Clean Energy makes Xiong’an a Clean City

The supply capacity of clean energy with diversified types and abundant resources is sufficient to meet the consumption of green energy in the New Area. Local geothermal energy is the main energy source of Xiong’an. Shallow geothermal energy is widely distributed in 0-200m underground. The average thermal conductivity of the soil is moderate, and the initial temperature of the soil is appropriate.

The geological conditions are suitable for installing geothermal heat pumps. Geothermal energy is becoming the typical resource of Xiong’an. Xiongxian county, where geothermal heating replaces coal-fired boilers, has become the first “smokeless city” in China.

Local solar energy and biomass energy will be reliable supplements to clean energy in Xiong’an. Solar energy resources are evenly distributed in the New Area, making Xiong’an a “resource-rich region”. The abundant wind power, photovoltaic and water resources in Zhangjiakou and other places serve as supply for Xiong’an.

Natural gas is in liberal supply, mainly transported from the southern, northern and eastern regions. Multiple gas inputs and gas storage reserves provide strong energy support for the long-term natural gas supply of Xiong’an with stable price. Modern technology contributes to the utilization of clean energy.

Xiong’an has formed a comprehensive system of energy storage, use, management, and recovery by using modern technology.

This city comprehensively uses new-generation information technologies such as 5G communication and energy management system to build a modern energy mechanism and promotes energy transformation.

Xiong’an has achieved the overall control of resources and intelligent scheduling of energy management with the help of the energy Internet which has realized the effective synergy of natural resources such as solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy.

Xiong’an is committed to seeking the coordinated development of renewable energy and utilization of diversified zero carbon energy.

For energy users, like communities, buildings, industrial enterprises and parks, this city carries out comprehensive energy measures, focusing on distributed energy sources, such as roof photovoltaic, distributed wind power, combined cooling, heating and power, heat pumps, and utilization of industrial waste heat.

At present, Xiong’an is building a three-level comprehensive energy station for all users in the area. Advocating green life for residents is another way to increase the use of clean energy instead of fossil energy.

With the continuous improvement of the grass-roots governance capacity of modern communities, the development and management efficiency of clean energy has been further improved and a unique energy management scheme has been formed.

Through facilitating modern technology and making scientific use of clean energy, the new area has successfully created a “Xiong’an model” that can be replicated in China and the world.
