CNNC climate action case unveiled at COP27 CNNC, PUBLISHED 27.11.2022 The first nuclear energy heating project in South China, the Zhejiang Haiyan Nuclear Energy Heating Demonstration Project, was included in the 2022 Business Climate Action Cases, which was recently released at the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), which was held in the Egyptian coastal city of Sharm el-Sheikh from Nov 6 to 18. Implemented by the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant of China National Nuclear Power (CNNP) under the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), it demonstrates CNNP's pioneering action and high sense of responsibility in addressing climate change as a representative of clean energy companies. The first phase of the nuclear heating demonstration project was put into operation on Dec 3, 2021, providing winter heating services to about 460,000 square meters of residential property and benefiting nearly 4,000 households in Haiyan county of East China's Zhejiang province.
