Bitcoin mining in China could soon generate as much carbon emissions as some European countries, study finds www.cnn.com

New York (CNN Business)Bitcoin's soaring popularity could have a long-lasting negative effect on the environment.
Cryptocurrency mining requires significant computer power and electricity, and the increase in bitcoin purchases leaves behind a hefty carbon footprint.
But just how much is bitcoin mining contributing to global warming?
In China alone, bitcoin is projected to generate more than 130 million metric tons of carbon emissions by the time the technology's energy consumption peaks in 2024, according to a new study published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
That amount of greenhouse gases would have surpassed the total annual emissions output from the Czech Republic and Qatar in 2016. The bitcoin blockchain could consume as much energy per year as small to medium-sized countries such as Denmark, Ireland or Bangladesh, according to research from Sinan Kufeogl, civil engineering research associate at the University of Cambridge.
As bitcoin has grown in popularity, China has become a mecca for the technology. If China's bitcoin industry were a country, its total energy consumption would have ranked 12th globally in 2016, ahead of major economies like Italy and Saudi Arabia, according to the study. With specialized hardware and cheap electricity readily available, the country now accounts for more than 75% of the bitcoin network's hashing power — the power a computer or hardware uses to run and solve algorithms that generate new cryptocurrency sums and allow transactions between them.
"Since the bitcoin mining industry is so new, it has not been properly accounted for and regulated around the world," Shouyang Wang, a co-author of the study and professor at Chinese Academy of Sciences, told CNN Business.
Bitcoin mining hardware has evolved as the cryptocurrency's popularity has increased over time. At its inception, bitcoin mining went through a basic Central Processing Unit (CPU) on a general-purpose computer, the study's authors say.
The process then evolved and shifted to Graphic Processing Units (GPUs), which offered more power, higher hash rates and ultimately led to more energy consumption. Eventually, Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) were introduced to optimize the mining-related calculations.
Cryptocurrency mining hardware is constantly running, which also increases energy consumption. Between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2018, the mining operations for four major cryptocurrencies released up to an estimated 13 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, according to a separate study in the research journal Nature Sustainability.
The growth of these emissions could have massive implications for the entire planet.
China is a key signatory of the Paris Agreement and has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2060. But the country remains the world's largest contributor of greenhouse gases, and the study's authors say bitcoin mining could compromise the country's attempts at emissions reductions.
"It is important to provide miners with incentives to move their operations to clean-energy regions," Wang said. "That is why building and upgrading the clean-energy power generation facilities to ensure consistent electricity generation is important."

Foreign visitors to Mongolia decrease by 90.2 pct in Q1 www.xinhuanet.com

The number of foreign visitors to Mongolia in the first quarter this year plummeted by 90.2 percent from a year ago due to the global COVID-19 outbreak, official data released by the country's National Statistics Office (NSO) showed Monday.
In the January-March period, Mongolia received a total of only 4,024 foreign visitors, the NSO said.
The sharp decline in foreign visitors is directly related to the prolonged measures to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, according to experts with the statistical office.
Mongolia suspended international passenger flights in mid-February 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The Asian country is planning to reopen its air border from May 1 to resume international passenger flights, according to the government.
So far, the country has registered 15,718 COVID-19 cases, with 30 related deaths

