Backed by state-of-the-art equipment, biogas derived from poultry waste provided by C.P. Group’s farms is used to produce the bio-hydrogen. This collaborative effort demonstrates C.P. Group and Toyota/CJPT’s commitment to innovation and dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As part of this initiative, Toyota has also established Thailand’s first Biogas-Derived Hydrogen Production Equipment at its Asia headquarters in Samut Prakan province, south of Bangkok.

To showcase the potential of bio-hydrogen as a clean energy source, the team will now embark on its next phase to trial the fuel for long-haul transportation. This trial will test the viability and performance of bio-hydrogen as an alternative energy source for the transportation sector. Together, the companies hope to eventually adopt bio-hydrogen for C.P. Group’s long-haul logistics, including the powering of delivery trucks for parts of its operations in Thailand.

Speaking at the Thailand Pavilion at the COP28 UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai, C.P. Group Chairman Soopakij Chearavanont shared, "We are all in a race against climate change. COP28 presents a great opportunity for us all to come together, share ideas, and find innovative solutions. It is a privilege to unite with Toyota and Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation to find revolutionary renewable energy solutions and pioneering approaches. Together, we aspire to create a world where sustainability becomes a way of life."

Bio-hydrogen has the potential to play a significant role in Thailand’s decarbonization journey, and in addition to poultry waste to biogas, the partnership is also exploring broader mobility solutions, and is pleased to announce the successful completion of a second test project into the role that drones can play in supporting agriculture in Thailand. Toyota created a fuel cell powered drone that has successfully been used across a number of CP farms in support of seeding, the fertilization of crops as well as other agricultural tasks.

Masahiko Maeda, CEO of Asia Region of Toyota Motor Corporation noted, "I am excited to see actual implementation progress with C.P. Group. We are achieving good results for CO2 reduction and considering how we can contribute further to the happiness of the 67 million Thai citizens under the concept of ‘doing what can be done now’, together with partners who share the same view. With the country’s agriculture resources combined with the extensive and strong value chain of C.P. Group along with Toyota/CJPT’s mobility business expertise, Thailand’s first trial for producing hydrogen from poultry farm’s biogas can be utilized for greener logistics. We would like to expand the scope of our collaboration to promote initiatives for carbon neutrality suited to Thailand in the three areas of energy, data and mobility."

C.P. Group, through its subsidiaries, operates a large fleet of commercial vehicles. The partnership is actively exploring how different types of electric vehicles, including HEVs (hybrid electric), BEVs (battery electric) and FCEVs (fuel cell electric), can be optimized for both urban logistics and agricultural transportation, as well as how data can be effectively used to optimize loading processes and route planning to minimize fuel consumption and emissions associated with transportation.  

C.P. Group Member of Executive Committee, Kachorn Chiaravanont said, "C.P. Group and Toyota have shared a common interest since the start of our relationship 25 years ago to support decarbonisation. We are excited about investing in new technologies and are ambitious in our combined ambition to find new ways to support the energy transition, for Thailand. Our aim is to explore the potential of producing, transporting and using bio-gas hydrogen across C.P. Group’s business, starting with trials in some of Thailand’s special economic zones and then deploying at scale in due time. We invite more partners and communities to join us in our mission and journey."

By combining their expertise and resources, Charoen Pokphand Group, Toyota Motor Corporation, and Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies are committed to driving positive change and contributing to a more sustainable future.

HONG KONG, Dec. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Future Investment Initiative PRIORITY Summit Hong Kong today reconvened leaders from finance and government for a second day to address global matters of concern to humanity.

DAY TWO OF HONG KONG INVESTOR SUMMIT TACKLES MEGATRENDS IMPACTING THE PLANET’S EIGHT BILLION CITIZENS

One thousand global investors, policy makers, innovators and business leaders were joined by counterparts from across Asia to discuss ‘megatrends’ including the unstoppable rise of Asia as an economic power, the impact of technology on lifestyles and jobs, and the deployment of capital between diverse markets and economies.

