China DailyBy ZHENG CAIXIONG and GUO JUN in Nanjing | China Daily | Updated: 2024-09-11 09:44 An aerial drone photo taken on June 6, 2024 shows the wind power equipment at a low carbon-dioxide emission industrial park in Sheyang, Yancheng, East China's Jiangsu province. Meanwhile, new energy generation accounts for about 65 percent of the total electricity consumption of Yancheng, making it a truly global capital of green energy, Zhang said. The mayor said the city is actively exploring the development potential of the green energy industry and accelerating the construction of offshore wind and luminous energy comprehensive utilization bases, promoting the integrated development of "wind, luminous, hydrogen and energy storage" industries, to achieve the goal of an industrial production of 200 billion yuan and installed capacity of more than 20 million kW of the new energy industry by 2025. Hu Guirong, director of the development division of State Grid Yancheng Power Supply Co, said green energy has significant advantages compared to traditional energy, as green energy sources, including wind and light, produce little pollutants, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to achieving the dual carbon goals. "Yancheng has abundant green energy resources, and we have installed photovoltaic power generation equipment in the factory area, achieving 100 percent green energy usage in the production process this year, implementing the concept of green development throughout the entire production process."
