Sinopec participates in onshore wind power projects
Thread Content
On July 8, the distributed wind power project of Xinxing Petroleum in Dali, Weinan, Shaanxi Province, commenced construction; this is Sinopec’s first onshore wind power project. The Dali distributed wind power project is an important initiative by Xingxing Petroleum Company, as a green energy demonstration enterprise of Sinopec, to advance the achievement of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals and to contribute to the development of an industrial structure characterized by \"one foundation, two wings, and three innovations.\" The total installed capacity of the project is 20 megawatts, and it is scheduled to be connected to the power grid this year. Once operational, it will generate 42.86 million kWh of electricity per year, allowing for the savings of 13,200 tons of standard coal and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 39,600 tons per year. Next, Xingxing Petroleum Company will aim to deliver high-quality projects by organizing work carefully and carrying out construction in a scientific manner; while ensuring the safety and quality of the projects, it will strive to complete them and put them into operation on schedule.
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 13 (Reporter Anna) – The reporter learned on the 13th from Sinopec Group Co., Ltd. that the Dali distributed wind power project developed by Sinopec Xinxing Petroleum Company has recently begun construction in Weinan, Shaanxi Province, with a total installed capacity of 20 megawatts. This is Sinopec’s first onshore wind power project. A responsible official from Sinopec said that the Dali distributed wind power project will involve the installation of 8 wind turbines. Once completed, it will generate 42.86 million kWh of electricity per year, save 13,200 tons of standard coal annually, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 39,600 tons per year. Completion and commissioning of the project are expected by the end of October this year.
Industry experts explain that distributed wind power is a small-scale, decentralized power generation method that is located near end-users and offers high efficiency and reliability. Although its total capacity is limited, it can make use of the existing power grid for power transmission, which enhances flexibility and enables effective utilization as well as local consumption of wind energy resources. Furthermore, the reporter learned from Sinopec that in 2020 the company set out to become a world-leading clean energy and chemical enterprise, focusing on building a new energy supply system based on a combination of wind, solar, thermal, and hydrogen energy sources. In the field of solar energy, efforts are being made to establish photovoltaic power generation stations; 160 such stations have already been set up in places such as Hainan, Guangxi, and Yunnan. In terms of geothermal energy, the area covered by geothermal heating amounts to 80 million square meters, accounting for over 30% of the country’s total geothermal heating area. In the field of hydrogen energy, breakthroughs have been achieved in various areas such as hydrogen refueling stations, hydrogen production technologies, and hydrogen fuel cells. Currently, hydrogen production accounts for around 14% of the country’s total output. High-purity hydrogen production facilities have been established at companies like Yanshan Petrochemical and Guangzhou Petrochemical, and 20 hydrogen refueling stations have been built and put into operation in 13 provinces and cities including Guangdong and Shanghai.
Efforts are being made to build a new energy supply system featuring complementary multiple energy sources, led by wind, solar, geothermal, and hydrogen.