The day began with a presentation by FII Institute CEO Richard Attias and COO Rakan Tarabzoni of the Priority Compass Report, a global survey of 53,000 people across 23 countries. The survey revealed a sharp drop of 20% worldwide in people’s overall satisfaction with their lives, with respondents reporting concerns over cost of living, loneliness, technology, and climate concerns. 65% of people in countries polled are worried about day-to-day living costs. Loneliness has leaped up the list of concerns, with 41% of Asia’s population reporting frequent feelings of loneliness. 55% of people worldwide are worried about access to affordable and accessible healthcare and climate concerns continue to deepen as 78% of people across the Global South are worried about pollution.

Laurence Moroney, Lead AI Advocate at Google addressed concerns about AI and the risk of biases emerging because of reliance on narrow English language datasets. Moroney pointed out that 60% of information on Web 2.0 is generated by bots.

He also argued that innovators in AI need to account for distinctive local cultural identities in the development of AI models and explained that Google’s Gemini is working to condense and preserve cultures into small models, allowing people to interact with, learn about, and preserve individual distinctive cultures.

A panel discussion on cost of living heard Jerry Li, Founder and Managing Partner eWTP Arabia Capital describe data as the new oil, a resource driving innovation and progress. The 120 zettabytes (120, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes) generated in 2023 is expected to increase by over 150% in 2025, to 181 zettabytes.

During a panel discussion on the future of work Edith Yeung of Race Capital suggested that AI will free people from doing the things that they do not want to do, freeing them for more meaningful activities. The average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime.

Raymond Yuan, CEO & Chairman CTH Group pointed out synergies between blockchain and AI starting to emerge in healthcare, life sciences, as well as financial services. The global Blockchain Market size was estimated to be approximately $7.4 billion in 2022 and the global artificial intelligence market $428 billion.

A panel of leading Asian venture capitalists debated ways in which Asia can grow vibrant and successful startup ecosystems, with $22.3 billion invested in Asian startups between July and September 2023.

Discussing the impact of investment on longevity and ageing Joshua Fink, Founder Luma Group, explained that revolutionary regenerative medicine, inspired by Nobel Prize-winning research, can reverse cells to a pre-disease state, offering hope against genetic diseases.

His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, Chairman, Saudi Esports Federation described the spectacular growth of gaming over the last 20 years at 12% per year. By the end of 2023 it is projected there will be 3.75 billion gamers in the world.

In a ‘titan of industry’ fireside chat with Sir Martin Sorrell, Richard Attias and Sorrell surveyed the global media sector, worth $950 billion, with digital projected to comprise 70% by 2025. On the future of platforms such as TikTok Sorrell explained that with young people’s views being shaped by new forms of social media, issues surrounding data safety and privacy will continue. Discussing ‘hyper personalization’ he pointed out that Coca Cola is thinking about the potential for AI to target individual messages to consumers.

Rakan Tarabzoni, COO, FII Institute presented the summit with FII’s inclusive ESG tool, launched to help companies in emerging markets improve sustainability and help investment capital find current and future performance leaders. The tool, which has been made publicly available will address biases inbuilt in other ESG methods and may unlock a $5.4 trillion funding gap of investments into emerging markets.

In the final session HE Kjell Magne Bondevik former Prime Minister of Norway and President, Oslo Centre for Peace and Human Right declared himself convinced that businesses that take more seriously the concerns of common people will be the businesses that will thrive in the future.

The FII Institute has worked with HKEX and consulting firm Deloitte to offset the carbon emissions generated by the summit, by purchasing credits on the HKEX Core Climate exchange, exemplifying a shared conviction that purposeful markets and business can serve humanity as a force for good.

During the summit BOC International signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with SPIC International Finance (Hong Kong) Company Ltd. on green finance, bond investment and issuance, and global capital management. The signing was witnessed by Mr. Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of Hong Kong SAR.

The summit, held in partnership with Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), took place at HKEX Connect Hall.

