Satellites Showed What China Has Turned the Desert Into.

Solar panels being installed in the Kubuqi Desert, China

The Kubuqi Desert, once known as the 'sea of death,' is now transformed into a sea of possibilities for photovoltaic energy production thanks to the installation of solar panels. This information was reported by NASA.

According to China's plan, the Kubuqi Desert will become part of a 'great solar wall' stretching 400 kilometers, which will supply energy to Beijing. The project is scheduled for completion by 2030, with a maximum capacity of 100 gigawatts.

The Kubuqi Desert was chosen for the installation of solar panels due to its natural conditions, such as sunny weather and flat terrain. Panels are being installed on the dunes south of the Yellow River, between the cities of Baotou and Bayan Nur. In recent years, the area of solar farms in this region has significantly increased.

China is the world's leader in solar energy production. The country operates 386,875 megawatts of solar power plants, accounting for over 50% of the total global figure. In this ranking, the USA and India occupy the second and third places, respectively.

Furthermore, China plans to build another ambitious structure - a wall that will be entirely made of wood. This wall will prevent the expansion of the Taklamakan Desert, the largest desert in the country.
