International Geothermal Standard Committee Launched in Beijing with Permanent Secretariat at Sinopec

BEIJING, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Geothermal Standard Committee ("IGSC") was officially established on November 26 in Beijing, with its permanent Secretariat hosted by China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (HKG: 0386, "Sinopec"), marking a historic milestone in global geothermal standardization.

International Geothermal Standard Committee Launched in Beijing with Permanent Secretariat at Sinopec.

Initiated by the International Geothermal Association (IGA), the IGSC brings together 30 leading experts from 15 countries as its inaugural committee members. The committee will lead the development and promotion of unified international geothermal standards, accelerate technology deployment, and ensure the healthy, sustainable growth of the global geothermal industry chain.

"As the world undergoes a profound energy transition, geothermal energy – abundant, stable, clean and low-carbon – is emerging as a strategic cornerstone of the future energy mix. Unified and mutually recognized standards are the foundation for lowering international cooperation barriers, speeding up technology transfer, and securing a resilient global geothermal supply chain," commented Mr. Niu Shuanwen, Senior Vice President of Sinopec. "Sinopec will spare no effort in supporting the IGSC and translating global consensus into actionable standards that drive real impact."

During the meeting, members unanimously adopted the IGSC Standard Development Procedures and the 2025–2027 Work Program. Going forward, the committee will systematically advance a comprehensive geothermal standard system covering the full industry chain, including resource exploration and evaluation, reservoir engineering, drilling and completion, district heating, power generation, and shallow geothermal systems, with a focus on processes, methods, equipment, and materials.

"With geothermal energy playing an increasingly vital role in the global energy landscape, the industry is experiencing unprecedented growth momentum. The establishment of the IGSC transforms a long-standing industry consensus into urgent action," remarked Mr. Bjarni Pálsson, President of the International Geothermal Association. "By pooling worldwide expertise in an open and inclusive manner, we will deliver authoritative international standards and guidelines, laying a solid foundation for large-scale, efficient geothermal development and contributing meaningfully to global climate goals."

Sinopec, China's largest developer and operator of mid- and deep-geothermal energy, currently provides geothermal heating for 126 million square meters of building area, replacing the equivalent of nearly 6.2 million tons of CO₂ emissions annually. Sinopec has drafted over 50% of China's national geothermal standards and led the country's first IGA international standard. Its landmark "smoke-free city" geothermal heating project in Xiongxian County, Hebei Province, has been included in the global promotion catalogue of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

CLSA Elevates AMD (AMD.US) TP to US$230, Keeps Rating at Hold

AMD (AMD.US) entered into a major 6GW chip deal with OpenAI, CLSA released a research report saying. If this transaction is successfully executed, it will provide a 21-48% upside to the broker's 2026-2027 revenue forecasts for AMD.

However, market discussions have shifted further ahead, focusing on the direct competition between NVIDIA GPU vs Google TPU, where AMD's position and right of speech are at risk of being marginalized, leading to a situation of high dependence on OpenAI orders. Unless new significant customer commitments emerge, it will be difficult to change the current situation in the short term.

CLSA expected that, at least until 2028, OpenAI will continue to contribute one-third or more of AMD's GPU revenue. Given that the current share price has fully reflected optimistic expectations, the broker kept rating at Hold for AMD, and elevated its target price from US$180 to US$230.

The launch event took place online and offline simultaneously across three locations in both countries. Representatives of the Thar Block-I integrated coal mine and power project ("Thar Project"), and Shanghai Dianji University signed a cooperation agreement for the Phase I training program, marking the official implementation of the talent cultivation initiative.

Zhu Zhaokai, President of Shanghai Electric Group, remarked that against the backdrop of profound adjustments in the global industrial landscape, there is a growing urgency for enterprises to seek versatile talents equipped with theoretical foundations, engineering practices, international perspectives, and cross-cultural collaboration capabilities.

