"Zero Carbon World Cup" - "Chinese elements" are spotted all over the place at QatarWorldCup2022

On November 20, 2022, the much-anticipated Qatar World Cup kicked off in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Qatar, one of the richest countries in the world, has invested around $220 billion in infrastructure for this World Cup, making it the most expensive World Cup ever. It is worth noting that with the continuous acceleration of the global carbon reduction process, the host country Qatar pledged in January 2020: to make the 2022 event the first "carbon neutral" World Cup. In September of that year, the organizing committee set out a detailed road map to tackle the challenge and hoped to make the World Cup carbon-neutral through steps such as raising awareness, measuring emissions, reducing emissions, and offsetting emissions.
How can this goal be achieved? Thanks to the properties of green electricity and Qatar's rich sunlight resources, photovoltaic power generation has become one of its preferred energy sources.
800 megawatts solar power plant in al-Kharsaah, Qatar
Thus, the al-Kharsaah 800MW solar photovoltaic power station in Qatar, built by a Chinese company, came into being! The plant is Qatar's first solar power plant, its first non-fossil fuel power plant and by far the third largest single photovoltaic plant in the world. There is no doubt that the commissioning of this power station is a milestone in the development of Qatar's new energy industry and will contribute significantly to the carbon neutral goal of the World Cup.
Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) said the carbon savings from the new 800MW solar power plant would be used to offset around half of the emissions generated by the country's hosting of the FIFA World Cup. All PV modules, inverters, and mounting brackets, etc. are made in China.
Zhou Jian, Chinese Ambassador to Qatar, said that the products made in China at the World Cup are like stars in the sky, which is not only a symbol of China's development, but also shows that the products made in China and Chinese construction are more and more recognized and loved by people all over the world.