The FII PRIORITY Summit Hong Kong continues conversations held in Riyadh last month. It is part of an ongoing global programme of summits, to be held next year in Miami (February) Brazil (June) and Africa (September))

Richard Attias, CEO of the Future Investment Initiative Institute said:

"I should like to thank Hong Kong Government, the Hong Kong Exchange and the people of this fabulous city for the welcome they have shown us this week. As the world charts its forward course we must be mindful at every turn of the issues that matter. Whether it’s cost of living, developing new modes of payment, new social media platforms, or poverty, it is investment and innovation that can make the difference. The investors and innovators here this week have taken these issues seriously and the conversations and hard work will continue as we strive for a better tomorrow."

BEIJING, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — This year marks the 10th anniversary of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Lianyungang City in east China’s Jiangsu Province launched this year a media campaign called "New Era, New Engine, New Journey to the West" to showcase its industrial development, investment cooperation, logistics trade, and cultural exchange achievements under the BRI.

The campaign involves research interviews conducted both at home and abroad with countries and regions participating in the BRI.

From May to September this year, media from Lianyungang interviewed domestic cities including Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, Zhengzhou, Xi’an, and Horgos, as well as Kazakh cities of Zharkent, Almaty and Astana.

From October 9 to November 17 this year, media published some articles about Lianyungang’s collaboration with these cities in the construction of the new Eurasian land-sea multimodal "transportation artery" and exchanges in the fields of economy, culture, and education.

The China-Kazakhstan (Lianyungang) logistics cooperation base, launched in 2014, is the first entity project under the BRI. Acting as a dry port in the Horgos-Eastern Gate special economic zone and the West China-West Europe international transport corridor, it has become an important platform for products from Central Asian countries to reach seaports.

Over the past decade, Lianyungang has mulled efforts in cultural exchanges. This August, a library in Almaty set up a special bookshelf dedicated to the culture of Lianyungang, promoting dialogue between different civilizations through mutual learning and understanding.

Lianyungang also held a international youth talent exchange event this August to promote university cooperation with Kazakhstan.

With its first store in New York, HEYTEA aims to refresh the U.S. market with a new generation of tea products.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — HEYTEA, the originator of Chinese new style tea, has landed on the big screen in Times Square with today’s announcement of its official entry into the U.S. market. The trailblazer in China’s new style tea, HEYTEA operates over 3,000 stores in China and has a significant presence across Asia. With this opening on Broadway, HEYTEA seeks to revolutionize the way that new-generation tea products are created and enjoyed in the U.S.

HEYTEA New York Store

HEYTEA’s first U.S. store officially opened today. The store is located in the heart of Broadway, in Midtown. New York landmarks such as Times Square, the Empire State Building and Madison Square Garden are within a 10-minute walk.

HEYTEA’s innovative new-generation Chinese tea is always made from fresh fruits, fresh tea leaves, and premium milk, with no compromises on the quality of the ingredients. In contrast, much of the "bubble tea" currently being sold is made from instant tea powder with artificial additives. HEYTEA will be the first Chinese new style tea brand selling products made with genuine, high-quality ingredients in the U.S.

"Cheese Tea"
The initial innovation of HEYTEA was the introduction of Cheese Tea. Not cheese in the traditional sense, but a cold tea with a thick, frothy, cream cheese-flavored foam on top. The foam is made with cream cheese, milk, cane sugar, and a little sea salt, and adds enjoyable taste and texture sensations to the product. 

The store will offer three categories of its foundational products: Refreshing Real Fruit Teas, Real Dairy Milk Teas, And Refreshing Finest Teas. Offerings such as Very Grape Cheese (Original), Very Grape HEYTEA (Original), Mango Grapefruit Sago, Roasted Brown Bobo Milk (Original), and Regal Aqua Green Jasmine Cheese (Original) may sound exotic to many New Yorker’s ears, but they are formulated to bring the HEYTEA experience to visitors of the Midtown location. The pricing is moderate, ranging from $3.99 to $7.49 (excluding additional toppings) with an average pre-tax price of $6.33.

