"12th Five-Year" energy investment reached 13.5 trillion

In a recent press briefing, the National Energy Administration revealed that total energy sector investment during the 12th Five-Year Plan period is expected to reach 13.5 trillion yuan, with the majority of funding coming from market-based investors. This marks a significant shift in how energy projects are financed, as the government looks to diversify investment sources and reduce reliance on traditional channels. According to officials, the plan emphasizes expanding investment channels and increasing direct participation from energy companies. It also calls for relaxing restrictions on energy investments, promoting a more diverse investment landscape. However, experts argue that true diversification can only be achieved through rationalized energy pricing structures, which remain a critical barrier to broader private and foreign participation. The administration estimates that 8.5 trillion yuan will be invested in energy production capacity, while another 5 trillion yuan will go toward storage, transportation infrastructure, and social welfare projects. A portion of the central budget will specifically target rural grid upgrades, as well as energy innovation and power development in remote areas. To support this vision, the "Plan" highlights the need for closer coordination between credit policies and energy strategies. It encourages the development of innovative financial products and services to facilitate diversified energy investments. At the same time, it aims to broaden business investment channels and increase the role of direct energy company investments. Traditionally, banks have been the primary source of capital for energy projects, with project equity typically accounting for 25% to 30%. But as the scale and number of projects grow, single-channel financing has become insufficient. In recent years, energy companies have increasingly turned to alternative methods such as bonds and other non-traditional financing tools. Lin Boqiang, Director of the China Energy Economic Research Center at Xiamen University, noted that while these alternatives are becoming more active, the main source of funding still relies heavily on traditional channels. He stressed that developing non-domestic funding avenues needs urgent acceleration. Gao Shixian, a researcher at the National Energy Research Institute, agrees that diversifying investment entities is essential to reflect market principles. While progress has been made—such as the West-East Gas Pipeline expansion and shale gas tendering—there's still a long way to go. Currently, over 90% of energy investments are still dominated by state-owned enterprises. Lin Boqiang pointed out that unless energy pricing becomes more transparent and profitable, private capital will remain hesitant to enter the market. Unlike state-owned enterprises, which can absorb losses through subsidies, private firms cannot afford to operate at a loss. Gao Shixian also emphasized that although the energy sector is largely open, funding sources remain limited. The key to unlocking greater investment lies in ensuring that investors see real returns and profitability. With continued policy reforms and market-driven mechanisms, the path to diversified energy investment is gradually being paved.

Powder, Power, and Lithium - ion Battery Field 

In the field of energy power, the improvement of efficiency and the extension of life span have very demanding requirements on material performance and structural design. Silicon carbide ceramic materials outperform most metallic materials in terms of specific stiffness, thermal shock resistance, friction and wear resistance, and thermal conductivity, but they are difficult to machine and cannot be used on a large scale.

FLK has achieved a breakthrough in the manufacturing technology of integrated complex components made of silicon carbide ceramics by using additive manufacturing technology.
High strength, high rigidity, high stiffness, light weight: density 280-3.05g/cm, low energy consumption, good thermal shock resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, compared to metal parts, 3D printed silicon carbide ceramic parts can extend their service life by more than one time, reduce energy consumption, and meet extreme working conditions.
