中国在戈壁沙漠推进大规模可再生能源项目，如太阳能、风能和沙电池，推动可持续能源发展。这些项目为长期稳定、能源安全和经济利益奠定了基础，不同于股市的短期刺激，这些投资不仅减少对石油进口的依赖，降低碳排放，还支持环境保护，并带来显著的经济回报。以下是这种战略重要的关键原因： 1. 能源安全：减少对石油进口的依赖 中国是全球最大的石油进口国，每年花费约1.5万亿美元用于石油进口。这种依赖国际能源市场的情况使中国暴露于价格波动和地缘政治风险中。仅2022年，中国在石油进口上的年支出就约为1.5万亿美元，给国家财政带来压力。在冲突或海上封锁时期，关键石油供应可能被轻易中断，威胁国家稳定。通过转向国内可再生能源，特别是在戈壁沙漠开发的太阳能和风能，中国可以显著减少这种依赖，确保稳定的能源供应。 此外，沙电池技术通过加热沙子存储多余的能量，进一步增强了能源安全。美国国家可再生能源实验室（NREL）的研究人员正在开发这一新的热能存储技术，使用廉价的二氧化硅沙子作为介质。被称为ENDURING项目的这一系统，将风能或太阳能的多余电力用于超高温加热二氧化硅沙子。加热后的沙子储存在绝缘筒仓中，需要时可用来驱动涡轮发电。单个沙电池可存储高达26,000兆瓦时（MWh）的热能，系统可根据不同需求进行扩展。 NREL的高级工程师马志文专注于长时热能存储、氢生产和太阳燃料过程的研究。他主导了基于颗粒的热存储系统的项目，并在能量存储的计算模型和实验研究方面做出了重要贡献。 ENDURING项目的研究人员马志文强调，使用二氧化硅沙子作为热存储介质是去碳化的重要一步。沙子具有高热保持和传导能力，是一种长时储能的优秀解决方案。沙电池系统不仅高度可靠、成本低、环保，还能减少对煤和天然气等化石燃料的依赖。 王兴超博士是国家可再生能源实验室（NREL）的一名研究人员，同时也是科罗拉多矿业学院的研究教员。他的研究专注于传热、热力学，以及传统和可再生能源系统。他在可再生能源的能量转换和存储方面有专长，尤其是在先进系统模型的开发上。 2. 成本效益：太阳能和风能与煤炭和石油相比 可再生能源成本逐渐低于传统化石燃料。在2022年，中国大规模太阳能发电的成本为每兆瓦时（MWh）20至30美元，而煤电成本为每MWh 60至70美元。在风力资源丰富的戈壁沙漠，风能成本也已低于石油发电。 目前，中国每年在煤炭和石油进口上的花费约为2000亿美元，加重了对化石燃料的依赖，并使经济暴露于更大风险之中。向可再生能源转型将有助于缓解这一经济负担，特别是在全球能源市场日益不稳定的情况下。 3. 宁夏的战略位置：可再生能源和人工智能的中心 靠近戈壁沙漠的宁夏有望成为可再生能源和人工智能的战略中心。这里靠近丰富的太阳能和风能资源，并具备优越的高铁连接，是管理和分配可再生能源的理想位置。该地区的工业基础也支持能源生产和AI驱动的能源管理系统。 宁夏-湖南特高压（UHV）输电线路的建设于2023年6月启动，该项目将可再生能源从中国西北的宁夏传输到中部的湖南省。这条长达1634公里的线路是中国国家计划的一部分，旨在利用沙漠地区的可再生资源实现清洁能源目标，通过将太阳能和风能从人烟稀少的地区输送到能源需求量大的城市中心，支持碳减排目标。项目完成后，预计每年可向湖南输送超过360亿千瓦时的电力 。 宁夏-湖南特高压（UHV）输电线路预计将在2024年底全面投入运营。这条长达1634公里的特高压直流项目旨在将太阳能资源丰富的宁夏地区（尤其是腾格里和戈壁沙漠的太阳能发电项目）连接到湖南等用电需求大的省份。项目完成后，预计将传输约8吉瓦的电力，主要来源为太阳能和风能，并辅以少量的煤电容量。该基础设施是中国扩大可再生能源使用并减少工业化地区对煤炭依赖的战略关键部分 。 中国是超高压直流（UHV DC）技术的世界领导者，该技术已成为其能源基础设施战略的核心。超高压直流技术能够以极低的能量损耗实现电力的远距离传输，非常适合将戈壁沙漠等偏远地区的可再生能源输送到需求旺盛的城市中心。 中国在2000年代初期开始投资超高压技术，到2018年时已部署了全球规模最大的超高压电网。