Let’s take a look at the ten-year development of chemical technology; it’s truly wonderful to see how prosperous and strong China has become! This is just a starting point—the more people participate, the livelier the discussion will be. With you here, Haichuan becomes even more wonderful! [Ten Years of Great Development in Chemical Equipment] This is a continuously updated summary thread; everyone is welcome to join the discussion: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html Prevention comes first; human lives are paramount. ----------------------------------------- On October 30, 2023, the signing ceremony for the 3.5 GW integrated demonstration project on generating aviation fuel through wind, solar, and hydrogen energy while combating desertification in Ulan Buh, Alxa, took place. 　　The total investment for this project is 25.433 billion yuan; it aims to establish a zero-carbon industrial base that integrates sand prevention and control with the development of new energy sources. The project involves the construction of 1 million mu of forest belts in the Ely Alxa base, along with 3.5 GW of integrated ecological wind and solar power systems for sand control, as well as the production of 300,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The project construction period is from March 2024 to July 2025, and upon completion, it will generate an additional income of 5.8 billion yuan per year. 　　This project involves the construction of 3.5 million kilowatts of centralized wind and solar power facilities, 525 MW/1050 MWh of electrochemical energy storage systems, hydrogen production units with a capacity of 390,000 cubic meters per hour, hydrogen storage facilities with a capacity of 780,000 cubic meters, 300,000 tons of aviation fuel, an integrated intelligent control system, as well as supporting infrastructure. 　　Following the innovative low-carbon development model of \"greening + green electricity + green hydrogen + green aviation fuel\", the 3.5 GW wind and solar power plant that has been built generates 6.45 billion kWh of electricity per year. Of this: 4.196 billion kWh is used for hydrogen production, yielding 75,000 tons of hydrogen per year, while 962 million kWh is used to produce 800,000 tons of green steam. Green aviation fuel is produced by combining green hydrogen with syngas generated from the gasification of 700,000 tons (on a dry basis) of Salix shrubs, thereby creating the world’s largest production facility for SAF green aviation fuel, with an annual output of 300,000 tons.
