IN-DEPTH China Focus: China to further loosen control on fuel prices

  • BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — China’s State Council, the country’s cabinet, on Thursday announced guidance in accelerating reform of pricing mechanisms. The government is poised to further marketize energy prices and loosen its control on prices of refined oil products.
    Energy experts point out that the time is ripe for further reform of the product oil pricing mechanism as China’s oil refining capacity keeps expanding and the supply of refined oil becomes abundant. However, concerns are hovering over the monopoly of China’s product oil market.

    — Adjustments of product oil pricing mechanism
    The reform will be the latest of a series of adjustments China has made in the past several years to marketize its product oil pricing mechanism.
    Compared with natural gas and electricity, China’s product oil pricing reform is a front runner. The government launched an initiative at the end of 2008 to reform the pricing mechanism of refined oil products, which aimed to make the market play a bigger role in deciding product oil prices.
    The reform was amid a shortage of product oil supply in China. The new mechanism, which pegged domestic product oil prices more closely with international crude oil prices, boosted oil refiners’ performance and increased product oil supply in the country.
    However, the pricing mechanism was criticized for its lack of transparency, especially after international crude oil prices climbed to the high level over the years.
    To improve the product oil pricing mechanism, China made several adjustments in March 2013, shortening the adjustment cycle to 10 working days and lowering the price-change trigger to 50 yuan per tonne.

    — Time for further reform
    Under the current product oil pricing mechanism, prices of refined oil products are still controlled by the government. Experts point out that the time is ripe for further reform.
    China’s oil refining capacity expanded fast during the 12th Five-year Plan period (2011-2015), which resulted in the abundant and sometimes excessive supply of refined oil. China should change the produce oil pricing mechanism along with the change in the market, said Yao Daming, a member of the Guangdong Oil and Gas Association.
    Prices of refined oil in China are expected to remain at a low level as the international crude oil supply continues to grow while demand growth is likely to be limited. Low crude prices will be beneficial for Chinese refiners looking to turn around and for further reform of China’s product oil pricing mechanism, according to Lin Boqiang, an energy expert with Xiamen University.

    — Concern over monopoly
    China’s product oil market is highly monopolized. China’s two largest oil refiners, PetroChina (PTR.NYSE; 00857.HK; 601857.SH) and Sinopec Corp. (SNP.NYSE; 00386.HK; 600028.SH), produce over 80 percent of China’s total product oil output.
    According to the two companies’ interim reports, PetroChina produced 46.475 million tonnes of gasoline, diesel and kerosene, and Sinopec Corp.’s output stood at 74.75 million tonnes in the first half of the year. Their combined output accounted for 81.6 percent of China’s total output of refined oil during the period.
    Many analysts are concerned that if the pricing of refined oil is fully marketized, the two refining giants will have a decisive say.
    China needs a systematic reform in order to achieve the real marketization of the product oil pricing mechanism, said Lin.
    Yao said the government should open the upstream of the oil and gas sector as well oil pipelines to private firms and improve oil futures and spot trade so that market players can have an opportunity to compete fairly. Enditem

China’s grid-connected wind power capacity to reach 120 TW by end-2015

BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — China’s installed capacity of wind power generation facilities that are connected to the power grid had reached 105 TW by the end of June and is estimated to reach 120 TW by the end of this year, according to Zhu Ming, vice deputy of the Department of New Energy and Renewable Energy of the National Energy Administration (NEA).
The 13th Five-year Plan period (2016-2020) will be a key period for China’s adjustment of the energy supply mix and the development of renewable energy, said Zhu.
The Chinese government has set a target to boost the share of non-fossil fuels in the country’s primary energy consumption to 15 percent by the end of 2020.

丹麦将在2020年实现集体供暖20%来自太阳能

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)--据瑞丹边界的跨海大桥额雷顺德消息,丹麦不但在风能方面在世界领先,而且在太阳能方面也名列前茅。

丹麦《工程师》杂志报道说,丹麦计划在2020年,就是5年后实现集体供暖方面的能源使用20%来自太阳能。

这主要得益于从2016年开始,国家将大幅度投资于太阳能安装使用,太阳能成本将大幅下降。

 

瑞典语如下:

En femtedel av dansk fjärrvärme kommer från sol år 2020

I en ny prognos från Dansk Fjernvarme håller solenergi på att ersätta naturgas som stor energikälla. Det rapporterar branschtidningen Ingeniøren. Fram till 2020 väntas solenergi växa till att omfatta en femtedel av den danska fjärrvärmeproduktionen.

