Imagine a colossal 'wall' of solar panels stretching across Inner Mongolia’s vast landscapes – but instead of keeping people out, it’s powering millions of homes! This ambitious renewable energy project is accelerating China’s green transition, with wind and solar capacity now surpassing coal for the first time.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) just dubbed China the \"world's renewables powerhouse,\" predicting it’ll deliver 60% of new global renewable capacity by 2028. That’s like adding solar panels to cover 20,000 soccer fields daily!
CGTN’s recent visit to Inner Mongolia revealed how this desert-to-energy hub uses cutting-edge tech to optimize sunlight capture. With coal-rich regions pivoting to renewables, could this be the ultimate glow-up for sustainable development?
Young professionals, take note: China’s $546B renewable investments in 2022 are reshaping global markets. Meanwhile, eco-conscious travelers are eyeing these solar farms as futuristic landmarks. Who knew saving the planet could look this cool?