Petro Matad announces Block XX operational update www.energy-pedia.com

Petro Matad, the AIM quoted Mongolian oil company, has provided an operational update.
Block XX Exploitation Licence
Progress has been made on the two remaining steps of the Exploitation Licence application that need to be completed prior to submitting the formal request for the Block XX Exploitation Licence to be awarded.
Plan of Development: Mongolia's upstream industry regulator, the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia (MRPAM), convened a meeting of the Technical Committee on 16 March and provided its recommendations on Petro Matad's Heron oilfield Plan of Development. These have been incorporated into the documentation which is now ready for final review by the Mineral Resources Professional Council (MRPC) as required under the Mongolian government's Exploitation Licence application procedure. The MRPC has been asked to convene the meeting as soon as possible. If required, the meeting can be conducted virtually as was the MRPC review of Heron reserves.
Exploitation Area: The Company and MRPAM have agreed the area of Block XX that will be retained under the Exploitation Licence when awarded. The Exploitation Area includes the entire extension into Block XX of the proven and producing Toson Uul Basin. This basin contains an estimated 2 billion barrels of in place oil in the Petro China operated areas in Block XXI and XIX immediately to the north of Block XX. The agreed Block XX Exploitation Area contains all of the prospectivity identified within the proven basin. Petro Matad will look to undertake near field exploration drilling in this area, in parallel with the development of the Heron oilfield.
Formal application for Exploitation Licence: We have requested that MRPC reviews and approves the Plan of Development as soon as possible and once confirmed by ministerial resolution, we will have all the documents required to submit the formal application to the Minister to grant the Block XX Exploitation Licence.
Timing: Mongolia has been suffering from localised lockdowns in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in recent weeks and another two week lockdown has just been imposed in Ulaanbaatar in response to a rise in cases. We are hopeful that the lockdown will not impact the MRPC meeting. MRPC met virtually to review and approve the Heron field reserves during Mongolia's December 2020 lockdown. We are focused on successfully completing the Exploitation Licence application procedure and submitting the application to the Minister for award of the Licence early in Q2 2021.
Short-Term Funding Considerations
As the Company reported in 2020, cash conservation initiatives were implemented to extend the life of the Company's existing cash resources through to mid-2021, a period deemed long enough at that time to secure the Exploitation Licence and the funding necessary for the next phase of the Company's development. Given the progress made in recent weeks, we remain hopeful that the Exploitation Licence will still be granted within this period however, in order to secure the financial standing of the Company beyond mid-2021, the Board has procured an unsecured loan facility from its major and founding shareholder, Petrovis.
Petrovis has agreed to make available to Petro Matad a line of credit of up to US$1.5 million, to be drawn when needed to maintain the Company's operating capability, to see it through to the award of the Exploitation Licence and the establishment of funding for development operations. Interest on the loan will be paid at effectively the same rate that Petrovis secures US dollar financing from its banks (currently 10%). The loan will be repaid by one or more of the following:
From production revenue with repayment starting no earlier than 2023;
The amount drawn plus interest will be rolled into Petrovis's contribution to any future equity fund raising that may be undertaken; or
From the proceeds (payment of back-costs) of a successful farm-out.
The loan will only be drawn if required and based on current and forecast operating costs could fund the Company at its current level of staffing and activity through to Q3 2022 if necessary. With this funding mechanism available, Petro Matad will have the finances it needs to complete the Exploitation Licence application process and to secure the funding required for development operations on the Heron oilfield.
Mike Buck, CEO of Petro Matad said:
'We are very pleased to have agreed with MRPAM the Exploitation Area which contains the entirety of the Heron and Gazelle structures and the full extent into Block XX of the prolific oil producing Toson Uul basin. We are evaluating the near field potential in the area that could see reserves increase significantly through low cost, high chance of success, exploration drilling conducted in parallel with production and development activities at Heron over the next few years.
On the Plan of Development, we are appreciative of the time and dedication shown by MMHI and MRPAM in providing their expertise and recommendations to improve the plan. MMHI has also said it will expedite the MRPC review which is the final, formal meeting required in the Exploitation Licence application procedure.
Finally, we are extremely grateful to Petrovis for their continued support and their firm belief that Petro Matad can successfully move to being an exploration and production company in the near-term. Their ongoing support underlines their confidence in the potential of Petro Matad and of the country for sustained development.'
Further updates will be provided in due course.

