      Construction of LNG tank group with world's largest single-tank capacity completed in Guangdong

      A group of liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks, boasting the world's largest single-tank capacity, was completed in Zhuhai City, south China’s Guangdong Province, on Friday, significantly boosting the region's ability to ensure stable natural gas supply in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

      After 37 months of construction, the five LNG storage tanks, towering as tall as five 20-story buildings and each spanning nearly 100 meters in diameter, have been finished. With a capacity of storing up to 270,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas each, the storage tanks will undergo a debugging phase before being put into use.

      The five tanks represent the second phase of the Jinwan "Green Energy Port" project developed by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). The project’s first phase came into service in 2013 and consists of three LNG storage tanks, each with a storage capacity of 160,000 cubic meters.

      With a combined storage capacity of 1.83 million cubic meters, the Jinwan "Green Energy Port" project is emerging as the largest natural gas storage and transportation hub in southern China, greatly enhancing the region's ability to ensure a stable natural gas supply in the Greater Bay Area.

      "Once the project is fully operational, it will work alongside offshore gas fields like Liwan 3-1, Huizhou 21-1, and Panyu 30-1 to supply gas to cities including Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and Jiangmen, ensuring energy security for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and south China," said Shen Bairen, project manager of the second phase.

      The completion of the second phase of the project will increase the annual LNG processing capacity of the Jinwan "Green Energy Port" to 7 million tons, equivalent to 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas. This capacity can meet the annual domestic gas needs of 30 million households and generate 50 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

      China-Germany relations help stabilize Sino-EU relations: Chinese FM

      2025-02-15 21:26 Last Updated At:22:07

      The sound development momentum of China-Germany relations has always been a stabilizing factor in China-EU relations, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Munich, Germany on Friday.

      Wang made the remarks during a meeting with German Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.

      Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, stated that multipolarity is an inevitable trend in history.

      In the face of rising protectionism, the resurgence of Cold War mentality, and rising unilateral and bullying practices, China is ready to work with Germany and other countries to enhance communication and coordination, build broad consensus, and present a unified voice in safeguarding international peace and stability, said Wang.

      Wang expressed his belief that Germany will play an important role in advancing the process toward a multipolar world.

      Noting that German will hold federal election, Wang said that China follows the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. China values the mutually beneficial cooperation with Germany and is willing to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with the new German government, with an aim to inject fresh momentum into the development of bilateral ties, he said.

      Wang further noted that China is firmly committed to the path of green transition and sustainable development, and is willing to strengthen cooperation with Germany to jointly tackle global challenges such as climate change.

      Baerbock said that Germany attaches great importance to exchanges and cooperation with China in various fields and is ready to foster more convergence of interests with China and make the two countries reliable partners to each other.

      Germany adheres to the one-China principle and is willing to strengthen candid communication, deepen dialogue, and enhance cooperation with China, said Baerbock.

      The two sides also exchanged their views on the Ukraine crisis and other issues.
