The research on the low carbon industrial park index (I¬LCIP ): Applied in trang bang industrial park in Tay Ninh province

Abstract

The process of developing industrial parks (IPs) is facing many challenges in terms of environmental pollution due to various types of waste, wastewater and especially greenhouse gas emissions. To evaluate the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions from industrial park development, this requires an effective tool to identify, analyze and assess carbon emissions from industrial zones is needed. The low cacbon industrial park index ((I¬LCIP) is the general measure to reflect the activities of the industrial park in the ways to conform with the purpose of the low cacbon economy, the national strategy on climate change and green growth. This paper chooses the Min – Max normalization method to standardize the collected data on the range of common values from 1 to 100. Based on the I¬LCIP assessment index applied to industrial park, we can classify industrial park according to 5 levels: very high carbon emission industrial zone, high carbon emission industrial zone, medium carbon emission industrial zone, low carbon emission industrial zones and the industrial park has very low carbon emissions. The low carbon industrial park index was applyied to assess and classify Trang Bang industrial park, Tay ninh province. The result showed that, the low carbon industrial park index of Trang Bang industrial park is in the range of 27,99 – 62,14 in the period 2016 – 2020. The Trang Bang industrial park is classified with 03 levels: medium carbon emission industrial zone, high carbon emission industrial zone and very high carbon emission industrial zone.
