[The demonstration project of the National Key R&D Program has started construction]On September 24th, the key technology demonstration project for wide load peak shaving and ultra-low emissions of circulating fluidized bed boilers in the 14th Five Year National Key R&D Plan was officially launched at Shanxi Shuozhou Thermal Power Company. This project brings together top universities, research institutes, and power generation enterprises such as Huadian Shanxi Shuozhou Thermal Power Company, Tsinghua University, and Huadian Electric Power Research Institute. Its aim is to promote the development of circulating fluidized bed boiler technology to a new height of "two highs and two lows" through the integrated application of original technologies, such as efficient collaborative control of sulfur and nitrogen pollutants, rapid load adjustment, and ultra-low emissions of pollutants under a wide load. It will help coal-fired power generation enterprises achieve low-carbon and flexible transformation, and lay a solid technical foundation for building a new type of power system. Given that Shanxi, as an important energy base and pilot province for the electricity spot market, has a new energy installed capacity of over 55 million kilowatts, but the intermittency and volatility of new energy pose challenges to the stability of the power grid, this project will focus on solving the technical problems of circulating fluidized bed boilers during low load and peak shaving processes, increasing the unit load change rate by more than 30% and adding 10% peak shaving potential, thereby significantly enhancing the flexibility, economy, and reliability of coal-fired power generation units, and setting an example for the industry's green and low-carbon transformation.

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.
