Mine scars healed with green technology
Daye city in Hubei province, China, is transforming its mining scars into green energy assets, with a former mining pit turned into a hydrogen factory. The city aims to reduce carbon intensity and become a hub for the green hydrogen economy.
Daye city in Central China's Hubei province is pivoting from a 'mining capital' to a hub for green energy. The city's transformation aligns with China's 15th Five-Year Plan, targeting a 17 percent reduction in carbon intensity by 2030. A former mining pit near Songwan village has been converted into a state-of-the-art hydrogen factory, significantly improving the local environment. The air is now cleaner, and once-barren hills are blanketed with green trees. Daye's efforts aim to turn the scars of years of mining into high-tech assets for China's green hydrogen economy, providing ecological, economic, and social benefits. The city's transformation is a key step in China's commitment to safeguarding the natural world.
