Being the world's longest-running open pit uranium mine, the Rossing business has produced the most uranium of any single mine since it became operational in 1976, exporting uranium oxide from Namibia to nuclear power utilities around the world.

Electricity generated by clean energy from CGN increased 20 percent to 211.9 billion kilowatt-hours in 2017, the equivalent of 66.13 million tons of standard coal, thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 160 million tons, and nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions each by 320,000 tons, it said.

The Namibian Husab Uranium Mine operated by China's State-owned China General Nuclear Power Corp had produced over 1,000 metric tons of uranium oxide in 2017.

The company said the mine will produce 6,500 tons of uranium oxide within a few years.

"The mine produced the first drum of uranium oxide on Dec 30, 2016.

Electricity generated by clean energy from CGN increased 20 percent to 211.9 billion kilowatt hours in 2017, the equivalent of 66.13 million tons of standard coal, thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 160 million tons, and nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions each by 320,000 tons, it said.

The average price of intermediate material alumina, the oxide of aluminum, reached 2,682 yuan per ton, up 45 percent year-on-year.

Volvo, which is owned by China's Geely, will not develop any new diesel cars because the cost of reducing nitrogen oxide emissions is too great, according to the company's chief executive.

While diesel cars produce less carbon dioxide than petrol cars, they create far more nitrogen oxide, which is damaging to health.

China has instructed exporters to provide transaction reports for strategically vital rare earth metals and oxide products, according to an online notice posted on the website of the Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday.

Han Xiaomin, general manager of JW Insights, a Chinese semiconductor market research company, said that gallium oxide is among the materials on which China has imposed export restrictions.

In August 2022, the United States Department of Commerce announced export controls on gallium oxide and diamond, because "devices that utilize these materials have significantly increased military potential".

"Washington has already restricted the export of gallium oxide, why can't China? "

Export of other industrial materials such as gallium nitride, gallium oxide and zone-refined germanium ingot have also been prohibited.

As a result, the scale of development and utilization of renewable energy in the country was equivalent to 753 million metric tons of standard coal last year, reducing 2.07 billion tons of carbon dioxide, 400,000 tons of sulfur dioxide and 450,000 tons of nitrogen oxide.

For nitrogen oxide emissions control, we have low NOx burners, whereas sulfur dioxide emissions are controlled by a flue-gas desulfurization system," Hassan said.

The project can also reduce emissions of ash and nitrogen oxide by 30,000 tons and 137.05 tons, respectively, per year.

Additionally, there should be a reduction of over 10 percent in both nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds emissions compared to levels recorded in 2020.

The Tangshan Port Economic Development Zone in North China's Hebei province announced that it will put into operation a production line for ultrahigh purity magnesium oxide by the end of 2022 to boost green and high-quality development in the country's Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Traditionally, magnesium oxide is produced by the calcination of magnesium hydroxide or mineral magnesite.

Huang Yugang, director of the executive committee of the Tangshan Port Economic Development Zone, said as a refractory material, high-purity magnesium oxide can be widely used in the production of functional materials for refined steel.

Since the conversion between magnesium and magnesium oxide is reversible, it can be used as an energy carrier to replace the carbon cycle and become a long-term energy storage resource, said Dong Mingming, a professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering of Beijing Institute of Technology.

This use of nuclear energy for heating is expected to reduce the burning of 23,200 metric tons of coal annually, cut soot emissions by 222 tons, sulfur dioxide by 382 tons, nitric oxide by 362 tons and of carbon dioxide by 60,000 tons, said the company.

Now production is efficient, said Aleksandar Milic, technical director of the plant, adding that in controlling emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and dust, the facility meets or even exceeds EU standards.

The power transmitted to the southern part of Anhui province is equivalent to the energy produced by about 16 million tons of standard coal, cutting emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide by 43.2 million tons, 136,000 tons and 118,400 tons, respectively, according to the State Grid's Xinjiang branch.

China's demand for bauxite was buoyed by a surging need for aluminum oxide, said Cheng.

Aluminum oxide output in China surged to 71.8 million tons in 2018, from 7 million in 2004.

"Aluminum production in Guizhou was also challenged as aluminum oxide and electrolytic aluminum, two major aluminum products, still have a relatively low market share compared with other competitors," Cheng explained.

This will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 38.28 million tons, sulfur dioxide by 370,000 tons and nitric oxide by 240,000 tons, said CGN, one of China's biggest nuclear power operators.

Output of aluminum oxide posted slower growth in May, up 0.1 percent year-on-year, compared with 4.2 percent in April.

The commitment shall reduce 600,000 tons of sulfur oxide emissions, equivalent to shutting down over 64 million National IV Standard trucks for a year, it said.

That is the world's strictest, with sulfur dioxide discharged in gas waste less than 30 milligrams per cubic meter and nitrogen oxide less than 50 milligrams per cubic meter.

Among them, lithium-iron phosphate batteries are still mainly used for secondary utilization, while batteries such as ternary lithium batteries and lithium cobalt oxide batteries are disassembled and recycled.

According to official statistics, medium and heavy commercial vehicles account for 5 percent of the vehicle ownership in China, but their particulate and nitrogen oxide emissions account for 68 and 90 percent respectively in the country.

"Compared to the diesel bus, natural-gas buses can reduce the emission of particles by 80 percent and nitrogen oxide by 90 percent, according to the Chilean government.

Government pushes to make existing engines even cleanerBERLIN - German Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer announced on Friday that his government is preparing to unveil a new concept to lower nitrogen oxide emissions from vehicles affected by the "dieselgate" scandal.

The 55-year-old and another unnamed senior manager at the Volkswagen subsidiary are suspected of committing offenses of criminal fraud and "indirect false certification" in the marketing of diesel vehicles which were fitted with defeat devices to understate their actual Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions.

The Audi CEO and another unnamed senior manager at the company are both suspected of committing fraud and "indirect false certification" in the European marketing of diesel vehicles, which were fitted with illicit defeat devices to understate their actual Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions.

Both stand accused of criminal fraud and "indirect false certification" in the European marketing of diesel vehicles which had been fitted with illicit defeat devices to falsify Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emission levels in test settings.

The function served to understate the levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions produced by the affected vehicles of the latest 1.6-liter "Euro6" diesel motor type.

The move will limit harmful nitrogen oxide emissions.

The West Virginia University's Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines and Emissions stopped short of accusing Fiat Chrysler of emissions cheating, but said on-road tests of Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs and Ram 1500 pickups revealed nitrogen oxide levels at three to 20 times what is permitted by US clean-air rules.

Nitrogen oxide, or NOx, can cause smog and acid rain.

Similarly, prices of lithium cobalt oxide have implications for the automotive industry as the raw material is widely used in the production of batteries for new energy vehicles.
