[D-Aloulose project starts construction in Tieling]On November 13th, the groundbreaking ceremony for the annual production of 60000 tons of D-aloulose by Liaoning Qiyuan Energy was held in the Green Bio Intelligent Manufacturing Health Industry Park in Kaiyuan City, Tieling, Liaoning Province. D-Aloulose is a natural and ideal sweetener for health, and the industry is currently in a critical window period. This project is a major breakthrough in the food industry in Tieling City, with a total investment of 10 billion yuan. The first phase has a total investment of over 1 billion yuan. After completion, it will form an annual production capacity of 60000 tons, with supporting full chain facilities, and an expected annual output value of 1 billion yuan. The project is jointly built by Liaoning Yihai Kerry and Hainan Wanhe Huisheng, with a strong alliance between the two parties to achieve industrial synergy. The implementation of the project has connected the industrial value chain of Tieling from "corn raw materials" to "green bio intelligent manufacturing". After reaching production capacity, the annual consumption of corn starch is about 350000 tons, which drives corn planting, promotes industrial upgrading, activates the vitality of the logistics industry, provides employment opportunities, and attracts downstream enterprises to gather. The settlement of the project is due to the superior investment environment, government sincerity, and efficient execution in Kaiyuan City. Kaiyuan City insists on putting projects first and optimizing the business environment. The project general manager stated that they will make every effort to promote the construction. The commencement of the D-aloulose project is a new starting point for the high-quality development of Tieling and a new hope for the revitalization of Northeast China, which will inject lasting momentum into the revitalization of northern Liaoning.

In the global energy transition wave, Saudi Arabia's actions are attracting the attention of the world. Recently, Saudi energy giant ACWA Power announced that it has secured a massive financing of up to $5.95 billion for its 15GW clean energy projects. This funding will be used to support two wind power projects and five photovoltaic projects located within Saudi Arabia, demonstrating the clear strategy of this oil kingdom to extend its energy dominance through new energy.
This financing can be regarded as a "national team global tour", attracting 29 financial institutions from the Gulf region, Europe, China, Japan and other places to participate. Among them, several Chinese financial institutions, including Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and China Minsheng Bank, have provided strong support. The loan term is as long as 27 years, reflecting the confidence of international capital in the long-term prospects of Saudi Arabia's new energy development.
The equity structure of the project is jointly held by ACWA Power, Badeel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saudi sovereign fund PIF, and Saudi Aramco Power Company. This national level risk sharing model greatly enhances market confidence. All projects are expected to be fully operational from the second half of 2027 to the first half of 2028. Saudi Arabia's rapid execution capability is in line with its strategy of seizing the future "second pot of gold" - by building a globally leading low-cost green power base, laying the foundation for future industries such as hydrogen energy and green metallurgy, and reshaping its role in the global energy landscape.

Chinese energy storage companies have recently made significant breakthroughs in the European market. With the cumulative installed capacity of energy storage in Europe expected to exceed the 100GW mark by November 2025, the market is entering a critical stage of large-scale development. In this context, China Automotive New Energy has signed a 2GWh energy storage strategic cooperation agreement with Belgian energy company AVESTA, while Kubo Energy has also reached a 1GWh strategic cooperation agreement with Romania's VoltLink Energy.
As a joint venture between multiple Chinese state-owned enterprises in the field of power batteries, China Automotive New Energy has obtained over 14GWh of energy storage orders worldwide by 2025. Kubo Energy continues to focus on the European market, and this cooperation aims to build an energy service ecosystem that covers the entire chain. The signing of these orders reflects a structural change in the European energy storage market from household use to large-scale project dominance, driven by a significant improvement in energy storage economics. From 2022 to 2025, the cost of European LFP energy storage systems has decreased by about 37%, and the reform of the electricity market has created a diversified revenue model of "energy arbitrage+ancillary services" for energy storage.
Despite Europe's ambitious goal of 500-780 GWh by 2030, the path to achieving it still faces challenges. The lengthy approval process and fragmented internal market may constrain the pace of development. The strong entry of Chinese energy storage companies not only seizes the opportunity of market explosion, but also injects key technological products and solutions into Europe's energy transformation.
