Fujian Province

Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition

The Energy Transition in Fujian Province

Fujian Province, located on China's southeastern coast, is rapidly emerging as a critical player in the nation's energy transition. Known for its strategic location and mineral wealth, Fujian produces vital resources such as copper, silver, rare earth elements, tungsten, and gold, which are indispensable for the development of renewable energy technologies, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. The province is committed to achieving a low-carbon future through a combination of policy initiatives and sustainable practices. Key future strategies include accelerating the development of clean energy, with a particular emphasis on offshore wind and nuclear power, while also enhancing the region’s energy infrastructure to integrate renewable sources more effectively. Fujian is focusing on electrification and increasing energy efficiency, aligning with China’s national goals of carbon neutrality by 2060. Additionally, the province is promoting green technologies, fostering innovation, and supporting the transition to sustainable industries. These initiatives position Fujian as an integral part of China’s green energy shift, playing a significant role in the country’s push for environmental sustainability and energy security. By harnessing its critical minerals and investing in the future of clean energy, Fujian is paving the way for a more sustainable and low-carbon economy.
