Emerging technologies are paving the way for a more sustainable chemical production industry in Linzi district in Zibo, Shandong province, alongside other changes to make the district's heavy industries more environmentally friendly. As one of China's major chemical manufacturing bases, Linzi had 135 new industrial robot manufacturing units, 16 new AI factory workshops and 25 city-level incubation platforms for high-tech factories last year. "Tech adaptation in industrial infrastructure like workshops has certainly helped local companies to improve production efficiency and reduce emissions," said Bai Pinghe, head of Linzi district. We hope major chemical makers in Linzi can continue playing a lead role in developing a more mature industrial chain," Bai said.