Från början av 2015 till slutet av 2016 väntas den samlade arealen med solfångare ha ökat med 85 procent till 580 000 kvadratmeter. En orsak till den snabba tillväxten är de bidrag som utgår för anläggningar som blir klara fram till 2016.

Under de senaste fyra åren har kostnaderna för solenergi halverats. Det har lett till att Danmark kan storsatsa på ytterligare en grön energikälla utöver vindkraft och som väntas fortsätta växa även när de statliga bidragen försvinner.

警惕新纳粹 自觉保安全

北欧绿色邮报网社评

陈雪霏

瑞典昨天上午发生1940年以来,人称最严重的校园袭击事件。堪称震惊世界。一个21岁的白人小伙儿,名字叫安东.彼得森。堪比挪威28岁的安德斯.布雷维克在2012年制造的奥斯陆恐怖袭击事件,造成77人死亡。

相比之下,瑞典的彼得森是身穿《星球大战》的黑衣服,蒙面,手持利剑,把自己打扮成一个化装的大侠或者是剑客。而布雷维克是放了炸药,先炸大楼,然后,又沉着地开车到工党学生开会的岛上,蒙骗过警察,然后冷酷地用枪一个个地杀人。

彼得森走到哥德堡附近的特莱尔海顿小城的校园里,一进门,见到第一个人就刺了他。重伤致死。然后到教室,敲门,来开门的男生,一露面,就被刺。一个辅导员企图拦他,被刺死,另一个学生也被刺。一个老师被刺,结果造成两死两伤。一个15岁的女孩打电话报警,警察赶来时,犯罪嫌疑人在楼上,他袭击警察,警察开了两枪。犯罪嫌疑人死亡。

这个彼得森呆在家里,以前喜欢音乐,现在喜欢重金属,死亡金属音乐。在Facebook上下载了这样的音乐。表现出他对德国纳粹和瑞典极右党的兴趣,喜欢批评移民政策的言论和人。他大部分时间喜欢玩儿电脑。

笔者以为,这和以往很多枪击事件相似。他肯定是比较孤僻。他肯定是对移民不满,因此,在动手的时候,也是有选择的。他没有布雷维克那么老练,预谋了那么久。但是,他是有所准备,有所策划的。

瑞典尽管一直强调平等,不许歧视,但是,事实上,因为移民数量的增多,新纳粹势力逐步增强,尽管瑞典政府和在野党都在极力孤立种族主义分子,尽力避而不谈此事,但是,青年失业问题,造成一些人对社会不满。

所以,瑞典这个被认为是人间天堂的地方,也开始出现了这样的事件。瑞典政府已经采取措施防止恐怖袭击。但是,校园惨案发人深省。

除了在政策上要应对,普通人也应该加强安全意识,学校也要加强防范意识。瑞典是一个非常自由的社会,这样的事件,会让我们感到有必要加强安全防范意识。例如雇保安,有登记制度等等。总之,这个事件是我们这个时代的悲剧。希望每个人都能加强安全防范意识,同时,也要继续保持宽容的心态。

电影节组委会主任赛妞斯在接受北欧绿色邮报网采访时说,本届电影节的主题是移民。这个主题是根据世界潮流而定的。当下正逢其时。

赛纽斯说,今年有包括中国在内的70个国家的190部电影参加电影节的放映。其中有赵亮导演的作品。

另外,赛纽斯非常高兴地表示今年终于把著名艺术家艾未未请来出席电影节并为斯德哥尔摩影响奖颁奖。该奖项是斯德哥尔摩市政府出资赞助的首届奖,资金100万克朗是世界上电影节最大的奖金。

赛妞斯说,去年第25届电影节期间来看电影的人数达到历史最高纪录。渴望今年来人更多。她说,这也是瑞典人对付黑暗天气的一个办法。每年11月,瑞典的天气一般都是阴雨连绵,让人感觉非常压抑难受。也就是在这种时候,电影节开始了,人们可以在室内享受艺术,然后,圣诞灯在市中心点亮,等过了圣诞节,人们又开始了新的一年。

今年首部上映的影片将是希腊的《龙虾》。该片导演Lanthimos将获得斯德哥尔摩远见奖颁奖。

英国电影导演Stephen Frears将获斯德哥尔摩电影节终生成就奖。瑞典的纪录片《我是英格丽》将在电影节期间放映。

演员Ellen Burstyn因为电影《爱丽丝再也不住这儿了》将获得斯德哥尔摩成就奖。

从11月11日开始,到11月22日,190部来自70个国家的电影将在瑞典各个影院上映。电影都是英文或是原文带英文字幕的。

当然,对付黑暗的方式还有使用蜡烛。以后再细说。

Better care with 6-hour workday in Gothenburg

 Av Xuefei Chen Axelsson
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 19 (Greenpost)--Six-hour workday has so far proved to be a good policy for Svartedalen elder care home in Gothenburg, according to a press release from Gothenburg.

