Envision launches world's largest green hydrogen, ammonia plant in Inner Mongolia
The Shanghai-headquartered company launched the first phase of the project in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, on Wednesday, which is capable of producing 320,000 tonnes per year of green ammonia, Envision said.
'This is more than a technological milestone,' said Zhang Lei, Envision's founder and CEO. 'Scalable, green alternatives are now real and operational. We can't get to net zero without green hydrogen, and we can't afford to wait. This is the blueprint for a clean energy future.'
The company said exports would start in the fourth quarter, adding that the project would continue to be scaled up to produce 1.5 million tonnes of green ammonia per year by 2028.

Trump's order to end ‘de minimis' tariff break expands from China to rest of the world
Washington's decision to suspend the 'de minimis' tariff exemption for all countries – expanding on an earlier move that targeted Chinese shipments – is set to disrupt and ultimately reshape the global cross-border e-commerce sector, analysts said. The White House announced the order on Wednesday as part of efforts to close loopholes used to evade tariffs and smuggle 'deadly synthetic opioids as well as other unsafe or below-market products' into the United States. It will come into effect on August 29. In May, the US eliminated the exemption – which had allowed small packages worth less than US$800 to enter the country duty-free – for goods from China . The move aimed to close what many considered a regulatory loophole exploited by Chinese platforms like Temu and Shein to rapidly scale their businesses. Experts said the latest action marked a return to trade normalcy and left Chinese exporters with limited options: either compete in an already saturated domestic market, or battle fellow Chinese sellers abroad. 'Before, they could source from other countries to get around rules — that's no longer viable, as the pathways to the US market are all blocked,' said Zhuang Bo, global macro strategist at Loomis Sayles Investment Asia, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers.

Hong Kong crypto exchange OSL sees optimism rise as city enters stablecoin era
That assessment was made by Gary Tiu, executive director and head of regulatory affairs at OSL, at a symposium on Thursday about Hong Kong's stablecoin era. 'We will continue to build ecosystems and networks in this space,' Tiu said. 'We are the long-term partner for this space.' Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency token that maintain a fixed value by being pegged to a reference asset, typically fiat currencies such as the US dollar. Heightened market anticipation around stablecoins was reflected in OSL's sale of existing shares, top-up subscriptions and new shares last Friday, when it raised HK$2.36 billion (US$300 million).
