Energy Workers Share Innovation Stories on Safety and Green Transition in China
At a State Council Information Office press conference in Beijing on September 23, five Chinese energy sector representatives shared their innovation stories under the theme 'Promoting Energy Green Transition and Supply Security.' Wang Yueyue, a State Grid technician, introduced a 'double-C clamp installation tool' that allows workers to install line clamps on 10,000-volt live lines from a safe distance, improving both safety and efficiency. Zhang Deping from PetroChina's Jilin Oilfield described developing carbon dioxide flooding and storage technology from scratch, filling domestic technical gaps. Zheng Sanguo of China Huadian reported that vegetation coverage at the Tengger Desert solar-wind base rose from under 5% to over 70% through an 'ecology-production-livelihood' model, creating 800 jobs. Liu Xin from Huaneng Group presented the 'Yellow Sea No.1' floating solar platform, capable of withstanding 10-meter waves. Zhao Yunfei of China Energy's Shendong Coal noted that 133 types of robots have been deployed in his mine, reducing labor intensity and attracting more highly educated talent.
