The “14th Five-Year Plan” period is a new phase of high-quality energy development in China, and it is expected that by 2025, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will increase to about 20%, and the proportion of non-fossil energy generation will reach about 39%.
China has been the world’s largest energy producer and consumer for many years in a row. “A new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial change is booming, new energy, unconventional oil and gas, advanced nuclear energy, new energy storage, hydrogen energy and other emerging energy technologies are accelerating iteration at an unprecedented speed, becoming the core driver of global energy transformation and change.” Zhang Jianhua, secretary of the party group and director of the National Energy Administration, said that during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, it is urgent to accelerate the advanced energy industry base and modernize the industry chain, and further stimulate the new momentum of energy innovation and development.
The National Energy Administration and the Ministry of Science and Technology recently jointly issued the “14th Five-Year Plan” (hereinafter referred to as “the Plan”), which points out the direction for scientific and technological innovation in the field of energy.
China’s energy technology revolution has achieved milestones
In recent years, with the improvement of the technology level and cost of solar, wind and other non-traditional renewable energy, many countries in the world have accelerated the pace of renewable energy development. The report “Innovation: The Indestructible Torch” released by CICC believes that technological innovation is the core driver for the efficient and low-cost development of China’s energy manufacturing industry, and will also play an important role in driving China to complete its energy transition and achieve energy security.
From a global perspective, green and low-carbon is the main direction of energy technology innovation, and the application of innovation results will focus on the clean and efficient use of fossil energy, large-scale development and utilization of new energy, the safe use of nuclear energy, large-scale energy storage and other key areas. Major countries around the world regard energy technology as a breakthrough in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution, and have formulated various policy measures to seize the high ground of development.
“The energy pattern is undergoing profound changes, and the energy transformation with science and technology innovation as the main line is accelerating.” Du Zhongming, president of the General Electric Power Planning and Design Institute, believes that after the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” and “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” two five-year planning period, China’s energy technology revolution has achieved phased results, innovation capacity has been significantly enhanced, and has achieved a number of ” The world’s first” and “international first”, mastered a number of key core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, the construction of a number of high-quality energy demonstration projects with advanced technical indicators, the promotion of a number of clean and efficient energy equipment products with international competitiveness, has established a more complete clean We have established a relatively complete clean energy equipment manufacturing industry chain, the energy industry chain, supply chain security level is continuously improved.
Scientific research forces and superior resources gather in key energy innovation areas
The National Energy Administration Science and Technology Department, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the person in charge of the Department of High-tech confessed that the level of energy science and technology innovation in China and the world’s energy science and technology powers and leading the energy revolution compared to the inherent requirements of the gap still exists, highlighted in: part of the energy technology and equipment still exists short board; energy technology and equipment long board advantage is not obvious, the energy field original, leading, disruptive technology is less, green low-carbon technology development is difficult to effectively support the green low-carbon energy transition; to promote energy science and technology innovation policy mechanism to be improved.
In view of the problems and shortcomings in the development of energy science and technology, Du Zhongming said, “the plan” put forward the main development goals: “Fourteenth Five-Year” period, the main existing short board technology and equipment in the field of energy to achieve breakthroughs, the formation of a number of new advantages of energy long board technology, energy science and technology innovation system to further improve, energy science and technology innovation will strongly support and lead the high-quality development of the energy industry.
At the same time, the “Plan” in the new energy-based power system construction, nuclear power, fossil energy development and utilization, energy industry digital intelligence and other technical direction also put forward specific development goals, scientific guidance of the industry, academia, research and innovation subjects will be scientific research forces and advantageous resources gathered to the key energy technology innovation areas.
Promote the strong combination of superior enterprises to break through the key core technology
Relevant research shows that the “14th Five-Year Plan” period is a new stage of high-quality energy development in China, energy security will be further enhanced, the level of green and low-carbon development will be further improved, the construction of new power systems will be accelerated, and the level of modernization of the energy industry chain will be significantly improved. It is expected that by 2025, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will increase to about 20%, and the proportion of non-fossil energy generation will reach about 39%.
Du Zhongming said, in the face of the new situation, new goals, “planning” in the construction of innovation path, not continue the “12th Five-Year” and “13th Five-Year” preparation ideas, but fully connected with the “14th Five-Year” period of energy development characteristics, breaking the “planning” thematic study of professional limitations, focus on the urgent need to break through the technological innovation problems, around advanced renewable energy, new power systems, safe and efficient nuclear energy, green and efficient fossil energy development and utilization, energy digital intelligence, etc., to determine the relevant centralized research, demonstration trials and application tasks, the deployment of relevant demonstration projects in the form of columns, and the development of a technology roadmap.
It is worth mentioning that in terms of stimulating the vitality of the main body of innovation, the Plan emphasizes the enterprise as the main line. “Energy central enterprises have been playing a leading role in promoting China’s energy science and technology innovation, and are the leading players in the implementation of China’s major energy innovation projects.” Du Zhongming said, “Planning” proposed to give full play to the central enterprises in the field of energy as the main force to tackle the shortcomings of technology and equipment, the original technology curator and the role of the modern industrial chain “chain length”, to promote the strength of enterprises in various fields of strength, breakthroughs to enhance the level of energy industry chain modernization of key core technologies.
