6 FAQs about [Xinhongguang Solar Power Generation]
What is Xinjiang's new energy push?
Xinjiang's new energy push is part of the country's accelerating shift from fossil fuels to clean energy. Official data showed that China's installed capacity of renewable energy power generation totaled 930 million kilowatts by the end of 2020, accounting for 42.4 percent of the country's total.
What is Xinjiang's solar power station?
At the very center of the "sun" stands a 220-meter-high tower. It is not a mysterious ritual from the old days, nor artwork. The project is a modern attempt by the region to capitalize on its abundant solar energy and turn it into heat and power. The photothermal power station is the first of its kind in Xinjiang.
How much green energy does Xinjiang have?
According to Wang, the base can generate about 2.1 billion kWh of electricity from green energy annually, nearly 4.5 percent of Shihezi's total electricity output in 2022, saving 650,000 tonnes of standard coal. Xinjiang's installed power capacity from new energy sources has surpassed 62 million kilowatts.
How much solar power does China have in 2023?
China added almost twice as much utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in 2023 than in any other year. By the first quarter of 2024, China’s total utility-scale solar and wind capacity reached 758 GW, though data from China Electricity Council put the total capacity, including distributed solar, at 1,120 GW .
Can China make more solar power?
China can now make more solar power than the rest of the world. Data released by China’s National Agency last week revealed that the country’s solar electric power generation capacity grew by a staggering 55.2 percent in 2023. The numbers highlight over 216 gigawatts (GW) of solar power China built during the year.
What is Xinjiang's hydrogen project?
Utilizing the abundant solar resources in Xinjiang, the Project has an electrolyzed water hydrogen plant with an annual capacity of 20,000 tons, a spherical hydrogen storage tank with a hydrogen storage capacity of 210,000 standard cubic meters, and hydrogen transmission pipelines with a capacity of 28,000 standard cubic meters per hour.
