Energy represents the foundation of BRICS economic and social development，and the key to energy security is STI. As emerging developing countries，BRICS countries are lagging far behind developing countries in terms of energy technology. China has made outstanding achievements in energy technology in recent years，while Russia，Brazil，India and South Africa all have their own national conditions，energy endowment and strengths. As energy technology is a priority area of BRICS countries，we must strengthen coordinated innovation to build up an open，coordinated and sustainable global energy technology system.
