ABSTRACT

To achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutralization, we need to accelerate the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, implement renewable energy substitution actions, and constantly increase the proportion of non fossil energy consumption. China's deserts, Gobi and desert areas cover a vast area, and solar energy resources are abundant. The regions that can be developed by technology account for more than 60% of the whole country. Give full play to the characteristics of desert, Gobi and desert areas that are rich in wind and solar energy resources, have good construction conditions, and are less affected by land use. In combination with the power grid and consumption and utilization conditions, comprehensively promote large-scale development and high-quality development of solar energy, it is an important measure to promote the clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient transformation of the energy structure. To vigorously develop photovoltaic projects in desert, Gobi and desert areas, we need to adhere to large-scale and intensive development, to adhere to multi energy complementary ecological integration development, demonstration and guidance, which can help strengthen the comprehensive utilization of land, solar energy resources and other resources, and also  obtain significant ecological, economic and carbon reduction benefits. At the same time, developing photovoltaic bases in desert regions can also improve the supply capacity of renewable energy and increase the supply level of clean low-carbon energy.
