Abstract

Abstract: Under the background of low-carbon economic transition accelerated worldwide, scientific and technological innovation has become a key engine for energy industrial transition. Focusing on the three main trends--sustainable oil and gas development, green and low-carbon energy transition and intelligent energy, this article discusses the situation and challenges facing development of oil, gas and new energy scientific and technological innovation. It also elaborates that oil and gas technology is developing in four directions--ultra-macro, ultra-micro, ultra-harsh environment and cross-disciplinary areas while new energy technology is developing in the multi-element, high-efficiency, large-scale and low-cost directions. In addition,digital and intelligent technology also empowers traditional oil and gas industrial transition and upgrading as well as intelligent development of new energy industry. This article focuses on three main challenges--the characteristics of oil, gas and new energy scientific and technological innovation and oil and gas industrial transition and upgrading, new energy industrial innovation and development, and in-depth digital and intelligent transition. It also looks into the 10 key energy technologies which are hopeful to be put into commercialized application in the upcoming three decades, and comes up with the suggestions related to promotion of energy scientific and technological innovation. Those suggestions include higher governmental investment in scientific research, enhancement of collaboration among industry, universities and research institutes, perfection of the laws and regulations, protection of intellectual property rights, promotion of international exchange, fostering of cross-disciplinary talents,and launch of the demonstration projects. Scientific and technological innovation not only holds the key to meeting global climatic changes but also works as an strategic option to improve the national competitiveness and secure energy supplies.Sustainable innovation is the only way to ensure high-quality energy industrial development and help establish the clean, lowcarbon,safe and high-efficiency modern energy system.

Key words: scientific and technological innovation; oil and gas technology; new energy; digital and intelligent; carbon neutrality
