内蒙古磴口：沙漠“蓝海”增“绿”记

Core Viewpoint - The project in Inner Mongolia's Bayannur City combines photovoltaic energy generation with ecological restoration, aiming to produce green energy while combating desertification and promoting local biodiversity [1][2]. Group 1: Project Overview - The photovoltaic project covers an area of 44,600 acres and is expected to generate an average annual electricity output of 3.27 billion kWh, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2.07 million tons and saving 1.07 million tons of standard coal annually [1]. - The project employs a "photovoltaic sand control" technique, allowing for sufficient growth space for sand-fixing plants like Haloxylon ammodendron, while also providing shade to reduce evaporation and enhance vegetation growth [1]. Group 2: Ecological and Economic Benefits - The integration of photovoltaic panels with ecological restoration efforts leads to a win-win situation for both economic and ecological benefits, as vegetation growth helps suppress dust and enhances the efficiency of energy generation [1]. - The county has established a photovoltaic installed capacity of 5.36 million kW and has completed ecological restoration over 143,400 acres, including the planting of Haloxylon ammodendron and other species [2]. Group 3: Future Developments - Two energy storage stations have been constructed to support the grid and enhance the consumption of renewable energy, with one station expected to be operational by mid-month and an annual charging capacity of 1 billion kWh [2]. - The county aims to implement a circular industrial development model that integrates energy generation, ecological restoration, and rural revitalization, leveraging the opportunities presented by renewable energy [3].
