon Olympic zone" in Chongli. So, what are the specific contents of the construction of the low-carbon Olympic zone?

Zhangjiakou, located in the northwest of Hebei Province, is one of the regions with the richest wind and solar energy resources in North China, and is also one of the important ecological conservation areas in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and one of the new energy bases planned by the state.

According to the "Development Plan for the Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province", the low-carbon Olympic Zone carries out construction from the three aspects of building low-carbon Olympic venues, promoting low-carbon municipal and transportation, and building low-carbon residential buildings in accordance with the concept and requirements of holding a "low-carbon Olympic Games", so as to realize that the energy consumption of Olympic venues, regional municipal and transportation and residential heating energy all come from renewable energy, implement the concept of "low-carbon Olympics" from the aspects of low-carbon energy consumption and building energy conservation, and achieve the carbon neutrality goal of the core area of the Olympic Games, from the technical route, implementation path, Evaluation criteria and other aspects, to accumulate rich experience for the regional carbon neutrality target.

The specific contents of the construction of the low-carbon Olympic zone include: the construction of low-carbon Olympic venues, to achieve 100% use of renewable energy for the electricity consumption of the Olympic venues; the implementation of low-carbon municipal and transportation, the use of centralized and distributed combined energy supply mode, the core area of the Olympic public places, the use of electricity and heat all renewable energy, to create a renewable energy transportation system, the transportation in the special area all use renewable energy facilities for energy; to create low-carbon residences, Olympic villages, Chongli County, Heating in major scenic areas and surrounding rural areas is all renewable energy。 (Compiled by Niu Lin)
