National Energy Administration: Major countries increase research and application of cutting-edge technologies such as hydrogen energy, solid-state batteries, advanced nuclear power, and marine energy

According to the official WeChat account of the National Energy Administration today, Director of Planning at the National Energy Administration, Ren Yuzhi, stated that technological innovation injects stronger momentum into the development of new quality productivity. Internationally, major countries are strengthening their strategic layout for energy technology, and energy technology innovation has entered a period of intensive activity. Leading nations are increasing research and application of frontier technologies such as hydrogen energy, solid-state batteries, advanced nuclear power, and ocean energy. Artificial intelligence has become a new variable reshaping the international energy landscape, potentially driving systemic changes in energy production, transmission, and consumption methods. Domestically, China’s energy technology has generally entered a key stage of both catching up and leading in certain areas, with a large number of new technologies and industries flourishing. Technologies like new energy and new storage are maintaining a global leading position. However, challenges remain, including insufficient original innovation capabilities, shortcomings in some key core technologies and equipment, and the need to strengthen collaborative innovation among industry, academia, research, and application.
