[SSE plans to invest £40bn in clean energy projects] SSE Plc, a power generator and grid operator, set out plans to invest as much as 40 billion pounds in clean-energy projects over a decade and called on the government to keep Britain competitive. The UK is working to boost its renewable power generation capacity to meet its goal of net zero emissions by 2050 and to become more independent of imported energy after geopolitical conflicts caused supply disruptions. What we want to see is an acceleration of pace and ensuring that Britain can compete with places like the United States with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), SSE chief executive Alistair Phillips-Davies said in a conference call with reporters. Mr Phillips-davies said SSE could not rule out future investments in the US, but expected Europe to remain its core market. The UK has a contract for difference (CfD) scheme to help stimulate investment in new renewable energy projects, offering a guaranteed minimum price for the electricity they produce.

• [New model of direct conversion of pulp ships landed at Qingdao Port]
• On September 16, 2026, Qingdao Port in Shandong Province successfully implemented the international transfer of pulp and the direct transfer of ships to the full logistics mode. Imported pulp ships do not need to be landed and stored after unloading, and can be directly loaded onto adjacent berths and shipped overseas. This mode achieves synchronous unloading and loading, shortens the time for ships to stop at the port, and reduces transportation costs and quality damage risks.Editor/Gao Xue
