Not really. Not like they had clean diesel technology or equivalent back then, we do now and they a) have access to it they should all play by the same rules.

Ha Ha! Made you look.

1-at least NA and Europe are doing something about it.

China's working on it but they have bigger challenges to face than other countries.

2-so we pollute a bunch extracting the resources….where do you suppose the lions share of it goes?and what happens to it when it gets there?

Gets made into shit for other countries.

Did you know that you cannot even run a modern diesel engine in Chins because they refuse to remove the sulfur from the fuel,not to mention water and dirt?

Did you know they've been shutting down coal plants and replacing them with NG? Did you know they also do most of our recycling and incinerate a lot of our shit too? Canada's got a pretty shitty track record when it comes to offshoring our damage to poorer countries.

Not saying our shit don't stink,but when the north American consumer has to shell out 4 to 20 grand more for an IT4 ot even more for a T4 machine…and the Chinese are still using 60's tech,everyone loses.

I think inefficient combustion engines are the least of China's smog problems.

Then you're in the wrong thread.We're talking about engines here and the regulation of their emissions.

I just started learning to operate the loader. That stuff was built by Kyle Sangers dad Rob who I am learning from earlier this year.

Kyle and Remi built this with a excavator.

Putting the HEAVY in heavy equipment……Prelude FLNG

[HTML_REMOVED]600 engineers worked on the facility’s design options

[HTML_REMOVED]200 km (125 miles) is the distance from the Prelude field to the nearest land

4 soccer fields, laid end to end, would be shorter than the facility’s deck

175 Olympic-sized swimming pools could hold the same amount of liquid as the facility’s storage tanks

6,700 horsepower thrusters will be used to position the facility

50 million litres of cold water will be drawn from the ocean every hour to help cool the natural gas

6 of the largest aircraft carriers would displace the same amount of water as the facility

93 metres (305 feet) is the height of the turret that runs through the facility, secured to the seabed by mooring lines

-162° Celsius (-260°F) is the temperature at which natural gas turns into LNG

1/600 is the factor by which a volume of natural gas shrinks when it is turned into LNG

117% of Hong Kong’s annual natural gas demand could be met by the facility’s annual LNG production

20-25 years is the time the Prelude FLNG facility will stay at the location to develop gas fields

The Maersk ship is huge. This thing is massive.

Hey Zeus! How long have they been constructing that thing?

I assume crews will have to boat in?

Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:

ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

At 200km(the one pic says 475km but I've read 200 from more than one source) a boat would make for a long ride and if the weather is crap……well, I would think Heli crew changes would likely be more of the norm. I'm sure supply boats(20-30 knots service speed) would be coming and going, but that would be 4-6 hr trips.
