China is advancing a $167 billion hydropower mega-project located at the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, aiming to enhance its energy self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on foreign energy sources. This engineering feat is considered a significant development in China's pursuit of carbon-free fuel alternatives, especially as green hydrogen projects in China and India gain importance amid challenges faced by similar initiatives in the West. However, the mega-dam faces stringent scrutiny regarding access to green financing and raises concerns among downstream nations about its environmental and geopolitical impacts. Meanwhile, Taiwan is focusing on clean energy to power its semiconductor industry, with investors showing increased interest in offshore wind projects. Additionally, China has unveiled a new cryogenic steel dubbed "Super Steel," which is expected to be a breakthrough material for fusion reactors.
