Xinjiang's first solar thermal power station operational
Source: Xinhua| 2019-12-30 16:36:44|Editor: huaxia
URUMQI, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- The first solar thermal power station in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region went into operation Sunday night.
The 50-megawatt power station is located in Naomaohu Township, eastern Xinjiang's city of Hami. Construction of the project began in October 2017 by Energy China.
The project can achieve an annual power supply of 198.3 million kWh, saving 61,900 tonnes of standard coal annually, which is equivalent to reducing emissions of about 61.89 tonnes of sulfur dioxide, 61.89 tonnes of nitrogen oxides, 19.84 tonnes of soot and 154,800 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
The solar thermal power station adopts a "light-heat-electricity" power generation mode. The project works by using tens of thousands of mirrors to concentrate sunlight on a receiver at the top of the tower to create a temperature above 800 degrees Celsius.
Steam with a temperature of over 500 degrees Celsius will then be generated through the heat transfer medium to drive a turbine to produce electricity.
The station is able to generate power 24/7 through the use of molten salt that absorbs the heat, allowing the station to maintain the high temperature, even without a constant stream of sunlight.
In contrast to photovoltaic panels that cannot generate electricity at night and can easily be affected by weather changes, the solar thermal power station can generate power steadily with lower cost and higher efficiency, said Zhang Yanli with the State Grid's Hami branch.

NEWS RELEASE 17-JAN-2020China conducts massive synthesis of liquid solar fuel
Source: Xinhua| 2018-07-06 14:21:17|Editor: Chengcheng
SHENYANG, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have successfully increased the scale of synthesizing liquid solar fuel, taking a step forward to boost the use and output of renewable energy in the country.
Researchers with the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences divided the synthesis process of the liquid solar fuel into two steps: generating hydrogen decomposed from water by solar energy and making liquid fuel via carbon dioxide hydrogenation.
A 1,000-tonne industrialization of liquid solar fuel synthesis project has been launched in Lanzhou, capital city of northwest China's Gansu Province.
Liquid solar fuel is transformed and synthesised from carbon dioxide and water, using solar energy as the sole energy supply. The synthesis process provides clean fuel, as well as utilizing greenhouse gases.
China's western regions have abundant solar energy and other renewable resources. The industrialization of the liquid solar fuel is expected to efficiently promote the utilization and output of the renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gases.
Thousand-ton scale demonstration of solar fuel synthesis starts operation in Lanzhou, China
CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES HEADQUARTERS
The world's first demonstration project for direct solar fuel synthesis started operation in Lanzhou, China on Jan. 17, 2020. The project represents that China now takes the first step in the world for industrial production of liquid fuels from solar energy.
Overall, the project converts carbon dioxide, water and solar energy into transportable liquid fuels such as methanol by taking advantages of three technological units: solar photovoltaics to generate electricity; electrolyzer to split water producing hydrogen; and CO2 hydrogenation to produce methanol in the end.
The project is based on the advanced technologies of electrocatalytic water splitting and CO2 hydrogenation developed by Prof. LI Can's team in the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Prof. LI's team developed new type of electrocatyalysts for electrocatalytic water splitting, which reduces the energy consumption to 4.0-4.2 Kwh/Nm3-H2 for large scale hydrogen production at a rate of 1000 Nm3-H2/h, which is the highest energy conversion efficiency reported so far for the large-scale alkaline water electrolysis.
Prof. LI's team also developed an efficient ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution bimetallic oxide catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. This catalyst can achieve excellent performance in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. The methanol selectivity is over 90% for a single pass in the fixed-bed reaction process, and the performance loss was less than 3% after 3,000 hours of operation under industrial conditions.
The methanol produced by such type of PV-E-C (photovoltaic-electrolyzer-catalysis) process is a true kind of "green methanol." Unlike the methanol production from coal or natural gas which emits CO2, the green methanol as a liquid fuel result in zero carbon emission taking account of carbon footprint.
The methanol produced in the PV-E-C process has more than 10% solar energy conversion efficiency, which is far superior to ca. 1% of solar energy conversion efficiency by natural photosynthesis of the majority plants. Because the green methanol is produced using CO2 and H2O as the initial feed stocks and solar energy as the power source, this PV-E-C process hence can be considered as a truly approach for "artificial photosynthesis of solar fuels" in large scale.
The green solar methanol production demonstrated in Lanzhou is a revolutionary step toward that combining carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCSU) to produce transportable liquid fuels. It may serve as a model and practical process in energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, since such technology is applicable to any renewable energy.

Opportunity blows for offshore wind in China
Offshore wind farms could power much of coastal China
By Leah Burrows | Press contact
February 21, 2020
Under the Paris Climate Agreement, China committed to rely on renewable resources for 20 percent of its energy needs by 2030. Currently, the country is on track to double that commitment, aiming to hit 40 percent by the next decade. Wind power is critical to achieving that goal. Over the past 20 years, China’s wind power capacity has exploded from 0.3 gigawatts to 161 gigawatts.

Chinese Kaishan's Shares Jump on Californian Geothermal Energy Deal
(Yicai Global) March 2 -- Kaishan Compressor's shares rose this morning after the Chinese compressor equipment maker that is turning into a green energy firm said that it has penned a 25-year power supplier deal with the Southern California Public Power Authority.
Kaishan's stock price [SHE: 300257] climbed 4.6 percent to CNY10.05 (USD1.44) in the afternoon with a market cap of CNY8.3 billion (USD1.2 billion).
The Chinese company's US unit Open Mountain Energy and the municipal utilities authority penned a power purchase agreement regarding two of its geothermal plants in Nevada, the Quzhou-based firm said in a statement today. The first one will start generating energy to Glendale's residents on April 1, and the second one a year after that. The price range is from 6.75 US cents to 7.025 US cents per kilowatt-hour.
OME looking to boost its capacity via expansion and asset purchases in the States, the statement said, adding that the company is in talks with the SCPPA and others about more deals.
Besides the US, Kaishan has geothermal projects in Indonesia, Hungary, and Kenya.
