Summary
- Carbon storage technology in oilfields has achieved world-leading status.
- Intelligent robots are now widely used for live-line electrical work.
- Vast areas are being rehabilitated and used for solar power generation.
In Beijing's Miyun district, a solar photovoltaic project showcases a commitment to green energy and wasteland reclamation. Five distinguished engineers, aged 37 to 47, recently shared their grassroots dedication and innovations at a news conference.
Zhang Deping highlighted world-leading carbon storage technology in oilfields, with over 4.3 million tons of CO2 stored since 2008. Wang Yuepeng discussed the wide application of intelligent live-line working robots. Liu Xin is developing advanced offshore wind turbines for deep-sea generation.
Zheng Sanguo detailed China's first sand prevention and ecological rehabilitation project, which has controlled desertification over 1,200 hectares using drought-tolerant plants under solar panels. Future goals include tackling 4,000 hectares of desertification and generating significant clean electricity.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yunfei reported on technological upgrades in coal exploration, including the first unmanned thin coal seam mining project, envisioning safer and smarter intelligent coal mining.
