Core Insights - Ordos City, known as "China's coal capital," has been a leader in photovoltaic (PV) desertification control, benefiting from reduced sandstorms and increased solar power generation in recent years [1][2][4] Group 1: Photovoltaic Desertification Control - The 2 million kW PV desertification project in the Kubuqi Desert, initiated in June 2022, is expected to generate 4.1 billion kWh annually, saving 1.23 million tons of standard coal and reducing CO2 emissions by 3.198 million tons [2][3] - The project utilizes a dual function of PV panels for power generation and sand fixation, creating a "small greenhouse" effect that promotes plant growth [3][4] - Ordos has approved a total of 39.79 million kW of PV capacity, with 10.02 million kW already built, and plans to achieve over 3 million acres of PV desertification control upon full project completion [5] Group 2: Economic and Agricultural Benefits - Local farmers have benefited economically from planting vegetables like tomatoes under PV panels, with reported incomes of 50,000 yuan from 12 acres of cultivation [2][3] - The integration of solar water pumps and precision drip irrigation has effectively addressed irrigation challenges in desert areas, enhancing vegetation productivity and soil quality [6] Group 3: Future Development and Challenges - Experts highlight the need for standardized construction and recognition criteria for PV desertification projects to facilitate broader implementation [7][8] - Recommendations include promoting successful models of renewable energy and ecological restoration, and developing policies to encourage the integration of PV with other agricultural and ecological projects [7][8]

被外界誉为"中国煤炭大市"的鄂尔多斯，在光伏治沙领域一直走在中国前列，过去数年间，这座资源型 城市在光伏治沙领域，到底有哪些与众不同之处，在未来发展中，还需要做好哪些工作? 近日，中新网记者来到鄂尔多斯进行了调研。调研中发现，鄂尔多斯政府乃至企业受益于光伏治沙，这 几年在光伏发电上网之外，沙尘暴也明显减少了。但展望未来，依然需要更科学、有序地解决光伏治沙 可持续发展的问题。 光伏板与西红柿 杜洪光介绍，蒙西基地库布其200万千瓦光伏治沙项目，2022年6月开工建设，2023年12月竣工并网发 电，项目年均发电41亿千瓦时，相当于节约123万吨标准煤，减少319.8万吨二氧化碳排放，每年还能为 黄河"减负"200万吨泥沙。 深秋的库布其沙漠腹地，杜洪光瞅着眼前的光伏板心情大好。他俯身摘了光伏板下种植的西红柿，旁若 无人地吃了起来。一边吃，一边对记者说："这是有机的，放心吃。" "这些西红柿，卖到上海，一斤至少20元。"杜洪光认为，在过去几年间，当地农牧民依靠光伏板下种植 蔬菜等，走上了致富之路。 当地民众郝耀告诉记者，"今年在光伏板下种植了12亩西红柿等蔬菜，目前已收入了5万元，主要销往 北、上、广、深等一线城 ...

Core Viewpoint - Ordos, known as "China's coal capital," has been a leader in photovoltaic (PV) desertification control, benefiting from reduced sandstorms and increased agricultural productivity through innovative PV projects [1][3][6] Group 1: Photovoltaic Projects and Economic Impact - The 2 million kW PV desertification project in the Kubuqi Desert began construction in June 2022 and is expected to generate 4.1 billion kWh annually, saving 1.23 million tons of standard coal and reducing CO2 emissions by 3.198 million tons [3][4] - Local farmers have reported significant income from crops grown under PV panels, with one farmer earning 50,000 yuan from 12 acres of tomatoes sold to major cities [3][4] Group 2: Environmental Benefits and Sustainability - The dual function of PV panels in desert areas helps stabilize sand, conserve water, and create microclimates for plant growth, contributing to sustainable desert management [4][5] - The integration of PV and desertification control is seen as a way to enhance ecological restoration and carbon sequestration, with the potential for improved vegetation and soil quality [7][9] Group 3: Future Development and Challenges - Ordos has approved a total of 39.79 million kW of PV capacity, with plans to achieve over 30 million acres of PV desertification control, creating a "PV Great Wall" to protect the Yellow River [6][7] - Experts highlight the need for standardized construction and recognition criteria for PV desertification projects to facilitate broader implementation and success [8][9]
