Norway to partner with Vietnam to "awaken" offshore wind power potential
Norwegian Ambassador to Vietnam Grete Løchen and Commercial Counsellor Arne-Kjetil Lian recently have handed over the 'Vietnam Supply Chain Study Report' to Vietnamese Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien.
The 70-page-long Report provides an overview of the entire supply chain for Vietnam’s offshore wind industry including key players, current status, advantages and remaining gaps, with recommendations on what Vietnam can prioritize in intervention to stimulate the growth of a strong, local supply chain, and thereby create more skilled jobs, and export to other offshore wind markets. The Report also highlights opportunities that offshore wind brings to Vietnamese suppliers and identifies areas that Norwegian and foreign companies can work with Vietnamese partners to build offshore wind projects, generate power at lower costs, and gradually make renewable energy affordable for all.

Is The U.S. Energy Independent?
The first thing I ask when someone poses this question is “How are you defining energy independence?” In reality, most people are using it incorrectly. A correct accounting would be to add up all of our energy production (oil, natural gas, coal, renewables) and then subtract our net energy consumption.
So, in 2009 we began the march to energy independence. Those wishing to credit President Trump for this need to take another look at that net imports graphic to grasp the full picture.
Chinese Billionaires Getting Richer With Clean Energy Businesses
Even more dramatic than gains among auto makers have been gains in battery manufacturers that serve a wide number of different EV customers. Four list members – including Robin Zeng, China’s richest billionaire in green tech — made their fortunes in Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), the world’s largest supplier of batteries for electric vehicles for such customers as BMW and Volkswagen. Zeng, its chairman, ranks third among China’s richest with a net worth that more than doubled to $50.8 billion from a year ago; he also boasts the second-biggest wealth increase on this year’s list. The other three who got rich from CATL are co-vice chairman Huang Shilin (No. 15, $22.9 billion) CATL investor Pei Zhenhua (No. 32 $14.7 billion) and Co-vice chairman Li Ping (No. 52 $10.2 billion). Combined, the four own nearly half of CATL.
India criticised over coal at Cop26 – but real villain was climate injustice
Among many climate experts, the consensus was that India was not the villain it was being portrayed as. Many said the criticism of India’s position highlights how the issues of climate injustice are still rife, with developing countries expected to meet the same commitments as wealthy developed countries, who have historically emitted the most and also have access to vast financial resources and alternatives such as natural gas.
Ulka Kelkar, the director of climate at the World Resources Institute in India, said: “India’s intervention reflects its lack of choices – the country does not have significant oil and gas reserves and spends more than $100bn (£75bn) each year to import these, and nuclear power accounts for less than 2% of its electricity capacity.”
