Китай нарастил переработку нефти впервые с начала иранской войны
China proposes nuclear-powered floating island to reshape global shippingPowered by molten salt reactors, the complex will function as a container terminal and zero-carbon platform
The floating terminal will be powered by advanced molten salt reactors that use liquefied salt as both a fuel and coolant. These reactors can store vast amounts of thermal energy and cool without the need for water.
The company announced its green marine transport hub concept – integrating shipping, port, energy production and transshipment – at the influential Posidonia International Shipping Exhibition in Greece on Tuesday and shared details on social media.
According to a slide show uploaded by Jiangnan Shipyard, the floating island complex will feature a nuclear-power and green-fuel production platform, dubbed the "zero-carbon heart of the hub".
It will house a molten salt reactor, solar panels, a wind turbine, a hydrogen production and green-fuel synthesis module and an electricity supply module.
