An innovative service alliance was established for the zero-carbon industrial park the same day, featuring Lin-gang Group, Shanghai Electric, State Grid Corporation of China, Shanghai Energy Efficiency Center, Shanghai Center for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Shanghai University of Electric Power as members. 

The alliance is expected to bring together its resources and technological strengths to provide enterprises in the industrial park with one-stop services, spanning energy transition, carbon asset management, energy conservation, carbon reduction, and comprehensive resource utilization.

Shanghai Electric outlined a systematic pathway for the park's low-carbon transformation by releasing 10 key application scenarios. They include direct green power supply, energy and carbon management platforms, energy-saving retrofits, zero-carbon factories, green substitution of natural gas, and virtual power plants.
