The Fuling shale gas field in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality has produced over 70 billion cubic meters of shale gas, reducing annual carbon emissions by 12 million tonnes, which is an equivalent of planting 110 million trees.
Started operation in 2014, the Fuling shale gas field is China's sixth largest natural gas field, with its daily production reaching 20 million cubic meters. As an important gas source in the West-to-East Gas Transmission pipeline project, the gas field supplies natural gas to more than 70 cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt. According to China Sinopec, the total production of the gas field has exceeded 70 billion cubic meters.
As a major source of natural gas, the Fuling shale gas field is also considered a model for green energy development. Its operations are estimated to reduce carbon emissions by 12 million tonnes annually, equaling planting 110 million trees.

The Peruvian capital of Lima will soon see the completion of a major flood control project built by a Chinese company.
It does not rain frequently in Lima, but the Huaycoloro River overflowed in 2017 due to unusual heavy precipitation, affecting 30,000 families living along the river.
The 10.5-kilometer flood control project built by China International Water and Electric Corp. is set to be completed in January 2025.
"Extreme weather like El Nino can lead to flash floods and other natural disasters, So, such a project was launched," said Liu Hongmin, project manager with China International Water and Electric Corp.
The company has completed nearly 20 projects in Peru in fields including hydropower, flood control, road, bridge, power transmission and mining.
Peru is hosting APEC 2024, with the APEC Economic Leaders' Week underway in Lima.
