World’s Biggest Floating Solar Power Plant launched in China

-

By Muqbil Ahmar

 While the United States of America has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement, Asian superpower China is marching towards emission reduction as well as renewable energy commitments. The world’s biggest floating solar power plant has been made operational in Huainan city, Eastern China. The 40-MW plant is situated on a reservoir and is in close proximity to the city. Offshore from Huainan, the plant has been successfully connected with the power grid. Being offshore, it does not take up space and uses less energy than solar farms as seawater acts as a coolant.

 Sungrow, the world's leading photovoltaic system supplier, has set up the plant. Floating solar power plants can be set up on water bodies such as lakes and seas, particularly near cities where land availability is less.

 China faces massive air pollution

 China, the most populated country on the globe is facing high degrees of air pollution, which is estimated to kill 1.1 million people annually in the country. A major reason for air pollution in China is emissions from automobiles, power plants and factories. The plant will push China towards becoming what some call a green superpower. Solar power is fast becoming key component of the Chinese strategy, as similar projects keep coming up all over China.

 China is shutting down polluting factories and thermal power plants. In March, the country cancelled plans of constructing 103 new thermal plants (combined capacity 120 GW). It has also started promoting electric vehicles as well as renewable energy substantially. India can learn a lot from how the Chinese are marching ahead on the road to clean and green energy.

 Global warming, climate change, pollution at alarming levels

 Global warming, climate change, and environmental degradation confront mankind, although it’s another matter that US President Donald Trump trashes all evidence and has pulled the USA out of the Paris Climate Accord. NASA—also part of the United States—figures point out globally temperatures have increased by over 1 degree since 1880; also, 9 out of the 10 hottest years occurred after 2000. By 2012, Arctic ice shrank to the lowest level. Internationally, sea levels are going up at 3.4 mm per year. It is just a matter of time before human habitation, particularly in the coastal areas, starts getting submerged.

When the Crusader Italian Columbus arrived in the American continent, he thought that he had arrived in the western coast of the country of India. The inhabitants were called the Indians because of their distinctive color reddish .. Although they have nothing to do with the Indians. "Why do you call us the name of the Indians?" Said one of the masochists of the Puritan missionary John Elliot in 1646. They lived here thousands of years ago and lived in a simple life where they depended on hunting and cultivating land. The Spanish priest, Ptolemy de Las Casas, born in 1484, describes the salty population in a writer who gave it to King Philip II: (They are simple and very good people ... patient, humble, very naive, obedient ... far from evil, deceit, and deceit ... They show great commitment to their traditions and obey the Spaniards ... do not fight or fight, On one ... they do not have feelings of revenge, hatred and hostility ... they are very poor, but they do not ...
