China News Service, Ningde, October 15 (Reporters Lu Qiaoqin and Ye Mao) The 2026 World Energy Storage Conference opened in Ningde, Fujian Province on the 15th. During this period, Liu Dufan, member of the Standing Committee of the Ningde Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor of the Municipal Government, released the "Zero Carbon Ningde Action Plan" to create a practical model for the implementation of multiple scenarios.
Ningde was born from the sea and prospered towards green. It has formed an industrial and energy foundation with lithium battery new energy as the leader and wind, solar and storage energy complementary, and has the special conditions to take the lead in exploring zero-carbon development.
According to reports, Ningde will focus on the overall layout of "one core drive, multi-dimensional empowerment, and global linkage", adhere to scenario-driven, pilot first, and transform the construction tasks into a number of implementable and practical diversified demonstration scenarios, form a batch of replicable and promoteable zero-carbon experiences and models, and build a green, low-carbon, smart technology, livable and convenient Ningde zero-carbon future city.
In the field of manufacturing, with Fuding National Zero-Carbon Park as the lead, we will promote the direct connection of green power and nuclear power, supporting incremental distribution networks and park energy storage, and expand provincial zero-carbon park pilots in Dongqiao, Xiapu, and Gutian; explore and improve product carbon footprint accounting and green supply chain systems, and create a number of zero-carbon factory demonstrations such as CATL and Qingtuo Group.
In the field of scientific and technological innovation, build a zero-carbon technology real-life exhibition hall and new product application experimental field to expand the zero-carbon technology space; focus on energy conservation and carbon reduction in zero-carbon data centers, and explore implementation paths for Zhouning Big Data Industrial Park, corporate scientific research data centers, and green electricity direct-connected computing power.
In the field of transportation, build a green logistics network for ports, industries, and cities, promote electric heavy trucks, and electric ships, form a closed loop of zero-carbon logistics in ports, parks, factories, and trunk lines, promote low-altitude and unmanned low-altitude aircraft scenario systems in layers, and smooth zero-carbon ports, zero-carbon logistics parks, and zero-carbon transportation channels.
In the field of mountain and sea cultural tourism, we focus on zero-carbon technology traceability, green carbon sinks, red cultural tourism, and mountain and sea fishing tourism routes, launch a series of zero-carbon benchmark scenic spots such as Baishuiyang Yuanyang River, and Taimu Mountain, and promote zero-carbon transformation of Huotong Ancient Town, Pingnan Ancient Village, etc.; build island multi-energy complementary microgrids according to local conditions, and create differentiated zero-carbon islands that integrate fishery, leisure, wind energy, and energy storage.
In the field of urban and rural construction, focusing on the urban and rural characteristics of the mountains and seas of Eastern Fujian, we will create net-zero carbon demonstrations of public buildings such as zero-carbon parks and zero-carbon communities through full-chain low-carbon transformation; based on the resource characteristics of rural and ancient towns in Eastern Fujian, we will promote differentiated carbon reduction upgrades such as newly built farmhouses and traditional rammed earth dwellings, and build zero-carbon B&Bs, zero-carbon teahouses, and low-carbon farmhouses.
In the field of public institutions, we will carry out zero-carbon transformation in government agencies and units, promote the construction of rooftop photovoltaics, and achieve self-sufficiency in green electricity for office use; build campus microgrids integrating light storage and charging; promote energy-saving transformation, renewable energy utilization and green operations in categories, and build zero-carbon campuses, zero-carbon hospitals, zero-carbon libraries, and zero-carbon gymnasiums.
In the field of consumer services, focus on island resorts, ancient villages and B&B and hotel clusters around key scenic spots to promote low-carbon transformation of buildings; build a zero-carbon management platform to promote green commercial energy supply, integrate green consumption behaviors into the carbon points system, and create a zero-carbon commercial space.
In the field of public activities, focusing on the zero-carbon Ningde Marathon and the national highway G228 "Donghai No. 1" zero-carbon self-driving event, we implemented full-process low-carbon management, created zero-carbon events, promoted green construction of modular booths, resource recycling, and created a zero-carbon exhibition demonstration scene.
In the field of ecological carbon sinks, we focus on blue carbon ecosystems such as mangroves, with Fu'an mangroves as the core, develop and apply carbon sink measurement methodologies, and strive to complete the country's first mangrove CCER transaction to create a carbon sink space; establish a carbon inclusive platform for residents to achieve quantifiable and incentivized low-carbon behaviors such as green travel and garbage classification.
Liu Dufan said that he hopes that people of insight from all walks of life will go to Ningde to join the blue ocean and bring technology, capital and wisdom to this hot land. Ningde will launch more pragmatic and effective policy measures and cooperation platforms to fully support everyone to innovate and start businesses in Ningde, take root in Ningde, jointly build a zero-carbon ecosystem, share green opportunities, promote the zero-carbon vision to become a reality, and make green the most distinctive urban background in Eastern Fujian.

The Energy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs held the 3rd Taiwan-Poland Hydrogen Energy Working Group Meeting in Taipei. The meeting focused on hydrogen energy policy, investment in Polish hydrogen hubs, carbon capture and storage technology, and integration with international standards. Both parties witnessed the signing of a memorandum of cooperation and a joint statement between the Taiwan Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Partnership Alliance and the Lower Silesian Hydrogen Valley Association in Poland, aiming to establish a normalized industrial docking mechanism and promote exchanges and cooperation in the fields of hydrogen drones, distributed hydrogen power generation equipment, and hydrogen energy applications in science and technology parks.

President Lai Ching-te said in an exclusive interview with a financial program that the restart of nuclear power must meet safety standards, have nuclear waste solutions, and have social consensus. He emphasized respecting the decision-making of the Legislative Yuan and procedural justice. At the same time, it was pointed out that Taiwan has sufficient power supply but is overly dependent on petrochemical energy. The renewable energy target is to reach 30% by 2035, and plans to build a 1 GW sovereign AI computing power center by 2040. It proposes that the top ten new AI construction projects include cultivating 500,000 AI talents and balanced development.

The International Energy Agency agreed on the 15th to speed up the release of more than 20 million barrels of diesel and other emergency oil reserves committed in March this year but not yet released to the market to increase supply and curb the surge in oil prices. Member states have released about 330 million barrels of crude oil and agreed to complete the release of remaining reserves in a timely manner based on their actual conditions.

An island-wide blackout occurred on Jibei Island in Penghu at 7:30 tonight, affecting 630 households. Taipower dispatched emergency personnel to repair the problem and restored most of the power supply at 9:50 p.m., leaving only 4 households to be repaired. In addition, it was reported that 8 households in Dongyuping, Nanhai were out of power for 3 days, and repairs are being arranged.
The 2026 World Energy Storage Conference was held in Ningde, Fujian. The report shows that China's energy storage battery exports are growing rapidly, and the industry is transforming from pure product exports to a global and in-depth operation model of localized manufacturing, green supply chain and "whole-site delivery".
China's first full-chain green low-carbon ethylene project - PetroChina Dushanzi Petrochemical Tarim's 1.2 million tons/year second phase ethylene and supporting green low-carbon demonstration projects were fully put into commercial operation on the 15th, marking the establishment of long-term stable operation capabilities of the 3 million tons ethylene industry in Xinjiang by PetroChina.
