Envision and Fortescue Join Forces to Set New Benchmark for Renewable Energy Infrastructure in Australia

NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — During the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Fortescue, one of the world’s largest iron ore producers accelerating decarbonisation on a global scale, rapidly and profitably, officially announced a global alliance, aimed at accelerating the global industrial decarbonisation and building the lowest-cost, 24/7 clean energy systems capable of outcompeting fossil fuels.

As part of this ambitious vision, Fortescue has selected Envision Energy, a global leader in green technology, as its strategic partner in wind and energy storage. Leveraging Envision’s expertise in advanced wind turbines, integrated energy solutions, energy storage, and digital energy management, the partnership will deliver full-chain innovations spanning generation, storage, and grid optimisation, enabling Fortescue to electrify its operations, set a global benchmark for cost-effective, scalable decarbonisation to achieve its Real Zero target by 2030.


Building on this partnership, Envision Energy and Fortescue have also signed a 132 MW turbine supply agreement for Fortescue’s first major wind project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, marking a major step forward in Envision’s support of Fortescue’s elimination of fossil fuel use to achieve Real Zero terrestrial emissions (Scope 1 and 2) across its iron ore operations by 2030.

Envision will supply its state-of-the-art EN182-7.8MW turbines, known for their high efficiency and adaptability, paired with 188-metre Nabralift steel towers, the tallest of their kind worldwide. Designed to maximise energy production in low-wind conditions and withstand extreme weather including cyclones and typhoons, the project will be among Australia’s first large-scale deployments of this technology, setting a new benchmark for renewable infrastructure and unlocking greater generation capacity and efficiency to help achieve Real Zero.

“The challenge of climate change is global, but Australia’s energy transition can lead by example.” said Kane Xu, SVP and President of International Product Line of Envision Energy, “Australia’s abundant wind and solar resources, combined with cross-border collaboration and advanced technology, can create resilient, low-cost energy systems capable of fully replacing fossil fuels in industrial operations. Our partnership with Fortescue is set to deliver substantial advancements in renewable energy infrastructure, demonstrating how innovation and engineering can reshape the future of energy in hard-to-abate sectors, and setting new benchmarks toward a Real Zero future.”

“The Pilbara has some of the best wind and solar resources in the world. We’re harnessing these to power our operations with renewables – cutting emissions while building an energy system that is reliable and efficient for the long term.” said Dino Otranto, Fortescue Metals and Operations CEO. “By combining Envision’s world-leading wind turbine technology with Nabrawind’s innovative tower design, we can deliver large-scale renewable energy projects that help us move away from fossil fuels.” 

As part of its decarbonisation pathway, Fortescue plans to deploy 2-3GW of wind and solar energy generation supported by large-scale battery storage. This renewable power will be transmitted directly into Fortescue’s electrical network through dedicated transmission links.

Beyond its immediate impact in Australia, the collaboration reinforces both Envision and Fortescue’s positions as global leaders in building resilient, scalable, and sustainable energy systems. It also highlights the strategic role of innovation-driven partnerships in overcoming infrastructure and climate challenges. The project is set to become a model for how cutting-edge wind technology can be applied to support clean industrial growth in resource-intensive regions.

The KFC Food Bank program, originally launched in 2020 in Shenzhen, has earned wide public recognition, expanding to more than 1,000 stations in over 180 cities across China. The program provides free, surplus food still within shelf life to community members in need via stations located next to KFC stores.

Investors eye UAE as Belt and Road real estate gateway for Asia

BEIJING, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from China Daily

Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development, speaks at the forum.
Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development, speaks at the forum.

Countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, such as the United Arab Emirates, have emerged as promising prospects for both individual and institutional investors amid global economic uncertainties and the ongoing transition toward high-quality development in China’s real estate sector, according to industry experts.

These views were shared by senior executives and experts at the 2025 Middle East Property Investment Forum, hosted in Shanghai by China Real Estate Information Corp on Tuesday. The forum aimed to offer new perspectives for enterprises seeking transformation and market expansion, while also presenting fresh opportunities for individual overseas property purchases and investment.

Designed to serve as both a bridge and an experiment, the forum aligns with China’s call in its 2025 government work report to advance the Belt and Road Initiative more deeply, creating more opportunities for businesses and individuals.

“The global trade landscape is undergoing profound adjustments, with growing emphasis on regional trade, fair trade, green trade, and secure trade,” said Luo Changyuan, a professor at Fudan University’s School of Economics.

Luo noted that these trends closely align with cooperation priorities between China and Arab countries in areas such as energy, environmental protection, and industry and supply chains, creating a favorable macro environment for bilateral collaboration.

“There is a growing appetite from investors in China for Abu Dhabi. We see that opportunity increasing as we invest more time here and build brand awareness,” said Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development.

“With bilateral trade now approaching $100 billion, the scope for deeper cooperation is substantial. And it is not only in commerce, but also in investment, culture, tourism, and education where the ties between the UAE and China continue to grow stronger,” Emery said.

“Overseas property investment should concentrate on regional hub cities. In the Middle East, Dubai and Abu Dhabi stand out as the key destinations,” said Ding Zuyu, chairman of CRIC.

Ding pointed out that leading cities in mature markets, such as New York, London, and Singapore, have long been magnets for real estate investment. Similarly, as the UAE establishes itself as the region’s leader, its core cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi function not only as national centers, but also as financial and economic hubs for the wider Middle East.

At the event, CRIC released its 2025 H1 UAE Residential Market Trends Report, its second in-depth research publication on the UAE property sector this year following the launch of its UAE Real Estate Market White Paper in May.

