China's Qinling Antarctic Station Gets Over Half Its Power From Renewables

China's Qinling Station in Antarctica draws more than 50% of its electricity from 26 solar modules, 10 wind turbines, hydrogen storage and lithium-ion batteries, replacing 220 tons of diesel per year. China aims to run all five of its Antarctic stations on 100% renewables by 2035.

• 26 solar modules and 10 wind turbines supply over 50% of the station's power
• The system replaces 220 tons of diesel shipped over 6,200 miles annually
• A hydrogen system can power the station for two days without sun or wind
• China plans 100% renewable power at all five Antarctic stations by 2035
