At 22:40 on November 20, Beijing time, the opening ceremony of the 2022 Qatar World Cup was held at the Gulf Stadium. From the game field, transportation, to the water supply and power supply behind, you can see the figure of "Made in China". One month before the opening of the World Cup, the 800 MW photovoltaic power station in Qatar, which was EPC contracted by China Power Construction Group Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "PowerChina"), was officially put into operation.

    This power station is also one of the important ways to achieve low carbon and environmental protection in Qatar World Cup. Qatar has promised that this World Cup will strive to become the first "carbon neutral" World Cup.

    The project, with a total investment of 417 million US dollars, is located in the desert 80 kilometers west of Doha, the capital of Qatar. The park covers an area of 10 square kilometers and has installed more than 2 million solar panels. There are unique light and heat resources here.

    According to PowerChina, the power station is the first non-fossil fuel power station in Qatar, one of the largest photovoltaic power stations in the Middle East, and the third largest single photovoltaic power generation project in the world at present. The power station is also the largest photovoltaic project in the world using tracking systems and double-sided modules.

    In July 2020, the power station will be started. After being put into operation, it is expected to provide about 1.8 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity to Qatar every year, meet the annual electricity consumption of about 300000 households, which is about 10% of the peak power demand of Qatar. The project will significantly increase the proportion of renewable energy in Qatar's energy consumption, and is expected to reduce about 900000 tons of carbon dioxide annually.

    The global concept of "carbon neutrality" is no longer just a slogan stage. China's policies are also vigorously advocating clean energy and striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. What are the greenhouse gases related to the concept of carbon neutrality, and what sensors will be used.

    Greenhouse gases refer to some gases in the atmosphere that can absorb the long-wave radiation reflected by the ground and re-issue the radiation, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (NO), freon, methane (CH4) and most refrigerants. Most of the gas components can be monitored by optical gas sensors. Through the extensive installation of greenhouse gas monitoring equipment, the greenhouse gas emissions can reach the role of data reference and support policy implementation.
