[Infrastructure investment accelerated in many places]Infrastructure investment has picked up sharply recently, as evidenced by data released from a number of places. On the basis of major projects started in earnest in the first four months, new projects are being laid out in some localities. In addition, the large-scale construction of new infrastructure in 2023 will help accelerate the release of digital dividends. According to experts, there are many reasons for the acceleration of infrastructure investment, including sufficient project reserves, strong policy support such as land use, and a wide range of funding channels. In 2023, the central government will invest 640 billion yuan, an increase of 30 billion yuan over 2022. At the same time, 3.65 trillion yuan of local government special bonds will be allocated in 2023, much of which will be used for infrastructure investment. National Development and Reform Commission spokesperson Meng Wei said recently that the quota of special bonds for local governments to be used for construction projects in 2022 has been fully allocated. By the end of April, about 1.4 trillion yuan of special bonds had been issued in 2023. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
According to the National Pipeline Network Group, China's first natural gas pipeline network around the island, the Hainan Pipeline Network, has transported over 35 billion cubic meters of gas, equivalent to approximately 46.6 million tons of coal that can be replaced. This is equivalent to reducing dust emissions by over 25.4 million tons and carbon dioxide emissions by over 51.2 million tons, providing solid support for the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and Clean Energy Island.

Recently, 5000 tons of green ammonia produced by China Energy Construction's "Green Hydrogen No.1" Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park project have officially arrived at Nanjing Port. The batch of green ammonia will be transported by the world's first "Shenghang Yongle" ship with professional liquid ammonia fuel refueling function to the anchorage in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, as zero carbon fuel to carry out the world's first ship to ship ocean going vessel refueling operation. This move will achieve the first connection of the entire chain of production, storage, transportation, and refueling of marine green ammonia fuel. Editor/Cheng Liting
