Combined approach can be used to tackle climate change By HOU LIQIANG | China Daily Global | Updated: 2020-12-29 09:02 Share The Yangjiang Nanpeng Island offshore wind farm. [Photo/China General Nuclear Power Corp]
China s efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions can work in concert with its campaigns to control air pollution as a great proportion of the main greenhouse gas and air pollutants come from the same sources, according to experts and observers.
This synergy could play a major role in achieving climate targets, they said, adding that China needs to explore viable market mechanisms that incorporate the costs of carbon emissions into companies operations because many lack motivation to improve their efforts on climate action.

This month I had the pleasure of joining the Renewable Energy International Finance and Cutting-Edge Technology Forum in Hefei, East China s Anhui province. There was much to discuss and consider, with this a timely subject with much commonality between China and the UAE.
China is a global leader in renewable energy, and when I fly into Beijing from the UAE, over the Himalayas, I can see wind turbines as on terrain over Central China and towards the capital city.
And dotted along the coast up from the South China Sea, to the East China Sea onwards to the Yellow sea are a series of gleaming wind farms, empowering China s green revolution of sustainable energy.
CGN starts wind farm with hybrid turbines By ZHENG XIN | China Daily | Updated: 2020-12-25 09:51 Share The Yangjiang Nanpeng Island offshore wind farm. [Photo/China General Nuclear Power Corp]
The 401.5 megawatt Yangjiang Nanpeng Island offshore wind farm, featuring hybrid-drive wind turbines supplied by Mingyang Smart Energy, was fully commissioned on Dec 16, said its operator China General Nuclear Power Corp, one of the country s largest nuclear power companies.
The project saw its first turbine installed at the site off Guangdong province in July last year, and its first batch of wind turbines commenced operations in October. It is expected to generate more than 1 billion kilowatts each year, saving more than 310,000 metric tons of standard coal and reducing 830,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, CGN said.
