Yangquan City's Plan for Green Energy Development through Hydrogen and Biomass
Key Ideas
  • Yangquan City's Energy Bureau has released an implementation plan focusing on the development of green energy, including hydrogen production through water electrolysis using renewable sources like wind and solar power.
  • The plan encourages the utilization of geothermal energy for heating and cooling needs, along with clustered utilization of shallow geothermal energy, and promotes biomass energy comprehensive utilization.
  • Efforts are directed towards controlling oil consumption, shifting bulk cargo transportation from road to rail, and promoting EVs, LNG heavy-duty trucks, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to reduce gasoline and diesel consumption.
  • The city aims to advance technologies in green development, including hydrogen energy, carbon capture, energy storage, and zero-carbon energy supply to achieve sustainable energy goals by 2030.
The Yangquan Municipal Energy Bureau in China recently announced the 'Implementation Plan for Carbon Peak in the Energy Sector of Yangquan City,' focusing on green energy development. The plan emphasizes the exploration and promotion of various energy forms, with a significant emphasis on hydrogen, biomass, and geothermal energy. Specifically, the plan advocates for the transition from grey hydrogen to green hydrogen through the active exploration of renewable energy-based water electrolysis projects using sources like wind and solar power. It also encourages the development of geothermal energy for heating and cooling needs and the utilization of shallow geothermal energy clusters. The promotion of biomass energy comprehensive utilization is a key aspect of the plan, with a focus on power generation and heating using agricultural crop straw, municipal solid waste, and livestock and poultry manure. The city plans to implement biomass cogeneration projects and municipal solid waste incineration power generation projects to further advance its green energy initiatives. Moreover, the plan addresses the transportation sector's role in green energy by advocating for the promotion of EVs, LNG heavy-duty trucks, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to reduce reliance on traditional fuels like gasoline and diesel. Efforts are also directed towards controlling oil consumption and encouraging multimodal transportation to shift bulk cargo from road to rail. Additionally, the plan highlights the importance of advancing technologies in green development, focusing on areas such as carbon capture, hydrogen energy, energy storage, and zero-carbon energy supply. By enhancing these technologies and promoting sustainable energy practices, Yangquan City aims to achieve its carbon peak goals and contribute to a more environmentally friendly energy sector by 2030.
