At 19:00 on November 20, local time, the Alfate Stadium in Qatar Hall officially launched the opening battle of Qatar and Ecuador, marking the beginning of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
The host Qatar thrown $ 229 billion for the World Cup, known as the highest -spent World Cup in history. This amount is close to 20 times that of the last 2018 World Cup Russia's World Cup, more than 44.3 billion U.S. World Cup in the United States World Cup from 1994 to the 2018 Russia World Cup.
Qatar has abundant natural gas and oil resources, and its natural gas reserves are 25.2 trillion cubic meters, ranking third in the world. Since the influence of the global energy crisis this year, Qatar, as the world's largest liquefied natural gas production country and the second largest liquefied natural gas exporter, the national wealth is expected to soar further. According to foreign media, Qatar's per capita GDP will exceed $ 100,000 this year, becoming the fourth richest country in the world and the richest country in the Middle East.
As a resource -oriented country with more than half of the national GDP and rich oil, Qatar promises to host a "carbon neutral" World Cup, that is, the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the World Cup event. After absorption and offset, the net discharge of carbon dioxide is zero.
In fact, the Qatar World Cup Organizing Committee and FIFA have always set the core of sustainable development at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. I hope this World Cup will contribute to the UN sustainable development goals and Qatar's national vision in 2030.
In order to realize the promise of the "Carbon neutralization" World Cup, Qatar uses green and low -carbon elements in various fields such as stadiums, transportation, energy.
In terms of stadium, the Lussel Stadium of this World Cup closing ceremony, finals and the main venues of the competition uses a number of environmentally friendly energy -saving technologies and uses a lot of recyclable materials. Compared with the traditional stadium construction project, the construction of the Lussel Stadium saves 40%of fresh water. The roof mask structure composed of polyfluoroethylene materials in the stadium is exempted from the wind and sand invasion of the stadium. Enough light.
In terms of transportation, this time Qatar's "carbon neutralization" World Cup introduced new energy buses for the first time. Before the new energy buses entered Qatar, Qatar basically had no electric vehicles and was in the monopoly of fuel vehicles.
On October 18, the 800MW photovoltaic power station of Qatar Alcasa was officially put into production. The industry believes that this is a key photovoltaic power plant project that helps Qatar realizes the "carbon neutral" World Cup.
The project is responsible for the EPC general contracting by China Electric Power Construction, and all components and sunlight power supply inverters (1500V group SG250HX) are supplied by Longji Green Energy.
Public information shows that the total investment of the Alkasa photovoltaic project is $ 417 million. The power station project is the first large -scale ground photovoltaic power plant in Qatar in the history of Qatar. It is the third largest photovoltaic power plant in the world so far, and the world's largest photovoltaic project with tracking systems and double -sided components.
In terms of power generation, the power station project is expected to provide about 1.8 billion kilowatt -hours of clean power for Qatar each year, meet the annual electricity consumption of about 300,000 households, and reduce the carbon dioxide by about 900,000 tons per year. The successful production of the project also provided clean power for the 2022 Qatar World Cup venue.
It is reported that the photovoltaic electricity cost of the Alkasa project is basically below 2 cents/W. Qatar uses natural gas power generation. If the cost of electricity is calculated based on the current current cargo price (4114 yuan/ton), the cost of electricity About 12 cents, that is, the cost of photovoltaic power generation is much higher than its traditional power generation cost.
