On June 2, the Tarim Oilfield Branch of PetroChina announced that Tarim Oilfield had officially built 98 photovoltaic power stations in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert, realizing green irrigation on desert roads and completely saying goodbye to the history of diesel engine power generation irrigating vegetation on both sides of desert roads.
Solar Irrigation System in Taklimakan Desert
Tarim Oilfield said that since January this year, Tarim Oilfield has further transformed the water wells that used to serve irrigation on the Taklimakan Desert Highway, and replaced the remaining 86 diesel-powered water source wells with solar power generation (in 2010, Tarim Oilfield built 12 pilot wells of solar irrigation demonstration station), after several months of hard work by workers, 86 diesel generator water source wells were converted into photovoltaic power generation. So far, more than 100 diesel generator water source wells on the desert road in Tarim Oilfield have achieved solar power generation.
It is understood that the Taklimakan Desert Highway was built in 1995, with a total length of 566 kilometers. It is the longest graded highway running through the mobile desert in the world. In 2006, Tarim Oilfield built a 436-kilometer-long ecological shelterbelt project along the highway in order to resist sandstorms. The 109 wells were built for watering day and night, and the vegetation was deeply rooted in the desert. The ecological transformation of “advancing into the sand and retreating”.
According to estimates, more than 400 kilometers of nearly 50,000 mu of ecological forests can absorb about 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year, and the negative carbon part can neutralize the carbon emissions of passing vehicles. Photovoltaic power stations reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 3,410 tons per year compared with diesel power generation.
