China’s daily coal output has continued to increase, hitting a new high in recent years, and coal storage in power plants has been improved to close to the level of the same period last year. At present, the coal market supply and demand situation improved significantly, power supply and demand situation is generally stable.

With the rapid recovery of the global economy, the demand for energy rebound rapidly, but the supply of energy for a variety of reasons and difficult to keep up. This year is marked by a double La Nina. Normally, there is a 60 percent chance of a cold winter, but when there is a double La Nina, the chances of a cold winter are much higher and extreme weather is more frequent. Coal, oil and natural gas have always been known as the “three fires” in winter, and this year is unusually cold winter, coal demand may be more vigorous, superimposed heating load increased, power plant daily consumption picked up. With limited supply growth, coal supply and demand will remain tightly balanced during the winter, supporting the market for the second half of the winter, from December to early January.

In terms of demand, October is the traditional off-season, with seasonal decline in demand and passive hoarding of power plants. Enter November, heating season arrival, peak season demand can be expected. In addition, hydropower enters the dry season in winter, and hydropower loss is partially supplemented by thermal power. It is expected that thermal coal demand will still be higher than the seasonal period. Although in the off-season of coal use, the work of increasing production and ensuring supply has been vigorously promoted, the coal supply for electric power continues to remain high, and the inventory of power plants has been improved. However, we should also be aware that, excluding coal in transit, coal storage in most power plants along the coastal and river has not reached a high level. Taking power plants in Jiangsu province as an example, according to the current daily consumption level, power plants can save coal for up to 10.6 days, which is in a safe position. However, in the event of extreme cold, when daily consumption soars, the number of days available for coal storage falls below 10 days. Another example is a power plant in Zhejiang province, which normally consumes 130,000-150,000 tons per day, but this summer and last winter, daily consumption jumped to 200,000 tons. Once power plants’ daily consumption spikes again this winter, the number of days available to store coal will fall sharply.

In the last two months of this year, China’s macro economy is expected to maintain a steady recovery, with industrial enterprises producing at full capacity and sprinting toward the target for the year. All regions and departments have strengthened cross-cyclical adjustment, worked hard to keep the economy operating within a proper range, and kept the economy stable and sound. In winter, hydropower, wind power and photovoltaic power generation output will also be limited, and the replacement role of renewable energy for coal will be weakened. It is expected that China’s energy demand and electricity generation and consumption will maintain rapid growth, which will form a support for coal demand, thermal coal demand will be relatively strong.

Shanxi gives full play to its resource endowment and energy advantage, and promotes the scale effect of carbon-based new materials industry through the joint efforts of government, industry, learning, research and application.

“Shanxi has the cost and cluster advantages of coal resources, and promoting the transformation of coal from ‘energy’ to ‘material’ is an inevitable foothold and important support for the development of Shanxi’s new material industry.” Chen Chengmeng, a researcher at shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry and deputy director of the Key Laboratory of carbon materials at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.

Shanxi is rich in coal, how to play the advantage of resource endowment, Shanxi has been exploring breakthroughs.

It is clear in the plan of 14 Strategic Emerging Industries in the 14th Five-year Plan of Shanxi Province that in the aspect of carbon-based new materials industry, key technologies such as graphene, supercapacitor carbon and third-generation carbon fiber will be made breakthroughs, leading domestic research and development base of carbon-based new materials industry will be built, and the coal industry will be promoted to high-tech and high value-added transformation and development.

From raw materials to new materials, Shanxi coal industry transformation jumps out of its “energy” value, aiming at the goal of “by 2025, the revenue of carbon based new materials industry will reach 50 billion yuan”.

Graphene, the king of new materials, can be made from coal, capacitor carbon, lithium anode, and carbon fiber. In 2012, the Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences set up a research group to carry out research and development of advanced carbon materials, making breakthroughs in graphene, capacitor carbon and other fields.

“In the process of developing activated carbon for supercapacitors, hundreds of tons of raw materials such as precursors and activators were used.” Chen Chengmeng introduced that the research group started from the basic process experiment to master the core technology. At present, the first phase of capacitor carbon industrialization project has been officially launched in Qingxu, and a ton of graphene production line has been running steadily for more than seven years.

The world is facing a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and mastering the discourse power of the new material industry has become the focus of contention. At present, Shanxi is frequently deployed in the field of carbon-based new materials. While accelerating the technological maturity of carbon fiber, graphene, and supercapacitor carbon, it simultaneously promotes the industrial application of carbon-based synthetic new materials, seeking to occupy a higher position in the national industrial chain.

After shanxi Yangmei Group changed its name to Huayang Group as a whole, this provincial key state-owned enterprise transformed from coal to new material industry. A batch of new projects, such as carbon-based aerogel, anthracite sodium ion battery and monolayer graphene oxide, have pressed the “fast forward button”.

“Carbon-based new material industry is still in the incubation period, there are few products on the market at present, key technologies in some fields are still restricted by developed countries, and high-end products are still dependent on imports.” Chen chengmeng said that shanxi should make full use of its resource endowment and energy advantages, and promote the scale effect of carbon-based new materials industry through joint efforts of government, industry, learning, research and development.