国家电网公司（SGCC）和南方电网公司（CSG）作为两大国有企业，在实施这一技术方面发挥了核心作用。目前，中国运营着超过30个超高压项目，包括直流（DC）和交流（AC）系统，传输总容量超过150吉瓦。这一网络使中国能够将西部人口稀少地区的可再生资源高效地输送到东部的工业中心 。 其中最著名的超高压直流项目之一是2018年完工的昌吉至古泉输电线路。这条线路全长超过3000公里，将西北的新疆与东部的安徽连接起来，是世界上最长且最强大的超高压直流输电线路，输电能力高达12吉瓦。此类项目不仅支持中国的清洁能源转型、减少对煤炭的依赖，还为其他国家开发远距离输电系统提供了借鉴 。 4. 经济增长、就业创造和GDP影响 对戈壁沙漠可再生能源的投资将创造1000到1200万个工作岗位，特别是在建设、运营和维护领域。这些工作将为城市和农村地区提供高薪机会。 就业创造：在未来十年，5万亿美元的投资将产生约2000万个直接和间接工作岗位，涵盖建设、运营、维护和研究。这些工作包括可再生能源系统安装、沙电池技术、电动汽车制造，以及运输、基础设施和供应链等支持行业。 GDP增长：每年在可再生能源基础设施上的1万亿美元投资将显著提升中国的GDP。在五年内，这些投资预计将为GDP增加约5万亿美元，由可再生能源部门的产出推动。 5. 环境可持续性：减少碳排放和沙尘暴 在戈壁沙漠的大规模可再生能源开发将极大减少中国的碳排放，帮助实现2060年碳中和的目标。此外，风力发电机可作为屏障，减少北方地区沙尘暴的频率和强度，目前这些沙尘暴带来重大损失和健康成本。通过减少这些风暴，中国每年可节省数十亿美元的损失和医疗费用。 6. 电动汽车：推动清洁能源需求 随着电动汽车（EV）市场的增长，电力需求将上升。EV比汽油车更加环保且经济，因为它们依赖于清洁能源而非化石燃料。通过对可再生能源基础设施的规模化投资，中国可以满足这一增长的需求，减少对石油的依赖，进一步支持碳减排目标。 7. 沙电池：更安全、更可靠、更具成本效益的储能解决方案 沙电池通过热量存储能量，随后将其转化为电力或用于加热。一个典型的5000吨沙电池可存储约210万兆焦耳（MJ）的能量，非常适合在戈壁沙漠等沙资源丰富的地区进行长期存储。 与熔盐电池的比较： • 安全性：沙电池比传统的锂电池或熔盐电池更安全，因为沙子不易燃且化学稳定。锂电池过热时可能起火，而沙电池即使在高温下也能保持稳定，降低了风险。 • 可靠性：沙电池非常耐用，可以反复使用而不会退化，确保长期可靠性。相比之下，熔盐电池容易腐蚀，增加了维护成本。 • 成本效益：沙子是一种丰富且廉价的资源，使沙电池的建造和维护成本比锂离子或熔盐电池低很多，适合大规模储能。 8. 国家安全：电动汽车和应急系统 使用可再生能源驱动的电动军用车辆和应急系统将带来战略优势。在石油短缺或海上封锁时，电动汽车可以确保军事和应急行动的持续性，提升国家安全。 9. 空气制水系统：农业用的可再生能源 可再生能源还可以为大气水发生器（AWG）供电，利用风能或太阳能从空气中凝结水分。这种清洁水可用于戈壁沙漠等干旱地区的灌溉，将荒地转变为肥沃的农业用地，提升粮食安全。 10. 中国作为净能源出口国 通过充分利用戈壁沙漠的可再生能源潜力，中国可以从全球最大的石油进口国转变为净能源出口国。太阳能和风电场生产的多余能源可以出售给邻国，增加收入，并增强中国作为清洁能源领导者的地缘政治影响力。 11. 5万亿美元的能源生产投资 通过5万亿美元的投资，中国可以在未来十年新增约4000吉瓦（GW）的太阳能和风能发电能力。每年将生产约8万太瓦时（TWh）的清洁电力。按每MWh 60美元的全球电价计算，这将每年带来约4800亿美元的能源出口收入。加上减少化石燃料进口的节省，这一投资将进一步提升中国的经济地位。 12. 满足中国的全部能源需求 5万亿美元的投资将使中国满足100%的能源需求。目前，中国的总能源消耗约为6000太瓦时。通过增加8万TWh的可再生能源，中国将完全摆脱对化石燃料的依赖。这样将每年节省约1.5万亿美元的石油进口费用，而剩余的可再生能源还可以出口，带来额外收入。
