Abstract

Due to its climate benefits, wind energy plays an increasingly important role in reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emission, as well as mitigating climate change. China's 159 overseas industrial parks (COIPs) are situated in places with large amounts of wind energy potential, which demonstrates massive investment opportunities for project investors and financial institutions. This research evaluates the onshore wind technical potential in those COIPs using the direct calculation method based on the China's Overseas Industrial Park Dataset (COIPD) and the Global Wind Atlas. “Technical potential” in our paper refers to the amount of wind energy that could be harnessed using current technologies, accounting for land use constraints, after considering land use restrictions. Results indicate that COIPs possess 1.81 ∗ 10⁵–4.37 ∗ 10⁵ GWh of potential wind energy, with the highest concentrations in Russia (50.7 % and 49.6 %), Mozambique (8.6 % and 8.4 %), and Cambodia (7.8 % and 7.6 %). Regionally, North Eurasia (50.7 % and 49.6 %) holds the greatest potential, followed by Southeast Asia (13.4 % and 13.4 %), South Africa (11.2 % and 11.2 %). Agro-industrial parks¹ contribute the most among all six categories of COIPs. Wind projects in these parks could attract ¥383 million in investment. These findings highlight the significant opportunity for COIP wind projects to support global climate goals.

中国海外工业园区陆上风能潜力评估

由于其气候效益，风能在减少空气污染和温室气体排放以及减缓气候变化方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。中国159个海外产业园区都位于风能潜力大的地区，为项目投资者和金融机构提供了巨大的投资机会。本文基于中国海外工业园区数据集（COIPD）和全球风能地图集，采用直接计算方法，对中国海外工业园区的陆上风电技术潜力进行了评估。在我们的论文中，“技术潜力”指的是在考虑土地使用限制后，考虑土地使用限制，利用现有技术可以利用的风能量。结果表明，cops的潜在风能为1.81∗105 - 4.37∗105 GWh，其中俄罗斯（50.7%和49.6%）、莫桑比克（8.6%和8.4%）和柬埔寨（7.8%和7.6%）的密度最高。从区域来看，欧亚大陆北部（50.7%和49.6%）潜力最大，其次是东南亚（13.4%和13.4%），南非（11.2%和11.2%）。农业工业园区1在所有6类coip中贡献最大。这些园区的风电项目可吸引3.83亿日元的投资。这些发现凸显了COIP风电项目支持全球气候目标的重大机遇。