“Facing the demand of new materials and energy revolution, it is the mission of researchers to conquer key technologies and help the low-carbon transformation of the coal industry.” He said.

The number of industrial parks and economic and trade cooperation zones built by Chinese enterprises in Africa is increasing and their business scope is increasingly diversified, qian Keming, vice Minister of Commerce, said at the press conference of the 8th Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation held by the State Information Office on November 17. Covering resource utilization, trade and logistics, light industry building materials, textile and clothing, machinery manufacturing, household appliances, agricultural production and other fields.

Qian said various development zones in China play a very important role in reform and opening up, attracting foreign investment and developing industries. On the other hand, in terms of African development, the infrastructure development level is relatively backward, and it is relatively concentrated in one place to carry out “several access and several leveling”. In terms of preferential policies, some preferential policies are also given to the park, which is conducive to attracting investment. In terms of “going global”, 70% of Chinese enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises, which are relatively weak in terms of investment ability, negotiation ability and international operation ability. Concentrate in one park and create a better environment for the park through the government. Therefore, The development of Chinese industrial parks in Africa has been relatively fast in recent years.

Ke-ming qian is introduced, some African countries are developed industrial park development planning, and introduced the corresponding regulations and policies, China’s enterprises in the construction of industrial parks and economic and trade cooperation zone number are also growing, and the business scope has become increasingly diverse, covering the resource utilization, trade logistics, light industry, building materials, textile and garment, machinery manufacturing, household appliances, agricultural production and other fields. For example, The Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone in Egypt has formed a layout of five industries: petroleum equipment, high and low voltage electrical appliances, textile and clothing, new building materials, and machinery manufacturing. Meanwhile, it also drives the settlement of upstream and downstream industries, forming an industrial agglomeration effect. For example, The Eastern Industrial Park in Ethiopia introduced the concept of Chinese industrial park development and operation, providing customs clearance logistics and “one-stop” services, and the enterprises involved in textiles, building materials, automobiles, food processing, medical treatment and so on.

Ke-ming qian said that the next step, with African countries, China will continue to experience sharing, policy coordination and supporting infrastructure, investment management, etc., to support in the business cooperation zone construction, to further strengthen cooperation zone “magnet effect”, as Africa’s “nesting ultra-competitive of industrialization, a new highland china-africa industrial production cooperation.

Qian Keming, Vice Minister of Commerce, introduces the economic and trade work of the 8th Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) at a press conference held by the State Information Office at 10:00 today (November 17).

Qian Keming said that the new measures of this session are mainly based on the following considerations:

First, we need to align our development strategies. The new measures will combine China’s long-term goal of 2035 with a new development pattern featuring “dual circulation”. The purpose of our cooperation with Africa is to align our plans with the AGENDA 2063 of the African Union. The African Union has formulated an Agenda 2063, and there are many specific plans within this framework. We will enhance the synergy of our strategies in this regard and define the development path and specific measures for China-Africa cooperation.

Second, focus on cooperation opportunities. New measures will focus on the epidemic situation in Africa and china-africa cooperation in economic and social development of new opportunities, covering both traditional china-africa cooperation areas, and to support the development of Africa as the main line, focusing on health disease resistance, poverty reduction and trade and investment in areas such as people’s livelihood, expanding African in the digital economy and green low carbon, vocational education and other emerging areas of cooperation. The synergy strategy I just mentioned is a long-term plan. Actually, we have a three-year cooperation plan, which focuses on specific areas of cooperation.

Third, pool strength for cooperation. The new measures will encourage and support more departments, local governments, enterprises and financial institutions, as well as market-based funds such as commercial credit and enterprise investment, to participate in China-Africa cooperation, thus increasing the effective force of China’s cooperation with Africa. In the past, we mainly provided assistance at the central level, including sovereign loans, but now we need to expand to local governments and enterprises, especially private enterprises. In addition, it has expanded from some traditional areas to emerging areas, including low carbon and digital economy, with diversified participation and expansion to emerging areas.

Qian said that during the meeting, China and Africa will jointly release the China-Africa Cooperation Vision 2035, make a medium – and long-term plan for China-Africa cooperation, lay down the main framework for bilateral cooperation in the next 15 years, and further enhance the forward-looking, systematic and continuity of the new measures of the Forum. We believe that with the joint efforts of China and Africa, the new FOCAC meeting will be a grand gathering for China and Africa to achieve win-win cooperation and common development at a higher level.

There are several aspects of FBA fees

Storage fees, order handling fees, sorting and packaging fees, weighing and handling fees and other fees that are not commonly used.

FBA fees =FulfillmentFees(implementation fees)+MonthlyStorageFees +InventoryPlacement Service

Other charges are for personalized services such as labeling, shipping, destruction, special packaging, etc.

If you want to open a shop in Amazon Germany, you need to understand the rules of Amazon and the laws and regulations of Germany, otherwise you can’t operate smoothly. German packaging law is a law to reduce the use of packaging and the impact of packaging on the environment. Although it has been nearly two years, there are still many sellers who do not know the rules, or even how to register. It doesn’t matter, today this article will take you in-depth understanding and study the German packaging law.

