[Ningxia Coal Industry Technical Transformation Project Officially Started]Recently, Ningxia Coal Mining Company's MTP process technology upgrade project officially entered the on-site construction stage, marking the start of the project. The project, undertaken by the National Energy Group Ningxia Coal Company, uses domestic advanced DMTO third-generation technology to upgrade the existing coal-based olefins device. The project includes the construction of a 3.6 million tons/year methanol-to-olefin DMTO-Ⅲ unit, which is one of the largest monomer units currently. It will also build a 100,000 tons/year ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer EVA unit. 300,000 tons/year low-density polyethylene LDPE device and high-density polyethylene HDPE device. The project also includes the supporting construction of auxiliary facilities such as circulating water and tank farms. The total investment is approximately 11.8 billion yuan. It is expected to achieve significant energy saving and emission reduction effects after it is put into operation. It can save 4.79 million tons of raw water, 860,000 tons of standard coal, and 100 million cubic meters of natural gas every year, and reduce CO2 emissions by 2.2 million tons. The implementation of this project is of great significance in promoting the construction of a modern coal chemical industry demonstration zone, achieving efficient utilization of raw materials, integration of resource elements, synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, as well as advanced and mature technology and high-end product series.

On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.

On October 9, 2024, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila stated that Malaysia has made progress in improving energy efficiency and that "energy conservation" has become the key to energy transition. Meanwhile, Malaysia will promote the ASEAN power grid as a key topic of discussion at the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. At the 2024 Asia Power and Energy Exhibition, which opened on the 8th, Fadhila revealed that as of June, Malaysia has saved 8769 gigawatt hours of electricity, worth over 2.2 billion ringgit, and plans to reduce 38 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2025. In addition, the Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an energy exchange aimed at selling green electricity to neighboring countries. As the rotating chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia will promote the construction of the ASEAN power grid to promote the promotion of renewable energy and enhance the resilience and reliability of electricity supply in ASEAN member countries.
