Solar power will be used to heat the inflight meals of up to 30,000 passengers as part of the government's 200 million yuan green energy plan.
The solar system is one of the clean energy pilot projects being promoted by the
Beijing municipal government.
Li said the airport invested 4 million yuan in the solar system and it helped save 260,000 cu m of natural gas in 2009 and 830,000 yuan.
Other clean energy projects include the sunny campus program, under which solar lamps, solar billboards and solar scientific classrooms will be built in half of Beijing's schools by 2012.
"The construction is relatively simple on campus, so it will not affect normal study and work of students and teachers," said Gao Xinyu, chief of division of energy development at BMDRC.
"Besides, the program will enhance the awareness of teenagers to choose green energy."
