ZenithSolar Ltd., provider of the world’s most efficient combined heat and power
solar system, announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (
MOU) with the Energy Bureau of Gansu Provincial Development and Reform Commission
of the People’s Republic of China for cooperation in the development of combined
heat and power (CHP) solar stations in the Gansu province.

The MOU was signed at a ceremony in the provincial capital Lanzhou. Under the agreement,
ZenithSolar will provide the technology for the installation of two 10 megawatt (
MW) [cogeneration plants](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/04/porsche-takes-next-step-toward-co2-neutral-in-zuffenhausen/)
based on ZenithSolar’s Z20 CHP system.

The Gansu province of China has a population of near 30 million and is located in
northwestern China approximately 1,200 kilometers from Beijing.  The Gansu Province
lies at the edge of the Gobi desert and has the best solar energy conditions in 
China and among the best anywhere in the world. The agreement is focused on two 
planned facilities which are to be located in the cities of Jiayuguan and Jinchang
and to commence their installation during 2011. One of the installations will be
used to provide electricity and process heat for an industrial plant and the other
for a large neighborhood.

Under the terms of the MOU, the Energy Bureau of Gansu will recommend the use of
ZenithSolar’s CHP system for other locations in the Gansu Province after the successful
operation of the two pilot plants. The Energy Bureau also announced that in concert
with the introduction of the CHP technology a scientific research center will be
established to provide training for government institutions, enterprises and individuals
to focus on the development of new [solar energy technology](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/06/creating-power-from-municipal-solid-waste-best-use-of-waste/).

Here are some really great **ZenithSolar Fast Facts: **

 1. Combined heat and power generation with 72% efficiency
 2. Solar is zero emissions environment
 3. One field (of 220 Z20s) at sunny climates can generate 2,000MWh of electricity 
    and 4,000MWh of thermal energy per year.
 4. This energy replaces 1,900 tons of fossil fuel per year, which prevents the pollution
    of 3,200 tons of C02 pollution per year
 5. This energy is also the same pollution of 1,200 vehicles per year
