Do you know how a "super mirror power plant" works in Northwest China's Gansu Province? The molten-salt #solarpower plant works by using 12,000 mirrors that focus the sunlight on a receiver at the top of a solar tower, which then heats the molten salt. It is designed to generate 390 million kWh of power annually, which can reduce #carbondioxide emissions by 350,000 metric tons per year. #ChinaInfrastructure #EcoChina | Xi's Moments
