UNFCCC-Registered | Global Renewable Energy Milestone
The Wulanyiligeng Wind Farm Project in Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia, is a landmark initiative in renewable energy. At the time of its registration, it was the world’s largest emission-reduction project approved under the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) framework.
This large-scale wind energy project features 200 turbines, each with a capacity of 1.5MW (Goldwind 1500 model), delivering a total installed capacity of 300MW. The wind farm generates approximately 848,000 MWh of clean electricity per year, directly feeding into the North China Power Grid, which is traditionally powered by coal.
By displacing fossil fuel-based electricity, the project achieves an annual reduction of 894,569 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, making a significant contribution to climate change mitigation.
Why It Matters
- Climate Action: Supports global emission reduction targets through clean, zero-emission power generation.
- Sustainable Development:
- Economic: Enhances local energy supply and stimulates growth of China’s wind energy sector.
- Environmental: Reduces air pollutants (SO₂, NOₓ, and TSP) from thermal power.
- Social: Creates 40 permanent jobs, contributing to the local economy and livelihoods.
This project reflects our early leadership in carbon reduction under the UNFCCC and demonstrates our commitment to high-impact, standards-based climate solutions.
