作为中国重要的能源生产基地，大庆油田积极探索绿色转型新模式，在传统能源基础上推进光伏、风电等新能源项目建设，2024年新能源自消纳发电量超7亿千瓦时，是历年累计发电量的1.4倍。 The new energy power generation for self-consumption at Daqing Oilfield, one of China's largest oil production bases, surpassed 700 million kilowatt-hours in 2024, 1.4 times the cumulative power generation achieved in previous years, according to China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), one of China's largest oil and gas producers and suppliers.
As a key energy production base in China, Daqing Oilfield is actively exploring innovative models for green transformation and advancing the development of new energy projects, including photovoltaic and wind power alongside traditional energy sources.
At the low carbon demonstration zone of Lamadian Oilfield in Daqing, all eight power stations of the first phase have been connected to the grid, generating over 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Currently, 95 percent of the infrastructure for the second phase of the photovoltaic project has been completed, and it is expected to be fully connected to the grid for power generation in early 2025.
"Currently, there are 19 wind and photovoltaic power generation projects under construction at Daqing Oilfield, with installed capacity expanding sixfold compared to the same period last year (2023). Among these, construction of the centralized wind and photovoltaic power generation projects in Heilongjiang Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region now are in full swing. The first hydrothermal geothermal heating project in Heilongjiang has officially begun drilling in Fangzheng County, marking a significant step in business-local government cooperation to develop and utilize geothermal resources," said Pang Zhiqing, manager of the New Energy Division at Daqing Oilfield, CNPC.
Daqing Oilfield's new energy power generation exceeds 700 million KWh in 2024
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, together with Sihasak Phuangketkeow, Thailand's deputy prime minister and foreign minister, held the third meeting of the Consultation Mechanism between the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of China and Thailand on Friday in Bangkok.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, noted that this year marks the beginning of China's 15th Five-Year Plan and also the start of the new Thai government's governance.
Facing a volatile international situation, Wang said, China is willing to work with Thailand to give full play to the coordinating role of the foreign ministers' consultation mechanism guided by the strategic consensus reached by the two heads of state.
Both sides should join hands to advance their respective modernization processes, jointly practice genuine multilateralism, create a new golden 50 years for China-Thailand friendship, and make new contributions to promoting the solidarity and development of the Global South as well as regional peace and stability, he said.
Noting that China has always placed Thailand in an important position in its neighborhood diplomacy, Wang said China is ready to continue to be a reliable strategic partner of Thailand, support the new Thai government in leading its people to follow a development path that suits its national conditions, and promote the building of a more stable, prosperous and sustainable China-Thailand community with a shared future.
It is believed that Thailand will continue to resolutely support China's great cause of peaceful reunification, he added.
Wang also called on the two sides to maintain high-level exchanges, enhance political mutual trust, strengthen the alignment of development strategies and initiate the formulation of the new five-year action plan.
He said that both sides should intensify efforts to crack down on transnational crimes, completely eradicate gambling and fraud, strengthen multilateral collaboration and jointly implement the four major global initiatives.
China has always advocated resolving differences between countries through dialogue rather than force, Wang said, extending the hopes that Thailand and Cambodia will consolidate the ceasefire situation, resume bilateral contacts, resolve border disputes as soon as possible and maintain a peaceful and stable environment.
As a common friend of Thailand and Cambodia, China is willing to continue to build a platform for the two sides to rebuild mutual trust and improve relations, he said.
For his part, Sihasak said that Thailand will, as always, attach great importance to its relations with China, firmly pursue the one-China policy, and consolidate the political foundation of bilateral relations.
Thailand is willing to enhance high-level exchanges with China, deepen all-round cooperation in various fields such as connectivity, economy and trade, and combating online gambling and telecommunications fraud, and promote the continuous development of the Thailand-China community with a shared future.
He said that Thailand highly appreciates the four major global initiatives and is willing to strengthen multilateral coordination with China.
Sihasak expressed the appreciation for China's efforts in actively promoting peace talks and mediating the border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia, adding that he looks forward to China continuing to play a constructive role.
The two foreign ministers also exchanged views on the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) and East Asia cooperation, and agreed to enhance coordination and cooperation to actively build an LMC 2.0, promoting the building of a Lancang-Mekong community with a shared future to a new level.
