Singapore seals carbon credit deal with Mongolia www.straitstimes.com

The home to some of the world’s largest temperate grasslands has become the latest country to seal a carbon trading deal with Singapore.
This pact with Mongolia marks the 10th such agreement that the Republic has finalised since end-2023.
The bilateral agreement allows the Singapore Government and carbon tax-liable firms here to buy eligible carbon credits from Mongolia to offset a fraction of their planet-warming emissions.
The deal, dubbed an implementation agreement, was signed on Oct 6 by Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu and Mongolian Minister of Environment and Climate Change Batbaatar Bat.
Ms Fu, who is also Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, said the signing of the agreement marked the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Mongolia.
“It reflects our shared ambition to build a sustainable, low-carbon future, and signals our commitment to work together to drive meaningful climate action and open up pathways towards sustainable development,” she added.
Mr Batbaatar said the endeavour will pave the way for a new model of international cooperation that benefits both people and the planet.

Mongolia may turn to China for gasoline after Russian import ban www.azernews.az

The governments of Mongolia and China are currently in talks regarding the potential launch of trade in petroleum products, particularly gasoline, Azernews reports.
According to Mongolian media, the discussions were confirmed by the Minister of Industry and Natural Resources, Gongoryn Damdinnyam. He noted that the ongoing instability in Russia’s fuel market is prompting Mongolia to explore alternative sources to ensure uninterrupted fuel imports.
“Russia has pledged to continue fuel deliveries without disruption. However, China has expressed interest in holding regular procurement negotiations and appears ready to supply petroleum products in sufficient volumes,” Damdinnyam stated.
Concrete steps toward this cooperation are expected to be outlined during the next government meeting.
The minister also emphasized the strategic importance of energy security for Mongolia: “The government’s action plan includes the goal of maintaining national fuel reserves sufficient for three to six months. Achieving this requires funding of around $2 billion.”
Currently, Mongolia relies heavily on Russia for petroleum imports—around 95% of its total supply. However, given recent uncertainties, several private Mongolian companies have launched initiatives to explore and develop domestic oil and gas fields. These projects aim to diversify supply sources, strengthen energy independence, and reduce reliance on foreign fuel.
If the deal with China progresses, it would mark a significant shift in Mongolia’s energy policy. For decades, Mongolia has depended almost exclusively on Russia for fuel. A new partnership with China—its other powerful neighbor—could not only improve energy security but also reshape regional trade dynamics. It may even open the door to trilateral energy negotiations involving all three countries, particularly as China continues to invest heavily in Central Asian infrastructure through its Belt and Road Initiative.

China halts 15 Inner Mongolia mines after exceeding production quotas www.energiesmedia.com

China has been on a regulatory inspection spree across its vast coal sector, which has led to the closure of fifteen mines in the Inner Mongolia region. The nation is following a directive issued by the President that aims to sacrifice short-term success for the environmental commitments made to the international community. China has, for the past few decades, been one of the world’s worst polluters and, as such, has implemented a new approach to the coal sector that may have a significant effect on the sector overall.
China is focused on the oversupply issues in the coal sector in the Inner Mongolia region
The news that Inner Mongolia’s Autonomous Region Energy Bureau recently ordered that 15 coal mines in the Ordos region cease operations following an inspection of the sites by the government.
President Xi recently outlined his nation’s plans to conduct inspections at several coal sites across the country. The aim is to assess the sites for oversupply and general safety concerns. The result in the Inner Mongolia region, which contributes approximately 27% of the country’s total coal output according to 2024 data from the National Bureau of Statistics, is that several sites have been ordered to halt operations.
Some have cleared the inspections and have been allowed to resume operations; however, the nationwide inspection campaign was launched in July 2025 and has found 15 sires that are guilty of oversupplying the sector by at least 10%.
“The targeted enforcement in Ordos highlights Beijing’s determination to maintain discipline in coal production. These actions send a clear message that production quotas are not merely suggestions but binding operational parameters” – industry analyst Zhang Wei from the China Coal Strategic Research Institute
The inspections represent the most extensive regulatory interventions in years for China
As President Xi announced in July of this year that he had instructed the government to address the oversupply issues in the nation’s coal sector, industry stakeholders were scrambling to meet the necessary safety and oversupply requirements, and a significant number of them failed.
The region where the inspections were conducted, known as the Ordos Basin, is crucial to China’s energy security. The region holds some of China’s highest quality coal, including significant deposits of thermal and coking coal essential for power generation and steel production.
According to documents from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Energy Bureau, these inspections represent the most extensive regulatory interventions in the region’s coal sector in many years.
The results of the inspections revealed systematic overproduction across multiple facilities, which triggered immediate regulatory action. The government has warned industry experts that they should anticipate continued regulatory vigilance throughout 2025, as the Chinese government aims to bring the coal sector back to its regulatory standards.
As China is one of the nations aiming to curb the influence and effects of the coal sector on the environment, other major players in the energy sector will surely follow the pioneering example set by the Chinese. Whether the inspections have a lasting impact on the coal sector is yet to be determined.
The inspections outline the ongoing evolution of the Chinese coal industry
China is just the latest country to continue the evolution of the coal sector; Russia has also reported a significant alteration of the coal sector’s output and influence on the energy sector as a whole. One would have expected the Chinese to keep the details of the inspections to themselves; however, China can not operate and grow its energy sector without the support of the international community. With that in mind, we can understand the evident clarity and transparency that the Chinese have presented to the global community. Hopefully, the sector can recover and continue to grow.

