                  In Jiuquan, China, on March 18, 2024, an aerial photo shows the Jinta Zhongguang Solar 100,000kw solar thermal + 600,000kW photovoltaic project that is currently under construction. This project boasts the world's tallest tower and the largest concentrated area of a molten salt tower solar thermal power station. Currently, the heat absorption tower's height has reached 245 meters, 25,594 heliostats have been installed, and the steam turbine cover has been completed. Once finished, the project is expected to generate 1.37 billion KWH annually, saving approximately 480,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.31 million tons each year.
