GTT - UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 1 Interview with the Chairman Philippe Berterottière GTT is furthering its continuous What would say about GTT’s performance in 2020? efforts in R&D to address > 2020 was marked by the global pandemic and an economic slowdown in many countries. Given the conditions, and with many the needs of its customers teams working from home, the performance achieved by GTT was remarkable. On this occasion, I would like to congratulate for their energy transition the GTT teams who actively joined forces to face a high level of activity, in order to further innovate and meet the needs of our and the increased customers. GTT’s major asset is its employees, their multiple skills requirements they face. and unwavering commitment. From a commercial standpoint, with 51 orders recorded in 2020 across all segments, the year was particularly dynamic. Demand in LNG continued on its upward trend, driven by Asian countries. In addition to the 41 orders for LNG carriers, GTT once again demonstrated, with orders for ethane carriers, FSRUs, FSUs and onshore storage tanks, its ability to cover the entire liquefied gas transport and storage value chain. After three years marked by numerous commercial successes, our order book is at a high level. Most of the orders for 2020 are for an extended time horizon that gives GTT higher visibility through 2025. You completed three acquisitions in 2020. A record. What is your external growth strategy? > 2020 was a dynamic year in terms of external growth for GTT, with the acquisition of Marorka, an Icelandic company specializing in Smart Shipping, and that of OSE Engineering in the field of artificial intelligence. These acquisitions are part of our strategy to support the digital transformation and energy transition of maritime transportation. In October 2020, GTT acquired Areva H2Gen, now called Elogen, a company specialising in the design and assembly of electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen. This transaction confirms GTT’s commitment to the energy and environmental transition. Our strategy is to make targeted acquisitions that generate immediate added value and help accelerate our growth. Why invest in hydrogen? > The acquisition of Elogen enables GTT to expand its technological portfolio with expertise in green hydrogen, an essential component, together with LNG, of the energy mix over the next decades. This acquisition confirms GTT’s ambition to continue to develop cutting-edge technologies for improved energy efficiency. It is fully in line with GTT’s development strategy, which consists in capitalising on growth drivers that enable it to enhance its GTT’s headquarters in Saint-Rèmy-lès-Chevreuse expertise in technology development, its know-how in gas handling processes and its understanding of energy production and transport players. You have achieved your financial objectives for 2020 which turned out to be an outstanding year. A genuine achievement during covid? > The COVID crisis only had a limited impact on our business. Our financial performance was in line with the objectives we set in February 2020, before the COVID crisis. Revenue in 2020 was up sharply by 38% compared to 2019, which was already up by 17% compared to 2018. This performance is the result of the particularly high level of orders received in 2018 and 2019. EBITDA for 2020 posted a strong increase of 39%. 2 GTT - UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 gtt.fr What are you expecting in 2021?

  • Knowledge Control and Social Contestation in China's
    Science in Movements This book analyzes and compares the origins, evolutionary patterns and consequences of different science and technology controversies in China, including hydropower resistance, disputes surrounding genetically modified organisms and the nuclear power debate. The examination combines social movement theories, communication studies, and science and technology studies. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book provides an insight into the interwoven relationship between social and political controls and knowledge monopoly, and looks into a central issue neglected by previous science communication studies: why have different con- troversies shown divergent patterns despite similar social and political contexts? It is revealed that the media environment, political opportunity structures, knowledge-control regimes and activists’ strategies have jointly triggered, nur- tured and sustained these controversies and led to the development of different patterns. Based on these observations, the author also discusses the significance of science communication studies in promoting China’ssocialtransformation and further explores the feasible approach to a more generic framework to understand science controversies across the world. The book will be of value to academics of science communication, science and technology studies, political science studies and sociology, as well as general readers interested in China’s science controversies and social movements.

But what happens when the weapons of one side are dramatically inferior to those of the other? Could the technological imbalance be overcome by innovative tactics? This title examines such a contest, the US Army’s M4A3 Sherman medium tank against the Japanese Type 97-kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha in the Philippines in 1945. Tank combat in the Pacific War of 1941–45 is not widely discussed. There has long been a presumption that the terrain conditions in many areas, especially the mountainous tropical jungles of the Southwest Pacific and Burma, were not well suited to tank use. Yet the terrain of the Pacific battlefields varied enormously, from the fetid jungles of New Guinea to the rocky coral atolls of the Central Pacific. In many of the critical campaigns of 1944–45, the terrain was suitable for tank use and they became a critical ingredient in the outcome of the fighting. This book examines the largest single armored clash of the Pacific War – on Luzon in the Philippines in January–February 1945. This was the only time that the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) committed an entire armored division against American or British forces.

