JPMorgan Chase: SK Hynix may generate an additional $130 billion in shareholder returns.On August 20th, Baidu announced that its Apollo Go autonomous vehicles have officially launched on the Uber platform, providing services to passengers in Dubai. The fleet is operated by New Horizon Luxury Transport. Starting today, Dubai users can directly hail Apollo Go fully autonomous vehicles through the Uber app. This is the first project to be implemented based on the long-term strategic cooperation between the two companies. Previously, the two parties planned to integrate thousands of Apollo Go autonomous vehicles into the Uber platform, covering multiple markets globally.On August 20th, Samsung Electronics announced plans to expand and construct new "P5 1 and 2 factories" at the core of its Pyeongtaek semiconductor base in Gyeonggi Province, upgrading its existing "two-layer wafer fab" structure to a "three-layer wafer fab." This move aims to maximize production capacity in line with the global trend of a "supercycle" in artificial intelligence semiconductors and memory chips. The revised industrial park plan requires review by the Governor of Gyeonggi Province and approval by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transports Industrial Site Selection Policy Review Committee before it can take effect.HarmonyOS: After 53 months, the total delivery volume of the HarmonyOS series has officially exceeded 1.5 million vehicles.On August 20th, Norwegian State Secretary Andreas Kravik met with Jeff Goettman, Deputy Trade Representative for Europe and other regions at the Office of the United States Trade Representative. They discussed the additional 12.5% tariff imposed by the United States last month on Norwegian exports (a rate higher than that faced by EU goods entering the US market), and the possibility of further tariff increases. Goettman stated after the meeting, "We are very likely to face even higher tariffs. We should be aware of this."

In Colombia, natural gas consumption has outpaced production

According to our most recent Colombia Country Analysis Brief, Colombia imported 14,2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas to help meet its natural gas demand for electricity in 2020, when a drop in hydroelectric power was caused by drought.


In 2020, hydroelectricity will contribute to around 65% of Colombia's electrical generation, down from nearly 80% in earlier years. Since hydropower is Colombia's principal energy source, droughts may have a significant effect on the country's electrical producing mix.


The bulk of natural gas used in Colombia is produced domestically and employed to create electricity. In recent years, imports have progressively bridged the gap between domestic natural gas production and domestic demand. In 2020, Colombia produced 399 Bcf of dry natural gas, while domestic consumption was 413 Bcf.


Concerns over the reliability of the nation's electricity supply prompted the Colombian government to approve the Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) LNG import plant in November 2014. The facility started operations in November 2016. The administration has since proposed the Pacific Regasification LNG terminal as the nation's second LNG import plant.


EPM is currently developing the new hydroelectric dam project Ituango. The first of eight 300-megawatt generating units will commence operating in the second part of 2022. The whole project will have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when it is finished in 2025. If completed, the Ituango project would be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Colombia in terms of generating capacity. In 2020, the installed electrical production capacity of Colombia was 17 gigawatts.
