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.
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.
The 2.2 gigawatt facility spans an area of over 25 square kilometers in the Gobi desert. This $3 billion flagship project demonstrates the epic scale of renewable infrastructure developing worldwide. Traveling to the Tengger Desert Solar Park in northwestern China, rows upon rows of solar panels extend endlessly under the barren sky.
Understanding the potential and spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of solar power generation is crucial for decarbonization and renewable energy policy formulation in the power sector, and deserts, Gobi, and desert regions have significant advantages in solar resource development, demonstrating enormous CMP .
Despite these limitations, our results indicate the favorable climate effects in the northwestern Gobi Deserts are still suitable and referenced under the scenario projected by GEIDCO (2021) based on two aspects.
Due to sufficient lighting conditions and widely available land resources, an increasing number of photovoltaic (PV) power stations are being built in desert areas to meet the growing demand for sustainable energy. Deserts are becoming ideal places for building PV power stations [5, 6].