The latest report focuses on the fundamentals of the UAE residential market, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi as the primary areas of analysis. Examining factors such as trade performance, urban planning, and real estate transaction patterns, the report aims to offer practical, data-driven insights for global investors, enterprises, and researchers.

It outlines three major strengths underpinning the UAE’s property market: steady economic growth, strong demographic momentum, and favorable policy support.

“In particular, China’s electric vehicles, solar power, and lithium batteries match the energy transition needs of Arab nations. Meanwhile, emerging new quality productive forces — including the digital economy and artificial intelligence — are expected to drive deeper digital cooperation, while new corridors of trade and investment, facilitated through third countries, offer pathways to overcome certain international circulation barriers,” Luo noted.

Specifically, in Abu Dhabi, the population reached 4.14 million in 2024, surpassing Dubai to become the country’s most populous emirate. In the first half of 2025, residential transactions in Abu Dhabi totaled 21.85 billion dirhams ($5.95 billion), up 30 percent year-on-year, with average home prices rising 17 percent to 3.3 million dirhams per unit.

Dubai, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing real estate markets, recording 98,726 transactions in the first half of 2025, a 22 percent increase year-on-year. The total value of transactions jumped 40 percent to 326.9 billion dirhams, while luxury property rental yields reached 5.3 percent in 2024, ranking second globally.

This overall momentum is being strongly felt in the real estate market. As the capital’s largest developer, investor, and manager, Aldar’s figures illustrate the trend clearly: in 2024, overseas and expatriate buyers accounted for 78 percent of its UAE sales, up from just 21 percent in 2021.

“A major part of this growth is coming from China. Over the past three years, purchases by our Chinese customers have increased almost three-fold, already surpassing $690 million this year with the final quarter still to come,” Emery said in his keynote speech on building bridges between the UAE and China through cross-border real estate.

According to him, the combined investment of $700 million made by Chinese investors in the UAE to date this year comes from both individuals and institutions.

“We hope to grow this opportunity as we invest time in communication and work with partners,” Emery said.

Nevertheless, experts also cautioned that investors should closely monitor the sustainability of economic, demographic, and policy trends in the UAE, while remaining alert to geopolitical risks in the wider Middle East.

“Among the 152 countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, I view Southeast Asia and the emerging Middle East markets most favorably,” said Li Lan, general manager of Shanghai Construction Group’s overseas business management division.

Li shared the globalization experience of Shanghai Construction Group, which currently has 53 ongoing projects across 26 countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, spanning Southeast Asia, Africa, and other regions.

“When Chinese companies expand overseas, several factors should be considered. First, such ventures need to align with national strategies, ensuring that policies and development plans between the two countries are compatible. For example, the Belt and Road Initiative should be coordinated with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 economic diversification strategy to secure a strong foundation for future growth,” Li explained.

“Second, attention should be paid to the development prospects of the target country or region, such as the presence of major cultural or public events, which can help ensure sufficient construction demand for building companies.

“Third and finally, a coordinated approach along the entire industry chain is ideal. Forums like today’s, which bring together investors, developers, contractors, and suppliers on a single platform, demonstrate that having the right people, at the right time, in the right place, is crucial for fostering connections and collaboration based on past overseas experiences,” Li added.

Titomic Appoints Aude Vignelles as President of Asia-Pacific Region

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT), a global leader in Titomic Kinetic Fusion™, a cold spray additive manufacturing technology, is pleased to announce the appointment of Aude Vignelles as President of the Asia-Pacific Region (APAC), based in Melbourne. Ms. Vignelles brings an exceptional track record in aerospace, space, telecommunications, and advanced technology sectors, further strengthening Titomic’s executive leadership during a pivotal period of regional growth and transformation.

Aude Vignelles is the former Chief Technology Officer of the Australian Space Agency, where she led the development of Australia’s Civil Space Strategy Technical Roadmaps, scoped and managed the Agency’s national programs, and delivered international engagements across the space ecosystem. Her leadership played a crucial role in shaping the direction of Australia’s civil space capabilities and fostering global partnerships.

“Aude is a visionary technology leader with a rare blend of strategic insight, engineering depth, and cross-sector experience,” said Jim Simpson, CEO and Managing Director of Titomic. “Her appointment reinforces Titomic’s commitment to the Australian industrial base and our ambition to lead in aerospace, defense, and energy markets across the Asia-Pacific region.”

Ms. Vignelles began her career at the European Space Agency (ESA) in the Netherlands, supporting scientific missions including Rosetta and later serving as Test Manager for the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM)—the largest scientific space program ever undertaken by ESA at the time. She then held executive roles in the broadcast and telecommunications sectors, including leadership at ONdigital, Foxtel, Austar, and as Vice President of Technicolor APAC.

Prior to joining Titomic, she also served as Executive Manager of Satellite & Fixed Wireless Operations at nbn, Australia’s national broadband network provider. Her background in engineering, program delivery, and public-private sector engagement positions her uniquely to drive Titomic’s mission in the region.

Titomic is currently expanding its Australian operations as part of a broader transformation, including increased investments in defense and aerospace through partnerships with industry leaders, new business development strategies, and operational enhancements driven by internal promotion and external advisory support.

“I am thrilled to join Titomic at such an exciting inflection point,” said Aude Vignelles. “The company’s Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing technology has tremendous potential to revolutionize how we manufacture, repair, and sustain high-performance parts in critical industries. I look forward to working with the team to accelerate growth, deepen customer engagement, and deliver real industrial impact across the region.”
