Kína csúcsra tör a globális energiapiacon

PetroChina, China's biggest oil and gas producer, reported a 63 percent drop in its first-half profit, with earnings upstream and in the marketing segment both taking a hit from lower prices. Net profit declined to 25.4 billion yuan ($3.97 billion) in the first six months of 2015, from 68.1 billion yuan a year ago, the state-controlled company said on Thursday (27 August 2015) in a filing with the Hong Kong bourse. In April, PetroChina reported a 82 percent slump in net profit for the first quarter.

Ahogy a világ egyre inkább távolodik el a fosszilis energiahordozóktól a tiszta energia felé, úgy alakulnak át folyamatosan a globális energiapiaci viszonyok. Kína pedig ennek során igyekszik egyre nagyobb szerepet kiharcolni magának.
