China commences work on Xudabao nuclear unit 3

CNNC starts construction work of its $17b-worth project.

Te Xudabao 3 nuclear project in Huludao, Liaoning Province, which is run by the Chinese state-run nuclear group China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), officially started construction. This nuclear project is to include six 1,000-megawatt units.

On the other hand, Xudabao 4 nuclear unit located in the same province, will start its construction by 2022. In Construction Global news, Sam Steer reports that the VVER-1200 reactors, flagships of the Atomstroyexport, a subsidiary of Russian nuclear power company Rosatom, were commissioned for the Xudabao station following the agreement between China and Russia in June 2018.

Enerdata reported that in 2019, CNNC and Rosatom signed an agreement on the construction of two VVER-1200 nuclear reactors (units 1 and 2), and the general contract for two additional VVER-1200 reactors (units 3 and 4) which is set to be commissioned by 2027-2028.

In addition, according to World Nuclear News, Rosatom will design the nuclear island, as well as supply steam generators, cooling pumps, piping, and pressurisers. It will also oversee the construction and commissioning of each reactor. The design and construction of the remainder of the plant will be supervised by China.

This Xudabao nuclear project is owned by Liaoning Nuclear Power Company, a joint venture of CNNC (70%), Datang International (20%), and State Development and Investment Corporation (10%).

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
