According to The News and Newspaper Digest of Voice of China, the Zero-carbon Hall at Shanghai World Expo 2010 will use leftovers from meals to generate electricity as part of its energy-saving initiatives.<\/p>\n
As a zero-carbon building in China, the Zero-carbon Hall will not only utilize solar power and wind power to meet its power requirements, but will also use the nearby Huangpu River as a heat sink for geothermal heat-pump cooling.<\/p>\n
Chen Shuo, the coordinator of the Zero-carbon Hall, says that the hall will serve as a platform for displaying energy conservation and emission reduction stories during the World Expo and it will enable visitors to know how much carbon dioxide is emitted in their daily lives.<\/p>\n
It is learned that the Zero-carbon Hall, which consists of two four-story buildings, will feature a zero-carbon reporting hall, a zero-carbon restaurant, a zero-carbon exhibition hall, and six zero-carbon sample suites. It shows visitors how each of these sectors is working to deal with global climate change.<\/p>\n
According to Chen, the Hall will be kept as the first zero-carbon museum in China after the Shanghai World Expo 2010 ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
