In recent years, my country's new energy vehicle industry has developed rapidly, injecting strong momentum into the green and low-carbon development of transportation vehicles. What is less known is that at the mouth of the Yangtze River, on the vast ocean, the container ships that are an important means of transportation for international cargo trade are also undergoing an energy transformation. These big guys that traditionally rely on fuel oil and liquefied natural gas as power are turning to a cleaner fuel energy source - green methanol.

On June 28, reporters learned at the 2024 Ship Alternative Fuel Conversion Industry Exchange Seminar and Methanol Dual-Fuel Conversion Promotion Conference that another five traditional fuel container ships will be converted into methanol dual-fuel powered ships by Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry on Changxing Island, transforming them into greener and lower-carbon ships.

Data shows that compared with traditional fuels, renewable methanol can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90% in life cycle assessments. As a room-temperature liquid fuel, methanol is safer than LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, etc., and has become a development direction for new green fuels in the shipping industry in the future.

According to relevant persons in charge of Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry, as an important participant in global shipping, Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry has been actively committed to promoting the green transformation of shipping in recent years, and has continuously explored and practiced the green alternative fuel transformation of ships. The methanol dual-fuel powered ship that Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry is about to convert this time comes from Seaspan. As early as March 2024, Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry also signed a "22" EPCIC transformation for dual-fuel conversion of 13.8k and 20k standard container ships with COSCO Shipping Container Lines Co., Ltd. "The signing of the methanol dual-fuel conversion agreement with Seaspan not only allows the industry to see the potential of Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry in the field of methanol dual-fuel ship repair and conversion, but also consolidates our dominant position in the field of new energy ship repair and conversion."

At the COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry 2024 Ship Alternative Fuel Conversion Industry Exchange Seminar and Methanol Dual-Fuel Conversion Promotion Conference held this morning, experts from COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry, MAN, Wärtsilä, Winterthur, China Classification Society, Lloyd's Register, DNV GL, Weihai Heavy Industry Technology, China Ship and Offshore Engineering Design Institute and other companies focused on the most cutting-edge industry prospects, market trends, technical solutions for ship alternative fuel conversion, and conducted in-depth discussions and exchanged experiences.

It is reported that as a high value-added ship and one of the mainstream ship types in the market, the transformation and development of large methanol dual-fuel container ships is the focus of competition among shipbuilding companies around the world, and is an important ship type platform for achieving energy conservation, emission reduction and ship type upgrades. Experts attending the meeting believe that this modification project not only caters to the needs of the new round of global low-carbon/zero-carbon fuel technology revolution for ships, but also conforms to the country's "dual carbon" strategic goals. It will effectively fill the lack of domestic methanol fuel-powered ship industry standards, promote the research and application of methanol fuel power technology, enhance my country's independent research and development capabilities for green zero-carbon equipment and systems, and realize the integration of green zero-carbon technology on ships. The demonstration results formed in this process will also provide a basic, strategic and leading role for the promotion and application of the shipping industry, and enhance my country's shipbuilding industry innovation capabilities and international competitiveness.

"We will continue to focus on leading scientific and technological innovation, pay attention to leveraging our own advantages, promote the transformation and upgrading of product structure, assist in the construction of Changxing's 'world-class marine equipment island', and actively promote the export of Chinese high-end manufacturing." said a relevant person in charge of Shanghai COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry.

By the banks of the Wenzaobang River, the Smart Bay Science and Technology Innovation Park, characterized by various container stacking combinations, has long been a well-known check-in destination in Shanghai. In recent months, it has also made frequent appearances on social media platforms. Every weekend, a large number of citizens and tourists from various districts and even surrounding cities in Shanghai flock to the "Box Encounter Smart Bay Car Spare Box Market", opening a "shopping and eating" mode, playing from day to night. At its busiest, the park had over 30000 visitors per day. Not only this park has become a popular attraction, but in Baoshan District of northern Shanghai, a number of markets such as Zhongcheng Zhigu "Rail Market" and Fangcaoyu "Good Market" have emerged one after another, blooming with vitality. Using the market as a medium, Baoshan District is focusing on the construction of a youth development oriented urban area. Through the joint coordination of resources by the Youth League Committee and various departments, we are exploring and uniting market forces to create a series of brand markets with distinct themes and rich scenes

What is the ultimate meaning of life? How to spend the "last stop" of life with warmth and dignity? Recently, an academic seminar and art sharing event with the theme of "Life Education and Palliative Care under the Integration of Community Care" was held in Liangcheng Xincun Street, Hongkou District. Representatives of community residents who participated in this activity followed life reviews, case sharing, care practices, music therapy, and other stages to understand life, understand life, and touch dignity, quietly sowing the seeds of "peaceful care". Palliative care is a multidisciplinary collaborative model centered around end-of-life patients and their families, providing physical, psychological, and spiritual care and humanistic care services for end-of-life patients. It originated from end-of-life care and aims to treat people rather than cure them. It is committed to providing social, humanistic, and emotional comfort for patients, making them live with respect

On the morning of June 9th, the "Annual Production of 60000 Tons of Additives Project" of Kekai Chemical Co., Ltd. held a groundbreaking ceremony at the Carbon Valley Green Bay Industrial Park in Shanghai. The project covers an area of about 40 acres, with a planned total investment of 250 million yuan. The expected annual output value of the entire line after reaching production is about 700 million yuan, and the annual tax revenue is about 70 million yuan. It is reported that the project has been listed as one of the "Top 10 Key Foreign Investment Projects in Shanghai" for the current year. After the completion of the new factory, it can meet the growing demand of domestic enterprises for a large number of spinning oil products, better compensate for the technical shortcomings of domestic chemical fiber products in the market, and become a strong support force for "increasing" and "supplementing" the chemical fiber sub sector. In recent years, the National Bureau of Statistics has included fiberglass and fiberglass products in the "Classification of Strategic Emerging Industries". After continuous and rapid development, China's chemical fiber production has accounted for
