Reference News Website January 6 report, according to the Spanish website "Reason", for many years, various international organizations have advocated that all countries should address the energy transition. The energy transition is undoubtedly a formidable challenge, but its benefits are supported by data: it can not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the impact of their price fluctuations, but also limit greenhouse gas emissions.
In this regard, there is a country that has recently successfully focused on the necessity of a sustainable future, while continuously advancing projects aimed at leading in key technological fields such as artificial intelligence. That is China.
China has become the world's largest producer of solar power, surpassing the United States and India. The Tari Tapan photovoltaic park located in Hequ County, Qinghai Province, is one of the photovoltaic parks that helped China achieve its leading position. Its location in the extension area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau not only demonstrates its strong capacity for solar power generation, but also helps improve the biodiversity of the region where it is located.
A study published in the journal "Nature" and reprinted by the technology product review information website reveals a series of important data about vegetation and microbial life. The Tari Tapan photovoltaic park in Hequ County is mainly used for solar power generation, which is obvious, but now, it is no longer its only function.
In fact, the beneficial effects of the park on the Earth go beyond generating power through clean energy. The solar panels have a positive effect on the space they cover, because the solar panels reduce the solar radiation received by the ground. This way, the soil can retain more moisture, thus promoting the growth of microorganisms and vegetation.
The study shows that the photovoltaic park has higher biodiversity compared to the surrounding land. This clearly indicates that the presence of these organisms is directly related to the construction of the photovoltaic park.
Another factor identified by researchers is the maintenance of the facility itself. Solar panels exposed to outdoor environments for long periods require maintenance through cleaning. The water used for cleaning also promotes the improvement of soil fertility and biodiversity.
This undoubtedly adds greater value to the photovoltaic parks. The goal of building facilities that can provide large amounts of electricity has been achieved. At the same time, the biodiversity of the area where the photovoltaic parks are located has also improved, showing the additional advantages of such facilities, as well as their special importance to the world, even from a short-term perspective.
