... represents a significant step for China towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Large-Scale Project in Gansu The new solar power plant is situated in Gansu Province—a region renowned for its vast desert spaces ideal for the development of solar and wind energy. Two towers, each standing around 200 meters tall, dominate the landscape, surrounded by a massive field of mirrors (heliostats). This is the world's first solar thermal power station designed with two concentrator towers operating on a single ...

... reconsideration of energy procurement from alternative sources. Major corporations are implementing investment projects across various countries. Frequently, these efforts are focused on several areas, with companies actively investing in geothermal plants, wind and hydro energy, biogas energy, and tidal energy. Scientists from around the world have been warning for years about the decline of global reserves of carbon fuels. This raises questions about the generation of energy from alternative sources....

... supporting domestic producers who have significantly increased coal production. In 2023, coal production in China exceeded the 2019 level by 23%, reaching 4,710 million tons. Additionally, China is actively investing in renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power plants, and continues the construction of nuclear and hydroelectric plants. In the first half of 2024, the combined capacity of wind and solar energy in China reached 1180 gigawatts, for the first time exceeding the capacity of coal ...

.... For these and many other reasons, producers are increasingly considering the use of alternative energy. This includes energy from solar, wind, and other sources. Alternative sources present numerous advantages: They operate on renewable resources. Wind, solar, and other energies are inexhaustible. They allow for the selection of specific raw material bases. They offer high profitability, with payback periods of 3-5 years, and in some cases, funds are recovered even faster. Alternative energy employs various technological ...

... Capacity Growth and Environmental Impact Renewable energy sources (RES) continue to gain momentum both globally and in Russia. According to data from the Association for the Development of Renewable Energy (ARVE), over the past year, Russian solar and wind power plants have managed to prevent around 8 million tons of CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere. This indicates a gradual “greening” of the energy sector: although the share of generation based on RES remains relatively small in the overall ...
