"Ordos is very beautiful, the environment is very good, and the greening of the city is very well planned! I like it here very much, and I want to play here with my family in the future." This is Celia from Guatemala's first impression of Ordos.
Thai Internet celebrity blogger Ai Ling also did not hesitate to praise the city of Ordos. She said, "Ordos is very developed and green everywhere, which is completely different from the imagined city of Inner Mongolia."
In the eyes of two foreign friends who came to Ordos for the first time, Ordos is green, showing a refreshing and pleasant green.
"All-age-friendly" green space to create "Park City"
In Ordos today, "greenness" is not a "rare product", but a "public product" that citizens can look up to.
On the streets of the city, the sky is blue, the ground is green, and the flowers are blooming.
Talking about urban green space, Wang Yonggang, director of Kangbashi Landscaping Service Center, is very proud. He said: "The vegetation coverage rate of Ordos is stable at over 70%, the green space rate in urban built-up areas is 41.3%, and the air quality rate is over 90%. The average temperature in summer is 21°C, making it a veritable 'natural oxygen bar' and a summer resort."
The urban green space in Ordos is well maintained.
Wang Yonggang said in the interview: "The green space is open to the public free of charge, and it is only closed on Mondays and Tuesdays for lawn maintenance." Through high-standard ecological greenways connecting urban parks, greenways serve as "urban green veins". It not only forms ecological corridors in various areas of the "Park City", but also constructs a new image of a modern city with unique aesthetic value.
Combining the different properties of green space, Ordos jumps out of a single greening function, integrates the needs of citizens such as children's play, fitness activities, and family travel, and develops the composite function of urban green space.
The continuous improvement of the scale and quality of green space has also set off a hot trend of "city tourism" such as camping.
Wang Yonggang mentioned: "In the next step, our functional services will strive to be friendly to all the people and all ages, so as to provide a more convenient green life for all citizens and tourists." Erdos, while continuously practicing the concept of people's livelihood priority, is further Tap into the potential of a green economy.
Desert town lights up circular economy
Under the call of the country's western development, Ordos Group established Ordos Electric Metallurgy Group in the border town of Qipanjing, adhering to the concept of high-quality and sustainable development, and formulating the principle of "controlling carbon from the source through clean energy utilization, and producing low-carbon energy through production." The green and low-carbon development strategy of reducing carbon in the process of carbonization and seeking carbon value-added by refining the product structure will light up the circular economy in the desert.
Diemetallurgical Group has always been committed to building a world-class high-tech clean recycling industrial park, and continuously enhances scientific research and innovation to guide industrial upgrading: based on its own microgrid planning and construction of an integrated "clean coal power" system, the step-by-step implementation of 1.5 GW photovoltaic power generation projects is equivalent to Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.5 million tons per year; the polysilicon industry will reduce CO2 emissions by about 128,000 tons per year through the application of the cold hydrogenation process, and plans to further upgrade the product structure; build a silicon-based alloy intelligent technology upgrade and innovation factory, and after completion, "comprehensive energy" Both "consumption" and "carbon dioxide emissions" have been reduced by more than 15%, and the per capita energy efficiency of the "smelting unit" has been increased by 50%.
Through reform and innovation, lean management and operation, the business performance of the Metallurgical Group has repeatedly hit a record high with a compound growth rate of 15%, directly solving the employment of more than 20,000 people, indirectly driving the employment of tens of thousands of people in the Qipanjing area, and making outstanding contributions to local economic development. contribute.
The barren town in the past has turned into a beautiful new industrial city deep in the Gobi Desert, a world-class high-tech clean recycling industry base that is technologically innovative, green, safe, low-carbon, environmentally friendly, happy and harmonious.
Zero carbon industrial park turns "green" into "gold"
The era of new energy is the era of Inner Mongolia.
The opportunity for the development of the new energy industry is the opportunity for the transformation and development of the western development, and even the opportunity for the transformation of the global industry.
Ordos has also started a period of transformation and development of "establishing first and then breaking" - establishing a new energy industry and breaking the traditional coal chemical industry.
Ordos has unique advantages in new energy application scenarios.
Tian Dongcheng, general manager of the Ordos Base of Envision Power, said in an interview: "Ordos' coal reserves account for 1/6 of the country's total, with about 600 million tons of coal every year, which requires a large number of trucks to transport, resulting in a huge demand for new energy batteries. Therefore, the demand for the new energy industry can be digested locally, forming a very good closed loop.”
Relying on Ordos' abundant wind resources and light resources, as well as good new energy application scenarios, the world's leading green technology enterprise - Envision Technology Group has pioneered the innovation system of zero-carbon industrial park in Ordos, integrating new power system, international standards-based innovation system. A zero-carbon digital operating system and a green new industrial cluster are integrated.
According to the statistics of the park, it is expected that by 2025, it will help the local realize about 300 billion yuan of green new industrial output value, create about 100,000 green high-tech jobs, and achieve the annual emission reduction target of about 100 million tons of carbon dioxide.
At present, the park has promoted the research and development of a number of cutting-edge and practical new energy products.
For example, the charging robot that provides mobile charging services in old communities where it is inconvenient to install charging piles has been piloted in Shanghai; the heavy truck replacement project can complete the replacement of new energy batteries for heavy trucks in just 7-8 minutes. Process, compared with fuel heavy trucks, in the case of renting batteries, each heavy truck driver can save about 100,000 yuan per year, which is convenient and economical.
The new energy industry in Ordos is also taking the step of "going out".
The Vision Zero-Carbon Industrial Park will become a new engine for Ordos' economic development and a model for the global green industrial revolution.
Recently, Envision has announced that it will build the second zero-carbon industrial park in the world and the first in Europe in Spain.
