MarineTraffic vessel-tracking data show LNG carrier "Disha" transited the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman on June 15. It is the first large energy transport ship to pass the strait since the U.S. and Iran reached an agreement.

China State Planner and other ministries ordered energy-saving and decarbonisation retrofits for in‑service coal‑fired units ≥300 MW. Required measures include through‑flow designs, high‑efficiency combustion, cold‑end optimisation, waste‑heat recovery and intelligent controls, and accelerated replacement of end‑use equipment (fans, heat pumps, boilers, turbines, transformers). Post‑retrofit target is a reduction in generation coal consumption of at least 5 g standard coal/kWh. The move implements the new‑generation coal upgrade special programme and requires upgrading fast‑ramping, deep‑modulation and wide‑load flexibility where applicable, while encouraging coal–renewables integration. In winter centralized‑heating areas, CHP units should pursue heat–power decoupling with post‑upgrade minimum‑load depth targeted below 40%. Units that qualify are encouraged to adopt low‑carbon measures — coupling with renewables, biomass co‑firing, adding electrical/thermal storage — targeting a 10–20% cut in carbon emissions per kWh, with >20% reductions sought where feasible.

UK government will consider imposing a night-time curfew and an infinite-scroll pause for social media users under 18; further details are due in July.
