China has launched a revolutionary renewable energy plant in the Tengger Desert, a big step towards cleaner practices.
This large-scale project, managed by China Energy Investment Corporation and connected to the grid early this year, shows the country's dedication to using its vast arid regions for sustainable energy production.
According to sources, this project, which is the first phase of a larger plan, has a stunning installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts and is expected to generate 1.8 billion kilowatt-hours per year. This amount, impressively, can power about 1.5 million houses, addressing escalating energy demands. Notably, the project pioneers China's first ultrahigh-voltage power transmission route, delivering clean energy to the province of Hunan, which has a population of over 66 million people.
According to the Five-Year Plan, China's ambitious renewable energy goals include installing 100 gigatonnes of renewable energy, primarily solar and wind, in arid regions by 2026. This strategic decision is consistent with the country's pledge to attain net-zero emissions by 2060, a pledge that emphasizes the importance of global sustainability as a shared duty.
China's position as the greatest emitter of heat-trapping gases, primarily from coal, this renewable program represents a significant move towards a greener energy mix. The encouraging progress demonstrates China's commitment to creating a community with a shared destiny and achieving sustainable development, as outlined by President Xi Jinping in 2021. As the initiative progresses, it contributes to the global effort to battle climate change by demonstrating China's progress towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.
