    On October 16, Chen Yuhou, Secretary of the Prefectural Party Committee, and his delegation conducted a field inspection in the Yanuo Villagers’ Group of the Xinsi Tu Village Committee, Jinuo Ethnic Township, Jinghong City. Xishuangbanna Petrochemical Group Status of clean energy promotion in rural areas. He emphasized the need to vigorously promote clean energy throughout the prefecture, safeguard our lush mountains and clear waters, and deliver lasting benefits to future generations.

 

The Yano Villagers’ Group comprises 136 households and 412 residents, with an average per capita net income of RMB 9,335. The tea industry is the primary source of income for local farmers. At the home of villager Zhou Bulu, the fuel used in the tea-fixing stove has been switched from firewood to liquefied petroleum gas. Chen Yuhou carefully inquired about the changes after switching to LPG for tea frying, as well as the village’s overall experience with LPG use. He also worked with Zhou Bulu to calculate and compare the costs of using firewood versus LPG. Upon learning that LPG is more cost-effective than purchasing firewood, Chen Yuhou said with satisfaction: “The tea industry is a major pillar of the Jino Ethnic Township. In recent years, as the area under tea cultivation and the volume of tea processing have continued to expand, the demand for fuels such as firewood has grown steadily, placing immense pressure on forest conservation. The adoption of clean energy has significantly curbed deforestation and tree-felling, while also reducing both labor and financial costs in rural areas and mitigating the environmental pollution caused by burning firewood—truly a win-win solution.”

 

Currently, Xishuangbanna Petrochemical Group Its more than 200 liquefied petroleum gas supply outlets are spread across 33 townships, communities, and farms throughout the prefecture, serving over 500,000 household customers and preventing the annual destruction of more than 100,000 cubic meters of timber. This has paved the way for an environmentally friendly, resource-conserving model of sustainable development, delivering significant ecological and social benefits.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Since August of this year, Jinuoshan Township has designated the Yano Village group as a pilot village for promoting clean energy and has been vigorously advancing this initiative. Currently, Xishuangbanna Petrochemical Group One demonstration drum-type fixation machine has been installed in the Yanuo Village group, one traditional wood-fired drum fixation machine has been retrofitted, 20 liquefied petroleum gas burners have been installed, and 34 new liquefied petroleum gas cooking stoves have been put into use. Work on the Yanuo Clean Energy Pilot Village is progressing steadily, and villagers’ desire to use clean energy is growing stronger by the day.

 

The drum-type fixing machine powered by liquefied petroleum gas, now installed at the Piaobulu family’s tea-processing facility, has become the couple’s most reliable production assistant. During the frying process, all that is required is to pour basket after basket of tea leaves into the drum; with just a few button presses by one operator, the temperature, speed, and duration of the frying can be easily controlled. The resulting tea leaves are heated more evenly, yield more product, and require less time than those hand-fried on a traditional stove, while labor costs are also reduced. After observing the entire frying process performed by the drum-type fixing machine and holding the freshly fried tea in his hands, Chen Yuhou was deeply concerned about the quality of the tea produced by the machine. Upon learning that the aroma and taste of the machine-produced tea were indistinguishable from those of hand-fried tea and fully met the requirements of tea buyers, he expressed great satisfaction. Chen Yuhou pointed out that the promotion of clean energy requires the support of new technologies. Next, Xishuangbanna Petrochemical Group and Related The technical departments must enhance follow-up services for the local population, upgrade equipment to reduce production and living costs, and intensify technical training programs. The three counties and cities should, on the basis of carefully listening to public opinions and suggestions, tailoring strategies to local conditions, and conducting sound planning, vigorously carry out pilot projects for promoting clean energy, using these pilot sites as models to drive broader implementation. In this way, they can further transform the traditional, backward modes of production and daily life in certain areas of our prefecture, protect forest resources, build beautiful countryside, and safeguard the rare lush mountains and clear waters of Xishuangbanna.
