The Shandong Energy Institute (SEI) was cofounded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the provincial government of Shandong and the municipal government of Qingdao on January 2020.The constructions of SEI rely on Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), CAS.  

SEI aims to seize the commanding heights of international energy technology competition, support the development of a national energy innovation system, and raise the energy technology innovation ability of Shandong Province. 

This is the development trend of Shandong Province facing international and domestic energy. Also, it is a significant strategic initiatives proposed by Shandong Province for the conversion of new and old kinetic energy.  

Orientation and Target