Fewer sick leaves, improved continuity and less stressed employees are the effects of 6-hour workday in Gothenburg. These are the findings in the first partial research report of the 6-hour workday project at Svartedalen elder care home.

Even the elders at Svartedalen feel like they get a better care and more time with the staff. In interviews they describe the staff as more alert and happier. They also feel that they have more time for activities and greater autonomy. Councillor Daniel Bernmar (Left Party) is not surprised about the positive results.

– Already in the spring, we could meet a happier and less stressed group of staff. They talked about how they gave a better care to the elders and got more time for their families, he says.

Bernmar also argues that the project shows that Gothenburg is open to innovations in working life and dare to try new approaches.

– We run this project to show that it is possible to reduce the working hours with good results and to share best practices, he says.

Pay Drechsel wins 2015 IWA Development Award

Stockholm, Oct. 18(Greenpost)–Pay Drechsel, IWMI’s research theme leader for Resource Recovery, Water Quality and Health, has won the 2015 International Water Association’s Development Award for Research, according to news reaching here from Colombo, Sri Lanka.

 

The award has just been presented at the opening ceremony of the IWA’s Development Congress and Exhibition in Amman, Jordan on Sunday, October 18.

 

“The award is granted in recognition for Pay’s contributions to science which have led to demonstrable impact in low and middle income countries,” said Ger Bergkamp, Executive Director of IWA. “[He is] an example to the water community in each corner of the globe.”

 

Drechsel’s research has played an important role in developing options for safe wastewater use in countries where treatment capacities are low and informal wastewater irrigation is common. His studies continue to explore the importance of irrigated urban and peri-urban agriculture for food security in cities.

 

The award, which is granted every two years, recognizes his long track record in research which has contributed to the development of low-cost safety options along the farm to fork pathway. This work directly supported the World Health Organization’s multi-barrier concept for safe wastewater irrigation, as has been acknowledged by Robert Bos, the former WHO Coordinator of Water, Sanitation and Health.

 

“This recognition is a fantastic acknowledgment of more than a decade of research,” said Drechsel. “I have been strongly supported in this by my dear colleagues, students and partners, as well as the International Water Management Institute which entrusted me with the task to conceptualize and coordinate our work on water quality, food safety and resource recovery”.

 

“This Award from the IWA, the largest global association of water professionals, is also very special as most of our work is been carried out in those places where the technical solutions we all prefer to see are not yet in place.”

 

German by birth, Drechsel graduated as environmental scientist from the University of Bayreuth and started his career as consultant in Africa. He then became as research coordinator for the continent at the International Board of Soil Research and Management (IBSRAM), being first based in Bangkok and then Ghana where he opened the organization’s Africa office. After IWMI incorporated IBSRAM in 2001, Drechsel worked as its sub-regional representative, expanding the number of IWMI staff in Ghana from five to over thirty. In 2005 he became a research division leader. During his 11 years in West Africa, Drechsel comprehensively analyzed the links between rural-urban food demands and the urban footprint. Given the high density of irrigating farmers in and around cities, he was particularly interested in the pollution of water bodies and consequent food safety risks. This work influenced legislation in Ghana including national strategies, development plans and policies, as well as several international water reuse guidelines and their supplements produced by WHO, FAO and USEPA/USAID. His work on safe wastewater management was also one of several highlights cited in 2012 award of the Stockholm Water Prize to the International Water Management Institute.

China expects broader education cooperation with Britain

 Stockholm, Oct. 18 (Greenpost) — China’s Minister of Education Yuan Guiren on Friday praised the progress of education cooperation with Britain and called for more.
Britain is a major destination for Chinese students studying abroad and the number of British students who come to China has increased steadily, said Yuan, in an interview with Xinhua ahead of President Xi Jinping’s visit to Britain next week.
Last year, Chinese government sponsored 2,400 students studying in Britain and 224 British students in China. By the end of 2014, a total of 150,000 Chinese had studied in Britain. In 2014, more than 6,000 British students came to China, a notable increase from previous years.
“Increasing exchanges between young people of China and Britain not only open more opportunities for their personal development but also inject energy into the relationship in the long run,” he said.
Cooperation between universities has also picked up, with Chinese and British universities jointly setting up 17 institutions and 240 programs in China.
In September, the Beijing Normal University and Cardiff University opened a college for Chinese studies in Cardiff. Britain also has the largest number of Confucius Institutes in Europe. Since 2004, education ministers of the two countries have met regularly.  Enditem
