The sustainable energy·resources R&D system should be established for solving the domestic energy·resources problem at this point when the natural resources nationalism have pressed the global economy. Until now, domestic energy·resources R&D projects had been splitted in three fields and there was no systematic management. In January 2005, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE) started the energy·resources R&D task force in order to systematically manage the energy·resources R&D projects at the planning stage. This task force team established a ten-year period of the national basic plan for energy·resources R&D to increase the national competitiveness in energy·resources fields. This basic plan contains the four strategies which support the fundamental technologies in 108 fields and the systematic R&D system for the innovative development in energy·resources industry.
