Hong Kong probable to become LNG bunkering hub and challenge Singapore. Hong Kong adding LNG terminal
They were sounding out construction managers for that job early 2020 I think. Kinda strange how they got BV of all people to do the feasibility study. I wonder who they are going to get to build it, hopefully not Leightons lol..

Look out for China's Hydrogen Fuel Plans. I think there is a competition here between Japan and China. Japan has placed its bets on Hydrogen Fuel cells ( as it looks to secure its future energy needs) but then China is the equalizer who threatens Japan's plans for monopoly.

Another technology to look out for is the Aluminum Ion Batteries.

The US does not have enough LNG export capacity to replace Russian gas exports to Europe. And it would cost triple the price. You need to liquefy the gas and ship it by boat.

Hope they place orders for LNG carriers to China in that case.

I think the question should be whether Europe is willing to pay sea borne LNG prices for US gas. Lots of LNG terminals in the gulf are becoming live again, along with expansions to the likes of Freeport etc. It'll be a little different in a few years time if they do get built.

World's first fourth-generation high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power project that is connected to the grid for power generation : 10MW pebble-bed modular high-temperature gas-cooled experimental reactor connected to Power Grid

"China National Nuclear Corporation" WeChat public account issued an article on December 20: On December 20, announced that the world's first pebble bed modular high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear power plant- Shandong Rongcheng Shidaowan -demonstration project was successfully delivered. This is the world's first fourth-generation high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power project that is connected to the grid for power generation. It marks that my country has become one of the few countries in the world that has mastered fourth-generation nuclear energy technology. By.

As an important participant in the construction of the demonstration project of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plants, China National Nuclear Corporation, together with Tsinghua University and Huaneng Group, has played an important role in EPC general contracting, fuel element manufacturing, and engineering construction. After the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant demonstration project is put into production, the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor will further enter the five sub-target markets of "hydrogen, steam, water, heat, and electricity", and provide a comprehensive solution for the realization of the "dual carbon" goal. . At present, China National Nuclear Corporation regards the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor as one of the main types of the spectrum reactor type sequence, and is steadily advancing the next larger-scale high-temperature gas-cooled reactor project.

The key core technology of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plants belongs to China. The localization rate of equipment is as high as 93.4%. Approximately 50,000 drawings, 100,000 pages of documents and more than 15,000 nuclear reactor equipment with high technical content and high safety design requirements have been formed. From the completion of the 10MW pebble-bed modular high-temperature gas-cooled experimental reactor, to now the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant is officially connected to the grid for power generation, China has taken the advanced nuclear energy technology of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor from scratch, from following to parallel. A big step from technology introduction to independent innovation has achieved high-level technological self-reliance and self-reliance.

A few days ago, at the just-concluded high-level forum of China National Nuclear Corporation and Tsinghua University’s Party Building to Promote Major Technological Innovations, a comprehensive summary of the major special technological achievements and institutional innovation achievements of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors was made. , China Nuclear Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is the link that gathers all parties in the innovation chain of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor industry chain, forming a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor innovation network led by party building, close contact, mutual support, and win-win cooperation, and step out a way to promote nuclear energy technology

It is reported that the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor is known as the "reactor that will not melt down", and the high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear power plant is also known as the "safest nuclear power plant." A large amount of radioactivity was released, bringing a new realm to the application of nuclear energy. On the basis of inherent safety, the high temperature gas-cooled reactor also has the characteristics of high temperature, strong environmental adaptability, and flexible combination of multiple modules. Its temperature parameters also cover ethanol purification, salt chemical industry, petrochemical industry, coal chemical industry, hydrogen production and other fields.

I suppose this is totally different type of development, nothing related with recently developed molten salt reactor?