"The establishment of the Academy is a significant initiative by Shanghai Electric to promote the deep integration of 'industry-academia-research-application' and to build an international talent cultivation system," he said. "Leveraging the academic strengths of Shanghai Dianji University in advanced manufacturing, we will deepen collaborative research, practical teaching, and faculty sharing, working together to create a new model for cultivating international talents under the 'Belt and Road' Initiative."

Gong Siyi, President of Shanghai Dianji University, expressed that the Academy, as a key overseas demonstration project, will be a priority. By integrating high-quality faculty and educational resources, the university is committed to maintaining high standards in talent development systems, teaching quality, and overall service support.

"The goal is to establish the Academy as a vital bridge for China-Pakistan friendship and technological cooperation," she noted.

As the first enterprise-led international engineering talent program under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework, the Academy will offer tailored master's programs aligned with the Thar Project needs, focusing on energy and electrical engineering. Through dual mentorships pairing professors and industry experts, it will equip trainees to address real-world challenges by integrating theory with practice.

In recent years, Shanghai Electric has prioritized systematic talent cultivation and strategic planning in building the Academy, deepening industry–academia collaboration to foster an innovation ecosystem focused on globalization and advanced technological integration.

As a joint industry-education talent development platform established by Shanghai Electric Group and Shanghai Dianji University, the Shanghai Electric Academy of Excellence for Engineers has, since its inauguration in 2024, focused on empowering technological experts and cultivating high-caliber professionals. The Institute is committed to building a strong pipeline of future technology leaders.

As the Academy's first flagship initiative, the Tech Expert Symposium serves as a premium forum for leading experts and scholars to promote knowledge sharing, technical collaboration, and talent development. Since its launch, it has held five sessions featuring cutting-edge technological trends and practical engineering insights.

Behind Shanghai Electric's proactive talent strategy is a strong commitment to technological advancement and human capital during this period of rapid transformation. In the first half of 2025 alone, the company invested 2.546 billion CNY in R&D—a 9.4% year‑on‑year increase, equal to 4.7% of total revenue—with 39.5% of funding directed to emerging sectors.

To sustain accelerated innovation, Shanghai Electric has positioned and will keep positioning talent as its foremost strategic resource, reforming its development system to build a strong, well‑structured team.

Vietnam remains Mixue's third-largest market worldwide and a key driver of the brand's global growth. At the conference, Mixue Vietnam presented its latest operating results, product strategy, and supply-chain capabilities while unveiling a proactive strategic upgrade that shifts the brand from rapid density-focused expansion to a "mature expansion phase" centered on refined operations, enhanced consumer experience, and sustainable profitability.

A cornerstone of this transformation is the accelerated transition from the traditional "small-store model" to a new "large-store model." New and renovated stores feature spacious open bar counters, clearer customer flow, modern urban façades, and significantly larger floor areas. In major cities such as Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, and Da Nang, these upgraded flagship stores have quickly become social media hotspots among young Vietnamese consumers, reinforcing the company's positioning as a trendy yet affordable lifestyle brand.

Furthermore, Mixue is pursuing proactive structural upgrades aimed at cementing the brand's long-term foundation in the Vietnamese market. The company is strategically reallocating resources toward prime locations and more efficient store formats. This approach not only enhances the sustained profitability of its franchise investors and partners but also establishes a more resilient platform for future growth. By relocating stores to high-potential areas, Mixue has enabled 125 stores to achieve daily sales increases exceeding 50%, a clear testament to the effectiveness of this strategy.

The 93 new stores signed during the two conferences will cover northern, central, and southern Vietnam, demonstrating that franchisees continue to place high confidence in Mixue's controllable investment costs, transparent return cycles, and proven brand stability.

Through store image renewal, elevated in-store experiences, and accelerated operational standardization, Mixue Vietnam will enter a new stage of high-quality development in Vietnam, creating greater long-term value for franchise partners, employees, and millions of Vietnamese consumers.
