Can solar energy improve ecological conditions in Gobi deserts?

PV-induced climate effects could contribute to improving ecological conditions in Gobi Deserts. In this study, a promising photovoltaic (PV) deployment scenario is firstly designed to represent China’s solar energy development in the context of its dual carbon target.

Will Xi Jinping bring China's wind & solar capacity to 1200 GW?

President Xi Jinping has pledged to bring China's total wind and solar capacity to at least 1,200 GW and to cap its carbon emission to a peak by 2030.

Could PV plants improve climate conditions in China's Gobi deserts?

PV plants in China’s northwestern Gobi Deserts would favor lower evaporation and wind. Local climate effects of PV plants are equivalent to or even greater than projected climate variability. PV-induced climate effects could contribute to improving ecological conditions in Gobi Deserts.
