China to generate electricity around the clock
Supplying the fuel to these biomass power plants will be a shrub called the sand willow.
Found in the nearby area, this small plant is usually grown to avoid the rapid depletion of plant life.
According to Nathaniel Bullard, Bloomberg New Energy Finance, the use of the sand willow is ‘… an economical use of a resource that’s already in place.’
Penglai Electric will manage the construction of these power plants throughout the next decade, while the China Shaanxi Yulin Huayang New Energy Company will own and operate the first projects to be built in the 66-square-mile Yulin Energy Park in northern China.
