China sets new global green grid standard

The Round Table podcast episode discusses two main topics: a new international standard developed by China and 13 other nations for integrating renewable energy sources into global power grids, and China's efforts to transition from coal-based heating to cleaner and safer alternatives. The panel explores how the new standard aims to create a unified language for engineers and manufacturers to ensure the safe and seamless integration of wind and solar power into existing grids, preventing blackouts and promoting energy security. They also delve into China's clean heating initiatives, which include replacing coal stoves with heat pumps, utilizing industrial waste heat, and expanding renewable energy sources to reduce health risks and improve air quality during the winter season.
