Eco Industrial Park and Decarbonization in the Industrial Sector

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to report on trends toward decarbonization in industrial parks by industrial symbiosis and eco-industrial parks. First, it describes their position in recent trials and introduced a related symposium and site visit in 2023 in Ulsan. We then outline the efforts of South Korea, a leading example of an eco-industrial park, and introduce the supporting initiatives of international organizations. We indicate that not only each individual park effort, but also collaboration with other industrial parks and international partnerships are important to realize decarbonize industrial complexes.
