摘要

Having set ambitious climate-change goals at the Paris conference,China is powering up clean energy sources to fuel the economy. In the small town of Niuzhuangl,Shandong Province,electricity and biogas generated by Lyu Ligang's straw digesting plant are heating the local community this winter.Unlike megalithic thermal power plants,Lyu's small operation will not add to the Shandong smog.There is almost zero pollution in the process.Chopped straw is burned to produce steam that drives electrical turbines.Alternatively,straw is loaded into an anaerobic digester that produces methane which can bc used directly for heating purposes.Operating at full capacity,the plant can generate 7 GWh of electricity each year-enough power tor more than 5,000 average Chinese households-plus 3 million cubic meters of methane.All this is done by merely disposing of agricultural waste cleanly.The plant produces 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide less that a coal-fueled plant.Fossil fubels lead to heavy pollution and the resources are shrinking.Clean energy is the long-term option.
