[Neijiang's first hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing project started]On June 13, 2024, Sichuan Woyouda Technology Group Co., Ltd. held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Southwest Hydrogen Energy Equipment R&D and Manufacturing Base Project in Neijiang High-tech Zone. As Neijiang's first hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing project, the project has a total investment of 3.1 billion yuan and covers an area of 140 acres. It is mainly committed to the construction of hydrogen purification equipment, new hydrogen production equipment R&D test platforms and equipment production lines. The implementation of the project will effectively fill the regional industrial gap, promote the development of Neijiang's equipment manufacturing industry towards scale and high-end, and lay a solid foundation for Neijiang to accelerate the cultivation of new quality productivity and achieve high-quality development. It is expected that after the project is fully put into production, it will fill the gap in the domestic distributed small-scale intelligent high-purity hydrogen production equipment manufacturing, with an annual output of more than 4,000 sets of hydrogen production equipment, and an annual output value of more than 6 billion yuan.

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.