The Originator Accelerates Global Expansion
Founded in 2012 in Jiangbianli, Guangdong Province, China, HEYTEA was the first brand to introduce fresh tea leaves and premium milk instead of instant tea powder and artificial additives to create cheese tea, a sweet cheese or ice cream flavored foam that sits on top of an ice-cold tea. The concept revolutionized the entire Chinese tea industry by providing healthier and more interesting tea products.

At its inaugural stores, in Shanghai and Beijing, HEYTEA drew hours-long lines of patrons, establishing itself as a rising star in the market, and China’s premier new-generation consumer brand.

It played a pivotal role in introducing new style tea brands to China’s high-end shopping centers, often adjacent to luxury brand stores, HEYTEA not only maintains innovative designs that set trends for other Chinese brands but also engages in co-branding ventures with companies including FENDI, Adidas, W Hotel among others, and influential figures in the fashion industry such as Hiroshi Fujiwara.

The first Chinese new style tea brand to go global, HEYTEA launched its first overseas store in Singapore in 2018, with over 3,000 cups of tea were sold every day during the opening period.

Significance of the New York City Market Entry
HEYTEA’s U.S. debut is a testament to its unwavering commitment to ushering in a new era of tea enjoyment. While the company has previously entered global markets i.e., the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, the U.S. offers a multitude of new opportunities.

"As the initial entry point for HEYTEA into the U.S. market, New York City holds extraordinary significance for the growth of our brand," said Yujia Gu, VP of Strategy at HEYTEA. "By providing high-quality products and services, we aspire to deliver a joyful brand experience to consumers in NYC and beyond, contributing to the ongoing development of the U.S. tea industry."

With its Midtown Broadway debut at 1407 Broadway, between West 38th and 39th streets, HEYTEA demonstrates the significance of, and its confidence in, the U.S. market. In the future, HEYTEA will continue to bring quality products and exciting new brand experiences to American consumers.

About HEYTEA
HEYTEA is the originator of new style tea. In 2012, HEYTEA began under humble circumstances in Jiangbianli, Guangdong, China. Armed with the principal of using only REAL ingredients and NO artificial flavors or colorants, HEYTEA created the first Cheese Tea by blending cheese foam with fresh tea. With its mission and vision of "Promoting Quality, Living Joy," HEYTEA is committed to rejuvenating traditional tea culture and making high-quality tea products available to all consumers. In 2018, HEYTEA opened its first international store in Singapore, bringing new style tea to a larger global community. Currently, HEYTEA has more than 3,000 stores worldwide.

BEIJING, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — An ice collecting festival kicked off in northeast China’s Harbin on Thursday, marking the beginning of the snow and ice tourism season of the "ice city".

Workers collect ice from the Songhua River in Harbin, capital of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, Dec. 7, 2023. (Xinhua/Wang Jianwei)

Ice collecting has been a time-honored custom in the city. After Major Snow, or "Da Xue," the 21st of the 24 Solar Terms on the Chinese lunar calendar, which falls on Dec. 7 this year, local people take tools to the frozen Songhua River to collect ice cubes,which will be used in icehouses for food storage and for the materials of ice sculptures. The custom has now turned to a major festival, which attracts visitors from all over the world.

A Harbin citizen Zhou Jie came in advance to watch the ice collecting closely. "I didn’t expect such a grand scene of ice collecting. It’s so interesting," said Zhou.

Apart from ice collecting, tourists can also enjoy local food and ice sports during the festival.

Huang Jing, a first-time comer and a local resident, enjoyed hot and fresh dumplings on the ice and experienced snow and ice vibe during the festival. Huang sincerely invited nationwide tourists to Harbin as the Harbin Ice and Snow World is about to open.

It is learned that Harbin ushers in the ice and snow season each year with the ice collecting festival. This year’s Harbin ice and snow season will be organized into four thematic sections and feature seven major series of activities. With the launch of over a hundred ice and snow events, the city is committed to building itself as an internationally renowned destination for snow and ice tourism.
