The company will send a group to the Myanmar oil refinery soon to conduct a feasibility study and negotiate the bilateral cooperation.

The Myanmar delegates then visited the coal-fired power plant and studied the measures to ensure the quality and continuous supply of coal, which is the main raw material used in coal-fired power generation, and the use of advanced technologies, such as Clean Coal Technology (CCT) not to have no impact on the environment.