The government planned 56 sets of measures, such as promoting manufacturers and business industries, maintaining employment, provision of housing, supporting the agricultural production and income and livelihoods of livestock herders, developing non-mining export production, and increasing loan accessibility to individuals and companies.
The Finance Minister introduced that the comprehensive plan is designed not to pose an additional burden on the state budget and government’s debts, and the measures of loans to support employment and agricultural sector will be carried out using the sources of commercial banks’ funding with government-subsidized support for loan interests. In addition, the measures of repo financing and mortgage loans will be sourced from the central bank and commercial banks.
The MNT 10 trillion plan also lays out actions to increase economic activity through intensifying the projects underway with the international loans and grants money and to finance development projects of Erdenes Tavantolgoi LLC and other projects with benefits on the economy.
The sets of measures of the comprehensive plan with total financing of MNT 10 trillion include:

The mortgage program funding is sourced by both the central bank and commercial banks. As of April 6, some 2,609 borrowers have received MNT 542.8 billion in mortgage loans and the average loan amount is MNT 75 million.
Within the framework of the youth employment training program for 2021-20204 with the total cost of MNT 500 billion, the government is planning to spend MNT 11.8 billion to select 5,000 youths for the employment training program only in 2021.

Fine with a fine: Alibaba accepts all-time high $2.8bn penalty from Chinese antitrust regulator www.rt.com

China’s antitrust regulators have hit Alibaba Group, the world’s largest e-commerce corporation, with an 18.2 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) fine, the highest penalty of its kind on record.
The fine imposed on Alibaba is nearly three times higher than the 6.1-billion-yuan penalty imposed on Qualcomm, the world’s largest supplier of mobile chips, six years ago.
Moreover, Alibaba has been obliged to file self-examination and compliance reports to the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) for three years.
The company said it “accepts the penalty with sincerity and will ensure its compliance with determination.”
“To serve its responsibility to society, Alibaba will operate in accordance with the law with utmost diligence, continue to strengthen its compliance systems and build on growth through innovation,” the company said.
The fine, which amounts to nearly 4% of the Alibaba’s revenue in 2019, comes after a months-long antitrust investigation. The case has reportedly set the precedent that will enable Chinese authorities to regulate the country’s Big Tech by means of anti-monopoly rules.
According to the SAMR, Alibaba had “abused its dominant market position in China’s online retail platform service market since 2015 by forcing online merchants to open stores or take part in promotions on its platforms.”
The approach had been forcing merchants to choose one of two platforms, rather than being able to work with both. That allowed the e-commerce giant to bolster its position in the market and gain unfair competitive advantages, in breach of the country’s anti-monopoly law.
The penalty comes as the latest development in China’s crackdown on its technology companies. The country’s tech giants, particularly the ones operating in the financial sector, have been under close attention from the Chinese government, amid its increasing power.
Chinese billionaire Jack Ma, the founder of both Alibaba and Ant Group, a financial platform that evolved from Alibaba’s payments service, Alipay, has recently become the focus of this intense scrutiny.
Ant’s long-anticipated stock market debut was halted in November after Chinese regulators introduced new rules on online micro-lending, a key part of its business. The China Securities Regulatory Commission also summoned Ma and other Ant execs.
The billionaire reportedly came under fire for criticizing Chinese regulators. Ma dropped out of the spotlight for months, evoking widespread speculation over his whereabouts after he gave a speech at a Shanghai conference, accusing officials of having a “pawnshop mentality” that stunted business growth and innovation in China.

China considers mixing COVID-19 vaccines to boost protection rate www.reuters.com