First of all, let’s understand what is the German packaging law?

German packaging method -Verpackungsgesetz, referred to as VerpackG. It is an upgraded version of the German packaging Regulation Verpackungsverordnung (VerpackV), which came into effect on 1 January 2019. The decree creates a new set of obligations for commercial entities to package goods on the German market. As a supplier of products and goods to the German market, Etisoft has met these requirements and is registered in the Central Packaging Registration System. If you do Europe or Germany station, deep cultivation of Germany, must understand this packaging method, and must go to the registration for the record!

What happens if the German packaging law is not registered?

The packaging law and regulations have come into effect on January 1, 2019. I believe that those who do European stations have received an email notification from Amazon. All sellers are required to comply with the new packaging act, otherwise the products will not be stocked or sold in Germany.

Requirements: as long as your customers are in Germany (that is, anyone staying in Germany will receive your package), any package of your products must be registered and licensed. Otherwise, your product will not be able to sell in Germany, and you will have to pay a fine of up to 200,000 euros!

Why is there this law?

The answer in two words: environmental protection. Germany requires you to register, that is, to let the waste disposal company in your country know whether your packaging can be handled. If they can handle it, they’ll sell it to you; If it cannot be treated, they simply refuse entry.

German packaging law registration process

China’s economic development and carbon emission reduction go hand in hand and reinforce each other. The current contradiction is one of the challenges China faces in the process of economic transformation and upgrading to achieve high-quality development. Although there may be some pains in this process, only by being determined to face up to the problems and solve them can we achieve leapfrog and high-quality development of the Chinese economy.

More than 20 provinces in China are suffering from power shortages due to coal shortages and soaring coal prices. In this regard, some Westerners are concerned that China will not be able to meet its carbon peak and carbon neutral targets on time if it redevelops coal power on a large scale.

Such fears are misplaced. Coal is a high-carbon energy source. In the context of climate change and low-carbon development, it is the general trend of the world to gradually reduce the use of coal, and China is no exception. However, a good understanding of reality helps to make objective and prudent judgments. In addition to increasing demand, the main reason for China’s coal shortage is insufficient supply. The reason behind it is related to China’s efforts in recent years to reduce the proportion of coal in the energy mix. In the supply-side structural reform that began in 2016, China has shut down 1 billion tons of coal capacity and eliminated or closed a large number of coal mines. The coal shortage reminds us that development is the premise and basis for solving all problems. We should promote low-carbon transformation in a balanced and orderly manner while ensuring stable and safe energy supply.

But this does not mean that China will slow down its low-carbon development process. Recently, a series of high-profile intensive heavy file, including the central committee of the communist party of China, issued by the State Council “about complete and accurate to fully implement the new concept of development to do a good job of carbon of peak carbon neutral opinion”, the State Council issued the action plan for peak carbon up to 2030 years ago, as well as “China’s response to climate change policy and action”, the white paper, Implementation plans will also be released in key sectors such as energy, industry, construction and transportation, as well as in key industries such as coal, power, steel and cement. China has demonstrated its determination to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality with concrete actions. It has reaffirmed that it will introduce capacity control policies for coal power generation, coal chemical industry and other industries to accelerate the pace of coal reduction. The growth of coal consumption was strictly controlled during the 14th Five-Year Plan period and gradually decreased during the 15th Five-year Plan period. We will coordinate the development of coal and power plants, ensure their supply and adjust peaks, strictly control the installed scale of coal and power plants, and speed up energy-saving upgrading and flexible transformation of existing coal and power units. At the same time, China reiterated that it will build a new type of power system with new energy as the main body, and improve the power grid’s ability to absorb and regulate a high proportion of renewable energy.

In fact, the share of coal-fired power generation in China’s total installed power generation capacity has dropped from 65.7 percent in 2012 to 49.1 percent in 2020, a historic leap of less than half. China ranks first in the world in cumulative installed capacity of hydropower, wind power and photovoltaic power generation.

Energy shortage is a common challenge facing the world at present, and its core problem is the balance and coordination between energy supply and carbon emission reduction in economic development. As far as China is concerned, reducing carbon emissions is not only China’s solemn commitment to the world, but also an integral part of China’s economic transformation and upgrading and the realization of high-quality development. In other words, China’s economic development and carbon emission reduction go hand in hand and reinforce each other. The current contradiction is one of the challenges China faces in the process of economic transformation and upgrading to achieve high-quality development. Although there may be some pains in this process, only by being determined to face up to the problems and solve them can we achieve leapfrog and high-quality development of the Chinese economy. To fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new vision on development, we must not give up eating for fear of choking or turn back when confronted with obstacles. At the same time, we should not ignore the complexity, long-term nature and arduous nature of the current problems, and we should not expect to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality overnight.

We believe that the future is bright and the road is tortuous. We have every reason to be confident that China will reach its carbon peak and carbon neutral targets as scheduled.
