Construction has begun at Shengli Oilfield on China’s first million-ton-scale low-concentration CO2 capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) full-chain demonstration project. Once completed it will capture low-concentration flue gas from coal-fired power plants and route all CO2 to the oilfield for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and permanent storage, offering a test case for large-scale decarbonization of coal power.

German Chancellor MERZ said it would be understandable if Ukraine struck targets inside Russia that impede Russia's ability to conduct military operations, including communications and energy infrastructure.

A drone struck an industrial site in the Surgut area of western Siberia in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, causing a fire, governor Ruslan Kukharuk said. Emergency crews are on site and experts are assessing the scale and nature of the damage; the targeted facility was not identified. Surgut, more than 2,130 km northeast of Moscow, hosts multiple oil and gas installations; it is unclear whether production or refining has been affected. The attack occurred after Ukrainian President Zelenskiy ordered a resumption of strikes on Russian refineries and ended a three-day pause in attacks; US President Trump has recently limited intelligence support to Ukraine.
