the ledong power plant under chn energy hainan company has undergone environmental protection upgrades and adopted several domestically pioneering technologies, achieving the goal of “ultra-low near-zero emissions.”
the “ultra-low near-zero emissions pattern” refers to the near-zero emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter throughout the entire production process, with zero wastewater discharge. in the ledong power plant, emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides have been reduced to less than 10 milligrams per standard cubic meter, far below the european and american power plants’ emission standards of 200 milligrams per standard cubic meter; smoke and dust emissions have been reduced to 1 milligram per standard cubic meter, while the emission standard for particulate matter in european and american power plants is 30 milligrams per standard cubic meter.
new energy generation - boao near zero carbon demonstration zone
currently, china's wind and solar power generation capacity exceeds 1.1 billion kilowatts, accounting for 37.3 percent of china's total installed power generation capacity. the boao near zero carbon demonstration zone represents the latest new energy developing achievement under chn energy.
in the demonstration zone, there are plenty of new energy facilities. next to the dock, the flower-shaped wind turbines are exquisitely beautiful and can start at wind speeds as low as 1.2 meters per second. the intelligent integrated light poles have multiple functions, including photovoltaic lighting, video surveillance, environmental monitoring, and information dissemination. the agricultural photovoltaic complementary base not only produces fruits and vegetables for the local market but also generates about 25 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity annually.
the boao near zero carbon demonstration zone covers a total area of 190.15 hectares. chn energy focuses on carbon reduction and transformation in three core areas: renewable energy utilization, green transportation, and green building transformation. after the transformation, the overall energy consumption of buildings in the zone has decreased by nearly 50 percent, and the energy consumption of transportation vehicles on the island has decreased by 80 percent.
