[Hubei 200000 ton polycrystalline silicon project starts construction]Recently, Longchang (Hubei) Silicon Industry Co., Ltd., located in Dawu County Economic Development Zone, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, started construction of a 200000 ton annual polycrystalline silicon project. This project aims to process and produce high-purity industrial silicon through the recycling of discarded photovoltaic power panels and the purification and regeneration of waste silicon powder after photovoltaic crystal silicon cutting. The planned investment is 500 million yuan, covering an area of 110 acres and a factory building area of 80000 square meters. After all projects are put into operation, the expected annual output value is 2 billion yuan, the annual tax revenue is 60 million yuan, and 200 job opportunities are provided. The commencement of this project will further strengthen the recycling and utilization industry chain of waste photovoltaic modules, promote the efficient utilization of renewable energy, improve the resource utilization rate of the photovoltaic industry in Dawu County, and inject new vitality into the development of Dawu's green circular economy.

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.
