Sanctioned Chinese company builds revolutionary natural gas turbine. Who will buy it? Everyone.

Video Description

Aero Engine Corporation of China designed a revolutionary, giant natural gas turbine. At 110 megawatts, it is the largest turbine so far built in China. Only a handful of companies across the world build natural gas turbines, and order backlogs are hitting records amid soaring demand for new electricity. Electrical utilities and power producers currently have a five-year wait on new orders, and place large non-refundable deposits with manufacturers just to get in line to buy. Aero Engine Corp has been under sanction for over five years, so North American and most European buyers cannot place orders for these turbines. But demand across the world is skyrocketing, and Aero Engine will easily find markets.
