The IAEA said last week that Iran has transformed its Fordo uranium enrichment plant, located south of Tehran, which will "significantly increase the production speed of uranium with an abundance of 60%", which is close to 90% needed to make nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency called on Iran to carry out inspections urgently, while European powers urged Tehran to "immediately stop its nuclear upgrade".Minsheng Bank: New Hope Chemical was approved to increase its shareholding by no more than 68 million shares.

The IEA said on Friday that shale drilling technology, which has led to a sharp increase in oil and gas production, has also stimulated the development of geothermal energy. In theory, geothermal energy can provide a stable power source equivalent to the total demand of India and the United States. Fatih Birol, director of the International Energy Agency, said after the agency released its first report on geothermal energy that geothermal energy is suitable for providing a large amount of stable energy for data centers. Birol said: "One of the demands for geothermal energy is the demand for electricity in data centers. The demand for data centers in the United States is great, and they need all-weather electricity, which makes geothermal very suitable. " Birol said that unlike renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy, geothermal energy can be a sustainable energy source, but it is still in its infancy and needs a lot of investment and support from the government. The incoming Trump administration said it would promote more oil and gas drilling and hoped to reduce the green energy plan, but Birol saw no reason not to increase the use of geothermal energy. According to the data of the International Energy Agency, by 2050, the global geothermal heating may increase to 800 GW, accounting for 15% of the global demand growth, and the annual output is equivalent to the current total demand of the United States and India. According to the report of the International Energy Agency, global investment will exceed $1 trillion by 2035 and $2.8 trillion by 2050, of which about 75% will be invested in power generation facilities.Azure lithium battery: Robot/dog is the application field of lithium battery that the company pays close attention to.
