The 2025 World Environment Expo was grandly held at Shanghai National Exhibition and Conve......

Co-organised by authoritative organisations and Shanghai Horui Exhibition and certified by UFI, the exhibition with over 4,000 companies and a 260,000-square-metre area is a world environmental expo platform for energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon environmental protection, aiming to offer systematic green solutions. It will set up two theme sections to show pollution prevention and control, environmental monitoring and key green manufacturing transformation technologies. Adhering to the concept of green and intelligent buildings, it will also demonstrate the building comfort system. Its products and solutions cover industry and construction and are used in various social fields. Thus, it has become an important hub for the green economy industrial chain and an accelerator for China to achieve dual carbon goals and establish a green, low-carbon and circular economy system.

UNCTAD: Global FDI to fall by 8% in 2024.

The UNCTAD's Global Investment Trends Monitor report shows FDI is at a crossroads. In 2024, global FDI grew 11% to about £1.4 trillion but fell 8% excluding flows through European transit economies. Advanced economies had stark contrasts: FDI in North America rose 13% due to US M&A growth and greenfield project surges, while Europe faced a sharp decline with many EU countries seeing drops. Among developing economies, FDI fell 2% for the second - consecutive year, threatening SDG progress. Asia's FDI inflows dropped 7%, with China down 29% and India up 13%. In Latin America and the Caribbean, FDI fell 9%, but some countries saw greenfield project growth. Africa stood out with an 84% surge. Looking ahead to 2025, FDI is expected to grow modestly, but risks like geopolitical tensions and economic instability remain challenges.

A brief talk about the internal combustion engine

Today's engines are mainly internal combustion models that convert fuel combustion thermal energy into mechanical energy. The internal combustion engine is widely used due to its small size and weight, strong and stable power, and good economy after improvement. However, it has disadvantages such as a precise and complex structure, high failure probability, and environmental pollution. Before the internal combustion engine, the steam engine was widely used but had problems like a huge mechanism and low thermal efficiency. Over the past 100 years, various internal combustion engines have been invented, with different piston movement modes, fuel uses, ignition modes, and cylinder arrangements. The supercharged engine is becoming more widespread. The main internal structure of the internal combustion engine includes the crank connecting rod mechanism, gas distribution mechanism, fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system. The power of the engine comes from the piston's reciprocating motion, and in a four - stroke engine, only the power stroke generates power. The internal combustion engine has been used for over 100 years, promoting equipment mechanization, automation, and the development of vehicle and ship power devices, and changing the way humans use and convert energy.

Global Seaborne Trade Is Recovering, But There Are Still Many Challenges

The United Nations Trade and Development Organization's 2024 Maritime Review report released on Tuesday showed that global maritime trade grew by 2.4% in 2023, recovering from the contraction in 2022. However, despite the signs of recovery, the future growth of maritime transport remains fragile and there are still many risks and uncertainties.

Regarding the composition of engine oil formula and the role of viscosity index improver

Generally speaking, different grades of internal combustion engine engine oils are formulated by combining agents to achieve the corresponding specification grades, suitable base oils, viscosity index improver and other auxiliary additives.

United Nations Trade and Development Organization: Global trade trends improved in the fir......

UNCTAD's forecast report notes that trade in goods is expected to increase by about $250 billion in the first half of 2024 and $100 billion in services compared to the second half of 2023, driven by strong trade dynamics in United States and developing countries, especially large developing economies in Asia.
