Solar Panels and Vegetation Project Revitalizes Desertified Grassland in Inner Mongolia
SOLAR ENERGY
A restoration project in Inner Mongolia's Darhan Muminggan Joint Banner has successfully revitalized 700 hectares of desertified grassland by integrating solar panel installation with the planting of drought-resistant vegetation. This initiative generates approximately 90 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, enhances vegetation coverage to nearly 39%, and is projected to save over 39,000 metric tons of coal while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 73,000 tons each year. Additionally, the project supports the local economy through the cultivation of caragana shrubs, providing a low-cost feed source for livestock.
