The Fujian Provincial People's Government recently released the "Fujian Province '15th Five-Year Plan' for Emerging and Future Industries." The plan sets ambitious targets for 2030, including that the output value of strategic emerging industries in the industrial sector will account for approximately 35% of the total output value above a designated size, with a 10% annual increase in R&D spending across all sectors.
It aims to cultivate a trillion-yuan new energy industry cluster, push the new materials industry cluster to exceed 900 billion yuan, and see the integrated circuit and optoelectronics cluster break through 300 billion yuan. The plan also targets the creation of several hundred-billion-yuan industry clusters in areas like artificial intelligence, biomedicine, energy conservation and environmental protection, and the low-altitude economy. Furthermore, it seeks to foster several ten-billion-yuan future industry clusters, including hydrogen and bio-manufacturing, to build a leading, distinctively characterized emerging and future industry system.
The plan outlines a "369" industrial system, aligning with national strategy and leveraging Fujian's unique advantages. It will focus on three major emerging pillar industries: new energy, new materials, and integrated circuits and optoelectronics. Six emerging engine industries will be cultivated: artificial intelligence, smart equipment, biomedicine, marine high-tech, energy conservation and environmental protection, and the low-altitude economy. Nine future industries are also being planned: new types of batteries, hydrogen, nuclear technology applications, brain-computer interfaces, bio-manufacturing, satellites and their applications, sixth-generation mobile communications, embodied intelligence, and quantum technology.
The plan identifies five key tracks for future development: new batteries, hydrogen, nuclear technology applications, brain-computer interfaces, and bio-manufacturing. It emphasizes engineering verification and scenario demonstration to support the large-scale application of innovative products and accelerate the commercialization of cutting-edge technologies. In the hydrogen sector, the plan aims to build a complete "production-storage-transport-refueling-application" chain. In the near term, this will rely on industrial by-product hydrogen, exploring renewable energy-based hydrogen production and launching integrated hydrogen energy application pilots in industry and transportation. The medium-term focus will be on scaling up the production of green hydrogen from clean energy, building out the production and refueling infrastructure for hydrogen-based green fuels, and expanding hydrogen's diverse applications. The long-term vision is to forge distinctive "ammonia-to-hydrogen" technology pathways and establish a green hydrogen-based fuel production base on the southeastern coast.
Specific hydrogen-related initiatives include new energy vehicles, where the plan targets the development of new energy trucks, mining dump trucks, and hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles, as well as high-end components like rare-earth permanent magnet high-efficiency drive motors, silicon carbide controllers, and wire-controlled chassis. In advanced nuclear energy, the plan leverages nuclear power bases in Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, and Ningde to develop comprehensive nuclear energy utilization and explore the coupling of (ultra) high-temperature gas-cooled reactors with hydrogen production. For new materials, the plan focuses on energy and electronic materials, promoting the high-value development of medium and heavy rare earths for applications in ultra-high-performance neodymium-iron-boron and samarium-cobalt permanent magnets, high-end rare-earth luminescent materials, hydrogen storage materials, and specialty alloys. It also targets advanced structural materials, including hydrogen storage cylinder materials, large-tow and thermoplastic carbon fiber composites, high-performance magnesium and titanium alloys, low-expansion ceramics and glass-ceramics, high-end tungsten-molybdenum cemented carbides, and ultra-high-strength special stainless steel, while also tackling core technologies for high-frequency microwave dielectric ceramics, high-thermal-conductivity aluminum nitride ceramics, ultra-thin flexible glass, and high-generation display glass substrates.
