JINCHANG, China, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 17, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company launched a special maintenance campaign for video monitoring devices. By adopting a combined strategy of “precision maintenance + scientific supplementary installation”, the company has fully activated the efficiency of the visual monitoring system and built a solid intelligent protection barrier for power transmission corridors.

As the “aorta” of the power grid, transmission lines often span complex terrains such as mountains and valleys, with some sections located in micro-meteorological areas. Traditional manual inspection is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to supervision blind spots in severe weather. Since the first batch of video monitoring devices was put into operation, these 24/7 “Sky Sentinels” have become a core force in preventing wildfires and external damage. However, due to long-term exposure to outdoor environments, they have gradually developed “health risks” such as lens contamination, communication interruptions, and component aging; in addition, there are still monitoring gaps in some important crossing areas, which restricts the full release of intelligent operation and maintenance efficiency. This special campaign has established a “full-lifecycle management and control” system. In the equipment maintenance phase, technicians carry professional testing instruments to conduct a “carpet-style inspection”, focusing on checking key indicators such as power supply stability and data transmission quality, and replacing aging components “on the spot upon detection” to ensure a 100% defect handling rate for the equipment; in the supplementary installation and optimization phase, staff accurately identify accident-prone sections and crossing areas based on historical fault data and line risk maps, and adopt a new generation of monitoring equipment with AI intelligent recognition functions to realize automatic capture of hidden dangers and real-time alarms.

State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company will incorporate the operation and maintenance of video monitoring devices into the standardized management system, and plans to complete equipment renovation and system upgrading for all lines under its jurisdiction by the end of this year. By integrating monitoring data with AI analysis algorithms, the company strives to achieve a transformation from “passive response” to “proactive early warning”, promoting the operation and maintenance of transmission lines to truly enter a new stage of “lean management” and providing solid support for the safe and stable operation of the regional power grid.

BEIJING, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rushan, a county-level city in Weihai, east China’s Shandong Province, completed a 1,500-ton oyster carbon sink transaction in August 2025, which is the first of its kind in the province, providing a practical case for green finance.

Rushan has 600,000 mu (40,000 hectares) of oyster farming areas, with an annual output of 500,000 tonnes. Oysters absorb carbon dioxide from seawater during growth and store it in their calcium carbonate shells, thus serving as a carbon sink. It is estimated that oyster farming in Rushan generates about 599,000 tonnes of carbon sinks annually, demonstrating substantial ecological value, according to an official from Rushan Finance Bureau.

Besides, to realize the value of carbon sinks, Rushan launched a collaborative methodology study in August 2024 with a research team from the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute. The study precisely calculated carbon dioxide emission reductions from oyster farming over the past three years, addressing the key challenge of measuring carbon sinks.

Moreover, Rushan has leveraged an online green finance platform to enable efficient registration and transaction matching for carbon sink information. Rushan Haili Wind Power Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. has participated in the transaction. Purchasing oyster carbon sinks aligns with the company’s mission of contributing to China’s dual-carbon goals, and is part of its efforts to offset corporate emissions, said a representative of the company.

Weihai has continued to drive green finance innovation in recent years, rolling out China’s first marine carbon sink loan and the first fishery shellfish carbon sink index insurance. Rushan is now working with financial institutions to advance innovation in financial products based on oyster carbon sink.

BEIJING, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Donggang District Marine Development Bureau in east China’s Shandong Province has successfully worked out innovative approaches of hatching and breeding fish and seahorse living in southern China in this district, pushing local fishery industry to transform towards high-quality, clustered, and smart development.

Introducing fine-quality pot-bellied seahorse fry from southeast China’s Fujian Province, Donggang District has carried out cooperation with institutions such as Fisheries Research Institute of Fujian since 2020 and successfully made breakthroughs in the core technologies for breeding and large-scale cultivation of the southern seahorses in the north district, boosting fry survival rates to over 90 percent.

At present, Donggang District’s 102,000-square-meter seahorse farming base has grown to the largest of its kind in China, producing over 100 million fry annually. In 2024, Donggang District’s dried pot-bellied seahorse output accounted for 37.5 percent of the total in China, earning it the title of “China’s Hometown of the Pot-bellied Seahorse”.

Meanwhile, Donggang District’s supply network for live seedlings has stretched from Liaoning in the north to Jiangsu in the south, reshaping the entire landscape of pot-bellied seahorse farming in northern China.

In 2025, the district brought together leading research institutions, such as the Ocean University of China, the Heilongjiang River Fisheries Research Institute, and the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute, to study on key technologies for standardized and large-scale salmon fry production.

“We have built a land-to-sea system for salmon farming with every single process controllable and traceable, said a staff member from the Donggang District Marine Development Bureau. The district has planned to build 3-5 hatchery and farming bases, aiming to produce 30 million fry annually by 2035.

In building a complete industrial chain for salmon industry, Donggang District has planned 12 key salmon projects covering all aspects of the industrial chain, including breeding, healthy aquaculture, advanced processing, cold-chain logistics, brand marketing, and cultural tourism and catering. It expects to bring the total output value of salmon industry to 10 billion yuan (about 1.4 billion U.S. dollars) by 2035.

By continuing advancing the dual-chain synergy of “one seahorse, one salmon”, strengthening technological innovation, and optimizing industrial layout, Donggang District aims to become a national hub for high-quality fishery innovation and make contribution to promoting high-quality development of the marine economy.
