Abstract

In alignment with china’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, this study examines the erdos zero-carbon industrial park (ezcip) to investigate how policy factors (pf), industrial agglomeration (ia), and market interventions (mi) influence energy efficiency (ee) through the mediating role of technological innovation (ti). Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach and structural equation modeling (sem), data were collected through surveys of high-tech and renewable energy companies within ezcip. The findings indicate that policy factors, industrial agglomeration, and market interventions significantly enhance energy efficiency by promoting technological innovation. The study also emphasizes that the integration of policy support, industry clustering, and market mechanisms creates a sustainable cycle of innovation and energy optimization. As one of the first studies focusing specifically on energy efficiency in zero-carbon industrial parks in china, this research extends existing literature by highlighting technological innovation as a critical mediating variable, bridging external drivers and energy efficiency outcomes. Furthermore, this research provides valuable recommendations to policymakers and industry practitioners, offering practical strategies to replicate successes from conventional industrial parks, thereby contributing to the global transition towards low-carbon, sustainable industrial growth.
