China is intensifying its efforts to import liquefied natural gas from Russia, despite the ongoing sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union. As part of these efforts, China has begun developing a fleet of ships designed to transport the super-cooled fuel, with the aim of circumventing international sanctions that prevent direct shipments of Russian LNG to Western markets.
The growing need for energy security and a steady supply of LNG has driven China to explore alternative ways to obtain natural gas, as it faces increasing pressure from energy demand and geopolitical challenges. With European nations largely cutting ties with Russia due to the conflict in Ukraine, China sees an opportunity to secure more of Russia’s vast natural gas reserves. However, the US and EU sanctions, which prohibit companies from providing services and equipment that facilitate the transportation of Russian LNG, have posed significant barriers to the direct importation of Russian gas.
To sidestep these restrictions, China is reportedly building a “shadow fleet” of vessels—tanker ships capable of transporting LNG without being registered under the jurisdictions of Western countries. These ships are often equipped with modified technologies and reflagged to nations that do not enforce the same sanctions as Western powers. Experts suggest this new fleet could potentially enable China to bypass regulatory hurdles and enhance its access to Russia’s energy exports.
This development comes amidst growing concerns about energy supply in both Russia and China. For Russia, the loss of its traditional European export markets has accelerated the search for new buyers in Asia. China, with its vast and growing energy demands, has become the ideal partner for Russia, with both nations keen to deepen their trade relations in the energy sector.
In recent months, reports from various trade bodies and maritime sources have indicated that Chinese shipping companies have begun to work closely with Russian counterparts to facilitate these energy exchanges. According to analysts, these operations are being conducted with the support of intermediaries who play a critical role in enabling the shipment of Russian gas to China. These intermediary companies typically operate under the radar, helping to shield the true origins of the LNG shipments from scrutiny.
The expansion of this fleet raises important questions about the international regulatory landscape and the extent to which sanctions can be effectively enforced in an increasingly interconnected global economy. While Western powers have imposed sanctions on Russia’s energy exports, many analysts argue that their impact has been diluted by countries like China and India, who have continued to purchase Russian energy despite the restrictions.
The move to build a shadow fleet also highlights the growing divide in global energy politics. As Western nations look to reduce their dependency on Russian energy, China has emerged as a key player in filling the gap. With this increasing trade of Russian LNG to China, there are indications that both countries are fortifying their positions in the global energy market, positioning themselves as key energy suppliers to the global south.
China’s energy imports from Russia are also seen as a key component of the broader geopolitical shifts that have been underway in recent years. By continuing to build its energy relationship with Russia, China is further diversifying its sources of energy, ensuring that it has a reliable and growing supply of natural gas that is less susceptible to the fluctuations of the global market. This is especially important as China seeks to meet its ambitious energy and industrial goals in the coming decades.
The logistical complexities of importing LNG are considerable, and China’s efforts to expand its shadow fleet reflect the nation’s determination to secure a more consistent energy supply. These vessels, which are currently being constructed and modified, will be able to bypass many of the traditional channels through which Western powers exert control over Russian energy exports. This represents a significant shift in the global LNG market, with China positioning itself as a key recipient of Russian energy.

A new initiative unveiled by the Dubai Future Foundation in collaboration with the MIT Senseable City Lab presents a data-intensive approach to urban greenery by applying artificial intelligence to evaluate the cooling effect of trees in multiple global cities. The project, named “Re-Leaf”, harnesses satellite imagery, street-level visuals and thermal data across locations such as Dubai, Amsterdam, Los Angeles and Rome to measure how trees can function as natural cooling infrastructure.
Re-Leaf reveals that shade and evapotranspiration from trees can reduce local surface temperatures by up to 15 °C compared with surrounding paved or built areas. One key finding is that drought-resistant species such as neem trees outperform more commonly planted palms in arid urban environments. DFF described the work as a shift in treating urban vegetation “as essential infrastructure for the cities of tomorrow”.
The initiative emerges under the banner of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, curated by Carlo Ratti, in which Re-Leaf features as a special project. The exhibit presents city-scale “skyscraper-like” visualisations that depict greenery levels across the participating cities, with taller towers indicating higher vegetation cover.
Dubai’s establishment of the first Middle East-based Senseable City Lab via DFF provides a focal point for this research. The lab, working in partnership with MIT, developed the algorithms and datasets behind the project. From a strategic perspective, the work aligns with Dubai’s ambition to be an innovation hub and to address the demands of climate-resilient urban planning.
Beyond the headline figure of 15 °C cooling, the dataset comprises more than 2,000 trees across the four cities, allowing comparative analysis of species performance in different climates and urban morphologies. The research team emphasises that while the act of planting trees is well-known, the novelty lies in quantifying their impact using high-resolution AI tools and translating the results into actionable urban design decisions. “In a hotter world, trees must be seen as essential infrastructure, not just decoration,” Ratti said.
Urban planners and environmental scientists are responding to the project by pointing out its potential to shift policy focus from reactive mitigations—such as heavy air-conditioning—to proactive green infrastructure deployment. According to one expert, tree shading and transpiration “are vital for climate-responsive urban design”. For cities in arid or semi-arid zones—where energy use for cooling is high and water scarcity is acute—the findings are particularly relevant. The identification of species that deliver stronger cooling while requiring less water offers practical guidance for future planting strategies.
However, the project also faces scepticism around questions of scalability and implementation cost. Critics ask whether data-rich analyses can translate into large-scale urban forestry programmes in dense built environments, and note that factors such as soil depth, maintenance regimes and tree lifespan require further study. One architecture-critique article raised a broader question: “Do we need AI to confirm that trees cool cities?” highlighting the risk of attending to measurement rather than action.
The choice of cities for analysis – Dubai, Los Angeles, Amsterdam and Rome – reflects a mix of climatic zones and urban typologies, offering the chance to test how vegetation behaves across contexts. Amsterdam, with a temperate maritime climate, provides contrast to Dubai’s arid conditions, while Rome offers a dense historical fabric and Los Angeles a sprawling low-rise geography. Re-Leaf’s catalogue of thousands of tree species and urban cooling maps explicitly aims to support urban designers and policymakers.
For DFF and its partners, integrating tree-cooling metrics into master-planning holds promise beyond aesthetics. The project’s immersive display at Venice functions not only to showcase technology but to prompt debate on how cities invest in nature-based solutions. DFF Director of Dubai Future Labs, Khalifa Al Qama, described the work as generating insights with global value.
