Inner Mongolia Deserts Photovoltaic Projects - China

An aerial drone photo taken on June 5, 2025 shows a photovoltaic project in Ulan Buh Desert, in Dengkou County of Bayannur, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In recent years, Inner Mongolia has made all-out efforts to tackle the ecological challenges in the areas along the Yellow River, and has treated land covering a total of 14.89 million mu (about 992,667 hectares). In deserts of Kubuqi and Ulan Buh, the sand control model with photovoltaic projects has been widely implemented, transforming stretches of sandy terrain into vast "blue seas" brimming with green energy.

SOUNDBITE (Chinese): HE WENQIANG, Staff of sand prevention and control bureau of Dengkou County, Inner Mongolia 3. various of the desert STORYLINE: In the heart of Ulan Buh Desert, China's eighth largest desert in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, straw checkerboards are playing a key role in sand control work. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): HE WENQIANG, Staff of sand prevention and control bureau of Dengkou County, Inner Mongolia "We usually use straws of 30 to 40 centimeters to pave a square of 1 meter by 1 meter. These straw checkerboards have three advantages. The first is to reduce wind speed; the second is that it enables us to plant sacsaouls in it and provide them with fertilizers; the third is it can hold water so that the sacsaouls can have enough water to grow." Ulan Buh Desert covers an area of a
