By preparing its competition venues in the proper manner Hangzhou has launched a Green Asian Games, improved the city's air quality and attained sustainable development as China rolls out the road map for peaking carbon emissions by 2030.

A special team, consisting of "zero-carbon" engineers, has been established to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions and provide services for venues such as green power supply, energy-saving renovation, and smart energy.

These engineers are from State Grid Hangzhou Power Supply Company and they are expected to provide 13 professional services during the Games, including the construction of zero-carbon transportation and the trade of green electricity for the venues.

The power will come from clean energy transferred by the ultra-high voltage grid for the Hangzhou Asian Games venues and Asian Games Village from hydropower in the Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan province and wind power and photovoltaics in the Northwest China's Ningxia Hui and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions.

In addition to the primary host city Hangzhou, which will stage the largest number of events during the Games, five co-host cities, namely Ningbo, Shaoxing, Huzhou, Jinhua and Wenzhou, have also stepped up their green energy capabilities.
