An oil refinery factory in China is being transformed into a green cultural park that aims to showcase a fossil-free future. The project, located in the city of Shenzhen, is being led by the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
The park will feature a variety of green spaces, including a solar energy park, a wind turbine park, and an ecological wetland park. It will also include a museum that will showcase the history of the oil refinery and the transition to green energy.
The transformation of the factory is part of China's push to reduce its carbon emissions and transition to renewable energy sources. The country is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, but has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2060.
The project has received widespread support from environmental groups and local residents. Many see the transformation of the factory as a symbol of China's commitment to fighting climate change and transitioning to a green economy.
The park is also expected to provide economic benefits to the local community by creating new jobs and attracting tourists. The project has already received interest from international organizations and is expected to become a model for other cities around the world.
