China's first zero-carbon desert highway, traversing the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, now harnesses solar power for green operation. This highway, lined with rows of shrubs and bushes, is protected from encroaching sand by an irrigation system that pumps groundwater to sustain the vegetation. A new pilot program utilizes solar power to run this irrigation system, ensuring the entire operation is clean and sustainable.