  • Research Progress of Cryogenic Materials for Storage and Transportation of Liquid Hydrogen
    metals Review Research Progress of Cryogenic Materials for Storage and Transportation of Liquid Hydrogen Yinan Qiu 1,2,*, Huan Yang 3, Lige Tong 1 and Li Wang 1 1 School of Energy and Environmental Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] (L.T.); [email protected] (L.W.) 2 State Key Laboratory of Technologies in Space Cryogenic Propellants, Beijing 100028, China 3 Beijing Institute of Tracking and Communication Technology, Beijing 100094, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel./Fax: +86-13811629985 Abstract: Liquid hydrogen is the main fuel of large-scale low-temperature heavy-duty rockets, and has become the key direction of energy development in China in recent years. As an important application carrier in the large-scale storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen, liquid hydrogen cryogenic storage and transportation containers are the key equipment related to the national defense security of China’s aerospace and energy fields. Due to the low temperature of liquid hydrogen (20 K), special requirements have been put forward for the selection of materials for storage and transporta- tion containers including the adaptability of materials in a liquid hydrogen environment, hydrogen embrittlement characteristics, mechanical properties, and thermophysical properties of liquid hy- drogen temperature, which can all affect the safe and reliable design of storage and transportation containers. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to systematically master the types and properties of cryogenic materials for the development of liquid hydrogen storage and transportation Citation: Qiu, Y.; Yang, H.; Tong, L.; containers.

  • Increased US Military Sales to China: Arguments
    / Report No. 81-121 F INCREASED U.S. MILITARY SALES TO CHINA: ARGUMENTS AND ALTERNATIVES by Robert G. Sutter Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division May 20, 1981 UA 15 U.S. The Congressional Research Service works exclusively for the Congress, conducting research. anal) zing le@slation, and providing information at the request of committees, klem- bers, and their staffs. The Service makes such research available, without parti- san bias, in many forms including studies, reports, compila- tions, digests, and background briefings. Upon request, CRS assists committees in analyzing legislative proposals and issues, and in assessing the possible effects of these proposals and their alternati~es.The Serkice's senior specialists and subject ana1)sts are also available for personal consultations in their respective fields of expertise. ABSTRACT This study examines the current debate in the United States over proposals for increased U.S. military sales to China. The study first examines the back- ground of U.S.-China security ties since the Nixon Administration, and then sets forth the parameters of the current debate by noting a number of issues concerning U.S. military transfers to China on which all sides generally agree. It shows that Americans familiar with the issue tend to identify with different groups of opinion or "schools of thought" on the question of U.S. military transfers to China, and provides a detailed pro-con analysis of the issue. It concludes by noting cross pressures that are likely to greet U.S. policy makers as they grapple with this issue in the months ahead and offers an assessment of four policy options of possible use by U.S.

  • Understanding the Development of Think Tanks in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Japan
    Understanding the Development of Think Tanks in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Japan Patrick Köllner, GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies and University of Hamburg Xufeng Zhu, Tsinghua University Pascal Abb, GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies Abstract Many new think tanks have emerged in East Asia in recent decades. The region is home to highly diverse and in some cases very vibrant environments for think-tank development. While there are some commonalities among think tanks in East Asia in terms of the models used at the time of their establishment, there is no uniform pattern of think-tank development in the region that can be traced back to the operations of developmental states. This Special Issue explores the driving forces of and the challenges to think-thank development in three specific East Asian settings: Mainland China, Taiwan, and Japan. In particular, the experience with think-tank development in Mainland China raises the necessity of reconsidering prevailing conceptions that think tanks can only prosper in democracies and when they are independent of the government. Two broad conclusions emerge from this Special Issue. First, the contributions emphasize that context matters for think-tank development and, more specifically, that national think-tank sectors are greatly influenced by the particular political context in which they exist. Second, the contributions show not only that the specific political context factors that impact the trajectories and traits of East Asian think-tank sectors vary between countries but also that they operate at different interactive levels: (a) at the level of the inter- and transnational context within which think-tank sectors develop; (b) at the level of domestic governmental systems and their openness to external policy advice and other think-tank services; and (c) at the level of individual political leaders interested in engaging with think tanks.

    CHINA’S BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE AND ITS IMPACT IN CENTRAL ASIA Marlene Laruelle, editor Washington, D.C.: The George Washington University, Central Asia Program, 2018 www.centralasiaprogram.org China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in September 2013 at Nazarbayev University. It is therefore natural that, for its launch, the NAC-NU Central Asia Studies Program, in partnership with GW’s Central Asia Program, seeks to disentangle the puzzle of the Belt and Road Initiative and its impact on Central Asia. Selected from over 130 proposals, the papers brought together here ofer a complex and nuanced analy- sis of China’s New Silk Road project: its aims, the challenges facing it, and its reception in Central Asia. Combining methodological and theoretical approaches drawn from disciplines as varied as economics and sociology, and operating at both micro and macro levels, this collection of papers provides the most up-to-date research on China’s BRI in Central Asia. It also represents the frst step toward the creation of a new research hub at Nazarbayev University, aiming to forge new bonds between junior, mid-career, and senior scholars who hail from diferent regions of the world and belong to diferent intellectual traditions.
