On August 26, reports surfaced indicating that the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government had recently issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Strategic Emerging Industries in Shanghai. This comprehensive plan outlines a series of innovative application demonstrations for new energy storage and green fuels. Specifically, it calls for the advancement of demonstration bases designed for comparative testing of various technology routes, such as solid-state batteries, and the deployment of multi-megawatt independent energy storage demonstration power stations.

Simultaneously, the plan accelerates the establishment of the Shanghai International Shipping Green Fuel Certification and Bunkering Center. It also encourages application demonstrations in industrial settings, including hydrogen energy storage backup power supplies.

The plan further delineates several key development areas:

• First, next-generation energy storage technologies, focusing on breakthroughs in long-duration energy storage solutions, such as all-solid-state batteries and flow batteries.
• Second, wind power equipment, with an emphasis on promoting the development and demonstration applications of deep-sea floating wind turbines.
• Third, photovoltaic equipment, advancing technologies for high-efficiency heterojunction and perovskite solar cells, and developing offshore floating photovoltaic equipment.
• Fourth, advanced nuclear energy, which involves continuing to promote the independent control and large-scale construction of third-generation nuclear power equipment, as well as planning for fourth-generation nuclear power and other cutting-edge technologies.
• Fifth, gas turbines, with a focus on advancing breakthroughs and commercial applications of hydrogen-blended combustion technologies for industrial gas turbines.
• Sixth, power transmission and distribution equipment, promoting the development and industrialization of equipment such as ultra-high voltage transformers.
