24 Sep
Summary
- Engineers showcase world-leading carbon storage and wind power technologies.
- Desertification controlled by solar panels, with ambitious expansion plans.
- Unmanned mining projects highlight China's advancements in coal technology.
At a demonstration base in Beijing's Miyun district, China highlighted advancements in its green energy sector during a press conference titled "Strivers on the New Journey." Five distinguished engineers shared their contributions to energy innovation and supply security.
Zhang Deping of CNPC Jilin Oilfield noted their world-leading carbon storage technology, having stored 4.3 million tons of CO2 since 2008. Wang Yuepeng's team developed intelligent live-line working robots for State Grid. Liu Xin is advancing offshore wind turbines for deep-sea generation.
Zheng Sanguo's team completed China's first sand prevention and ecological rehabilitation project, combating desertification over 1,200 hectares with drought-tolerant plants under photovoltaic panels. Future goals include tackling 4,000 hectares of desertification and generating 5 billion kWh annually.
Zhao Yunfei discussed technological upgrades in coal exploration, including the country's first unmanned thin coal seam mining project, emphasizing a future of intelligent and safer coal mining.
