文章介绍了在毛乌素沙地种植沙生灌木治理沙地吸收二氧化碳、用灌木枝条发电减排二氧化碳、以电厂余热和烟气养殖螺旋藻捕集二氧化碳的“三碳经济”产业链。该产业链极大地增强了生物质发电厂的活力，提高了农牧民营林治沙的积极性，显著带动了农牧民增收，并创造了巨大的生态效益。更为重要的是，该产业链实现了被动治沙到主动治沙的转变，在我国沙漠沙地治理的机制建设中也有重要价值。

A "three-carbon economy" is introduced in this article which includes three parts: planting sandy shrub to prevent and control desertification, generating electricity with shrub branches, and feeding spirulina with the smoke. The three parts are also correspondingly the process of CO₂ absorption, carbon emission reduction, and carbon capture, forming a carbon industrial chain. This chain makes the farmers initiatively plant shrubs in sand, and desert control turns to easy thing by benefiting the bio-power factory, the farmers, and also the environments. This industrial chain will contribute to our national desert control strategy.
