![]()
From October 17 to 18, representatives from 151 countries and 41 international organizations came to China to participate in the third "the Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum, with a total number of registered people exceeding 10000.
At the "the Belt and Road" Entrepreneurs Conference, Zhang Yuzhuo, director of the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, said that in the past 10 years, central enterprises have actively participated in the construction of the "the Belt and Road" and created a number of major projects and landmark projects. In the future, state-owned central enterprises will make greater efforts to promote planning docking, improve facilities, and smooth trade, so as to inject new vitality into the high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road".
Pioneer: Realizing the Dream of High Speed Rail in Java Island Country
On the opening day of the third "the Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum, the G1137 multiple unit train started from Halim Station in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway was officially put into operation. The maximum operating speed of the train was 350 kilometers per hour, and the fastest speed between the two places was 46 minutes. This marks that Indonesia has entered the era of high-speed railway, and the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" between China and Indonesia has achieved significant landmark results.
Jakarta and Bandung are two important central cities in Indonesia, connecting the most densely populated areas of Indonesia. Before the construction of the Yawan high-speed railway, the traffic on this section of the road was extremely backward, with a 150 kilometer road taking eight to ten hours to walk.
In November 2014, Indonesian President Joko visited China and left a deep impression on China's high-speed rail, expressing Indonesia's intention to build high-speed rail as well. After fierce competition, the orders for the Yawan high-speed railway were ultimately won by China.
Since the launch of the project, China Railway Corporation (601390) has quickly established a project management department to coordinate and coordinate, gathering advantageous resources from affiliated units such as China Railway Third Bureau, China Railway Fourth Bureau, and China Railway Electrification Bureau. It has undertaken the construction task of the Yawan High Speed Railway, which is approximately 57 kilometers away from Bandung. At the same time, it has undertaken the construction of the longest and most difficult tunnels along the entire line, the largest No. 4 beam yard, and the only Padarang station crossing the existing railway The Dekalur Station and high-speed train station, as well as the power and electrification engineering of the entire line, are the largest single building complex in the station building.
Construction and construction are mainly challenges from both natural and cultural aspects, with the first and foremost being challenges from the natural environment. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with complex terrain and frequent volcanoes and earthquakes. Such geographical conditions pose a severe challenge to railway construction.
Each branch of the Yawan High Speed Rail Project Management Department fully utilizes its mature high-speed rail construction technology to overcome difficulties and overcome them, overcoming various obstacles and solving many construction problems such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and active faults.
In the eight years since the project was launched, over 2000 days and nights have passed, and thousands of builders of China Railway have stood firm in their positions, dedicating their time, sweat, and wisdom to realizing the "high-speed rail dream" that the Indonesian people have been hoping for for for for many years.
Contribute to China's Wisdom to Deepen Rules and Standards "Soft Connect"
Rules and standards are an important link in promoting interconnectivity. In the past 10 years, relying on the construction and operation of major infrastructure, China Southern Power Grid Corporation has actively strengthened the docking and mutual recognition and application of rules and standards with the co construction country, promoted the "going global" of Chinese technology, Chinese standards and Chinese equipment, and helped the "the Belt and Road" to build an innovative road.
Santiago, the capital of Chile, is located more than 1300 kilometers north of the vast Atacama Desert. It is one of the driest and most intense areas on Earth with solar radiation. Here, there are infinite possibilities for the future of 'photovoltaic+'.
In 2021, Southern Power Grid International formed a tripartite joint venture with Chile's Transleco and Colombia's National Transmission Company, successfully winning the bid for Chile's first high-voltage direct current transmission project (KILO project). The following year, the Chilean Direct Current Transmission Joint Venture was established, specifically responsible for project construction, operation, and maintenance.
It is understood that by 2029, this approximately 1350 kilometer transmission line will transport the abundant clean energy from the northern Atacama Desert to the Chilean capital region. As the largest overseas green investment grid project of China Southern Power Grid by far, this transmission line will also become an important achievement of the "the Belt and Road" jointly built by China and Chile. It is estimated that it can deliver more than 12.4 billion kilowatt hours of clean power every year, equivalent to 9.4 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions reduction.