Mongolia to join data center frenzy with Chinggis Khaan sovereign wealth fund www.cnbc.com

Mongolia, long reliant on mining, plans to build data centers powered by renewable energy as it prepares its first sovereign wealth fund aimed at channeling its mineral wealth to social welfare and infrastructure.
"We have a massive land with a very favorable climate for activities like [hosting] data centers," Temuulen Bayaraa, CEO of the sovereign fund, told CNBC on the sidelines of the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore on Friday.
The landlocked East Asian nation is developing special economic zones dedicated for data centers, she added, referring to the Hunnu City that is envisioned as a smart, sustainable urban city.
The Chinggis Khaan Sovereign Wealth Fund, established by law in April last year, has $1.4 billion in reserves and seeks to tap global demand for computing power and clean energy. Its investment strategy is still pending the government's review and final approval.
A host of Asian countries have accelerated efforts to develop data centers this year amid growing demand for cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Japan, Singapore and Malaysia have ramped up investments in building out their data center capacity.
The recent explosion in AI workloads globally requires vast computing power, electrical power, cooling and networking infrastructure. Goldman Sachs expects global power demand from data centers to rise 50% by 2027 and by as much as 165% by 2030.
Aside from data centers, part of the fund's returns will also be used to build "mega-scaled" renewable energy power grids and projects, as part of the country's efforts to boost green energy exports to neighboring countries, Bayaraa said. Mongolia, sandwiched between Russia and China, has upgraded its ties with both superpowers to the level of "comprehensive strategic partnerships" in recent years.
The plan comes as the Mongolian government pledged to boost the share of renewable energy, especially wind and solar power, in the country's electricity capacity to 30% by 2030, up from 18.3% in 2023.
The fund's investment strategies will also center on countering risks associated with price fluctuations in commodities, Bayaraa said, as the funds' sources are "very dependent on commodities." The Chinggis Fund is managed by Erdenes Mongol, a government-owned holding company that owns a share in the country's mining assets.
The sparsely-populated country, with just about 3.5 million residents, has benefited from a boom in prices for its rich supplies of critical minerals, including coal, copper, uranium and rare-earth elements.
Rebuilding trust
The Mongolian government has been under growing pressure to distribute its mineral wealth among its people and put an end to corruption in the sector. Anti-corruption protests in its capital, Ulaanbaatar, earlier this year forced Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai to step down as prime minister.
"People didn't feel like mining contributed to the wealth, betterment of their livelihoods while eroding the natural resources. But now the sovereign wealth fund is positioned in a way to rebuild that trust," Bayaraa said.
The fund will play a central role in the country's development plan aimed at providing more transparency and equity in wealth distribution, she added, by pulling in mineral wealth to be "managed and disbursed in a ring-fenced manner to support people, their educational needs, financing, educational, healthcare and housing needs."
"The critical work is to build a governance model [for the fund]," she added. Citizens will be able to access on an app details of the fund's sources, allocation and balance. "It's very targeted intervention for expanding middle class, pushing labor market participation," she said.
The fund's leader plans to hire members of the Mongolian diaspora with experience in the banking, investment, and wealth management industries to return home and help manage the fund.
"For the longest time, Mongolia has been attracting investment into Mongolia. For the first day, we are becoming an investor to contribute to the global agenda," Bayaraa said.