BEIJING (Reuters) -China’s top disease control official has said the country is formally considering mixing COVID-19 vaccines as a way of further boosting vaccine efficacy.
Available data shows Chinese vaccines lag behind others including Pfizer and Moderna in terms of efficacy, but require less stringent temperature controls during storage.
Giving people doses of different vaccines is one way to improve vaccines that “don’t have very high rates of protection”, Gao Fu, the director of the Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said on Saturday, without specifying whether he was referring to foreign or domestic vaccines
“Inoculation using vaccines of different technical lines is being considered,” Gao told a conference in the Chinese city of Chengdu.
Gao said that taking steps to “optimise” the vaccine process including changing the number of doses and the length of time between doses was a “definite” solution to efficacy issues.
Two injections of a vaccine developed by China’s Sinovac Biotech, when given shorter than three weeks apart, was 49.1% effective based on data from a Phase III trial in Brazil, below the 50% threshold set by World Health Organization, according to a paper published by Brazilian researchers on Sunday ahead of peer review.
But data from a small subgroup showed that the efficacy rate increased to 62.3% when the doses were given at intervals of three weeks and longer. The overall efficacy rate for the vaccine was slightly above 50% in the trial.
China has developed four domestic vaccines approved for public use and a fifth for smaller-scale emergency use. An official said on Saturday that the country will likely produce 3 billion doses by the end of the year.
No detailed efficacy data has been released on vaccines made by China’s Sinopharm. It has said two vaccines developed by its units are 79.4% and 72.5% effective respectively, based on interim results.
Both vaccine makers have presented data on their COVID-19 vaccines indicating levels of efficacy in line with those required by WHO, a WHO panel said in March.
China has shipped millions of its vaccines abroad, and officials and state media have fiercely defended the shots while calling into question the safety and logistics capabilities of other vaccines.
“The global vaccine protection rate test data are both high and low,” Gao told state tabloid Global Times on Sunday.
“How to improve the protection rate of vaccines is a problem that requires global scientists to consider,” Gao said, adding that mixing vaccines and adjusting immunisation methods are solutions that he had proposed.
Gao also rejected claims by some media reports that he said Chinese COVID-19 vaccines have a low protection rate, telling Global Times that it was “a complete misunderstanding.”

President gives address regarding Oyu Tolgoi issues to State Great Khural plenary session www.montsame.mn

On April 9, President of Mongolia Khaltmaagiin Battulga delivered an address at the plenary session of the State Great Khural.
The President said:
“Distinguished members of the Parliament, and
Dear citizens,
Within my full rights as the President of Mongolia, I have submitted a draft presidential decree on providing the Cabinet with instruction.
The strict lockdown, taking effect tomorrow (April 10th), is going to continue until April 25th, as the coronavirus situation is estimated to get worse. We are also in an anticipation of the tribunal hearing, expected April 30th of 2021, in which Mongolia participates as the respondent. For these reasons, I have submitted the said decree to the Cabinet.
It has come to the attention of my Office representative a week ago that the Mongolian Government is scheduled to submit a response by April 30th to the case raised by Oyu Tolgoi LLC as the claimant at the London Court of International Arbitration.
The legal consultant, one of the world’s leading law firms, to the Mongolian Government on the said case has been advising that “by filing a counterclaim indicating the serious evidences of corruption surrounding the Oyu Tolgoi agreement and the contracts, revealed by judicial processes in 6 different countries”, and that “Mongolia should file a counterclaim.”
In other words, by issuing the counterclaim, a sought for justice, as advised by its legal consultant, Mongolia can:
renew the agreements and contracts in connection to the Oyu Tolgoi project;
protect the fundamental interests of the country, and ensure equal and fair distribution of the benefit of the natural resources; and
maintain mutually beneficial and transparent cooperation with the investor.
As a result of the successful operations of national and international courts, as well as the prosecution and anti-graft agencies of Mongolia, the crimes of the network of people who have acquired enormous amounts of illegal possessions by misappropriating national wealth – natural resources have been uncovered. We, Mongolians, have been witnessing the benefits of these discoveries, as now is the high time that Mongolia presses on the investors with strongly founded demands.
Reconciliation of the Oyu Tolgoi agreement with just principles serves a great purpose to reviving the economic security of Mongolia, ensuring welcoming and fair environment for foreign investments, reassuring Mongolia’s prestige on the international stage, and setting foot in the new era with full confidence.
I believe in the ability of the ruling power to set aside their political interests and put first the common interests of the people, who they represent as the absolute majority, and accept and resolve the decree.
As we all know, the tangible yields from the wealth coming from Erdenet copper deposit and Salkhit silver deposit, and the positive attitude of investors towards the issue of revision of the Oyu Tolgoi agreement are all thanks to the Mongolian prosecution and anti-graft agencies’ efforts to combat white-collar crimes and identify illicit overseas assets.
This is a clear manifestation of our ability to make advancements in every field, if we unite our goodwill and put the common national interests first.
I ask You, distinguished members of Parliament, to pledge Your attention and support. Thank You.”
The Office of the President of Mongolia