Looking into the mountainous areas of northern Vietnam, the small town of Sabah has a unique charm, with bright lights at night. 10 kilometers away from the city center, the Sino Vietnamese joint venture Xiaozhonghe Hydropower Station is operating well, with a cumulative power generation of over 1.2 billion kilowatt hours, safeguarding the vitality and vitality of Sabah.
When I first came here, there were frequent power outages and the sound of generators' roaring 'could be heard everywhere. From 2007 to 2023, Zhu Yunqi, the Secretary of the Board of Directors of Yuezhong Power Investment Co., Ltd., not only witnessed the butterfly transformation in Sabah, but also witnessed the gradual establishment of "Chinese standards" overseas.
In December 2012, the first phase of the Xiaozhonghe Hydropower Station in Vietnam was put into operation. In June 2021, the second phase expansion project began construction and was put into operation in June of the following year. The dry season power generation increased by about 8 million kilowatt hours and the annual power generation increased by about 12%. During the construction process, Vietnam's Xiaozhonghe Hydropower Station adopted a large amount of Chinese equipment and technology.
Promoting the construction of overseas high-quality projects through technical standard cooperation is not an exception for the Xiaozhonghe River Power Station in Vietnam. In the Nantahe No.1 hydropower station in Laos and the 230 kV power grid project in northern Laos, standard cooperation covers multiple links such as substation design, engineering construction and acceptance, and on-site operation and maintenance, effectively supporting the construction and production operation of power engineering in the region.
Let green become the background of jointly building the "the Belt and Road"
The overseas market is one of the three business pillars of China National Chemical Corporation (601117). More than 70000 sets of industrial plants have been built along the "the Belt and Road", accounting for more than 30% of the overseas business, ranking first among the contractors in the global oil and gas service field, and a number of high-quality and landmark typical projects have been completed.
According to reports, the 1.8 million ton/year natural gas to methanol project in Russia is the world's largest single series natural gas to methanol plant. The "100 billion dollar" Baltic Sea Chemical Complex project has created three of the most - the world's largest ethylene integration project, the largest single contract value project in the global petrochemical field, and the project with the largest contract value signed by Chinese enterprises for "going global"; The Nigerian Dangote Refinery Project undertaken is the world's largest single unit refinery.
In the inherent impression of many people, chemical and petrochemical projects often damage and pollute the environment. However, China Chemical has done a good job in environmental protection from the source, carried out green research and development, green design, green construction, and green production, and implemented the concept of green development throughout the entire process, ensuring that project construction meets strict environmental construction standards.
Specifically, on the one hand, China Chemical promotes the application of low-carbon, zero carbon, and negative carbon technologies, utilizing a series of cutting-edge energy-saving and efficiency enhancing technologies such as advanced soda ash technology and large volume coking technology to promote the research and development, demonstration, and industrial application of large-scale carbon capture and storage technology (CCUS), providing a comprehensive carbon neutrality solution for high energy consuming industries in countries along the route. On the other hand, we will accelerate the construction of green and low-carbon factories and parks, and achieve green development throughout the entire process of source emission reduction, process control, end-of-life governance, and comprehensive utilization.
At the same time, accelerate the research, development, promotion and application of new green low-carbon materials such as aerogel, phase change energy storage, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and develop biomass energy such as green methanol to provide key raw material guarantee for achieving the goal of "double carbon". It is understood that China Chemical, with its core technology of "cold hydrogenation", has reduced polycrystalline silicon production costs by 95% and energy consumption by 93%, promoting the global promotion of photovoltaic products.
Angola's 5000 ton/year clinker new dry process cement plant is the first large-scale garden style factory in Africa constructed by China Chemical Second Construction Group Co., Ltd. China Chemical Second Construction innovatively utilizes advanced technologies in clean production and energy conservation and emission reduction, transforming the cement plant into a garden style factory. More than ten heads of state, politicians, and friends from Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America formed the strongest inspection team in history to visit and inspect. The project won the "China Chemical Industry Overseas Quality Engineering Award".