Stone tools uncover 140,000-year-old human history in the Mongolian Gobi www.interestingengineering.com

A groundbreaking new study reveals that ancient human groups inhabited the Mongolian Gobi Desert when it was a lush landscape of lakes and wetlands. The findings, published in PLOS One, push back the timeline of human presence in the region significantly, from approximately 140,000 years ago until around 8,000 years ago.
While the Gobi is known today as a harsh, arid region, researchers say a much wetter climate during the Early Holocene created a favorable environment for early human populations.
A new study published in PLOS One by an international team of archaeologists examined a dried-up lake in the Gobi Desert that was left over from the Ice Age as temperatures rose. They even found a cluster of stone tools — up to 2,700.
The Luulityn Toirom Paleolake provided them with rare evidence of human occupation during this humid phase of the Gobi Desert. This evidence suggests that humans were present much earlier than expected, showing their ability to adapt to desert landscapes during these brief humid periods.
By studying lake sediments, soil layers, and nearby landforms, researchers determined the ancient lake’s size and shape and how the climate changed. They combined all this evidence to glean who lived there, what they did, and how they made these tools.
The study shows that early Homo sapiens were strategic, climate-aware foragers who could thrive on the desert’s edge while they spread to new territories as the global ice melted.
Combining techniques such as geoarchaeology, sedimentology, luminescence dating, and lithic analysis, they discovered that the mountain basin once held a lake in the Pleistocene and Early Holocene, up to 140,000 years ago, according to Archaeology News.
One method worthy of note was optically stimulated luminescence, which helped them to understand how long ago the soil was last exposed to sunlight. This technique uncovered the deepest layers of human activity, which were dated between 8,000 and 13,000 years ago.
Tools that reveal how smart and agile humans were
The 2,726 lithic artifacts recovered suggest that early humans exhibited the ability to think ahead about the tools they crafted with notable skill.
From scraping leather to processing wood and bones, these tools were made from jade and chalcedony, sourced from distant outcrops. This finding shows the remarkable mobility, trade, and foraging territories of these early humans.
As per the study, the tools at site FV92 show that humans “transported raw materials from elsewhere, produced bladelets using structured reduction sequences, and used them for diverse tasks such as scraping, cutting, and processing plant and animal materials.” This reveals a “complex and organized approach to tool production and use” in this region of the Mongolian Gobi Desert.
“It is noteworthy that there are no outcrops of raw materials located in the vicinity of the site,” the study authors explained.
A study that fills a gap in early human history
These early humans were highly mobile and possessed extensive knowledge of their environment. They would have traveled substantial distances to source the materials they used, even to butcher animals and process plants. Archaeologists thus got a snapshot of these early humans during a pivotal moment in history when the climate permitted their dispersal through a warming Gobi Desert.
This was one of the few studies that employed a multidisciplinary approach to understand Early Holocene human activity in the Gobi Desert, revealing how they interacted with the land and adapted to the changing climate. The research focuses on human dispersal after the Ice Age, which was made possible by the rising temperatures, and the strategies they employed to thrive.
“The research is part of comprehensive multidisciplinary projects aiming at reconstructing, among other things, the ways of exploiting the natural environment of the Gobi Desert by prehistoric communities,” the authors concluded in the study.
“The obtained results contribute to filling the gaps in the knowledge about the presence and technological behavior of prehistoric communities in the arid regions of Central Asia.”

Mongolia exports over 18,000 tons of meat, meat products in first 8 months www.xinhuanet.com

Mongolia exported 18,100 tons of meat and meat products in the first eight months of 2025, a 10.9 percent decrease compared to the same period last year, the country's Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry said on Saturday.
The sheep and goat meat accounted for 63 percent of total exports, the ministry said in a statement.
During the period, the majority of the meat and meat products were exported to China, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.
The sector of animal husbandry is one of the main pillars of the Mongolian economy, and almost 40 percent of the country's nomadic population depends on it.
However, due to the harsh and long winter, most of Mongolia's nomadic herders lose livestock every year, which leads to a reduction in their livelihoods.
According to the National Statistics Office, Mongolia had 57.6 million head of livestock at the end of 2024.
