壹、發展重點／策略
一、產官學研之發展策略
（一）強化各單位或機構之分工機能與互補聯繫
政府經建單位應體認石化工業實為我國現階段及可見未來的化工產業基石，應宣示繼續積極開拓石化產業。有關環境生態等之障礙，則應從現在開始即應投入部份資源強化綠色製造之研發。
（二）增加研發資源投入強化科研
1. 積極投入產品設計與開創新產品以增加產品經濟效益，創造利基。
2. 研發前瞻核心製程技術蓄積產業核心技術之基礎並培育人才。
二、重點投入發展關鍵技術與新產品
（一）尖端觸媒與反應。
（二）精密化學品與製程。
（三）尖端程序技術。
三、重點投入發展新產品與關鍵技術（續）--- 執行策略
（一）鼓勵廠商藉由自行研發或經濟部科專自國外引進成熟之關鍵技術使成為本土技術。
（二）輔導廠商研發新產品與前瞻關鍵核心技術並開發其應用。
（三）大型之產學合作計畫應由廠商主導，投入人員與物力經由經濟部專案提出，另由國科會結合並補助所需學校人力與資源形成配合計畫投入鼓勵各研發專案針對創新關鍵技術建立專利領土(Map)，確保領先或作為技術引進之談判籌碼。
貳、優先發展項目
一、前瞻之化工技術，包括：
（一）化工製程之 3R（reduction, reuse and recycle）。
（二）環境污染物質處理技術。
（三）綠色化學技術。
（四）省能源之化工製程技術及清淨能源的研發。
（五）多階化學工程及應用（Practices of Multi-scale Chemical Engineering）。
1. Development Focus/Strategy
I. Development strategy for industry, government and academia
(1) Strengthen the division of labor function and complementary link of units and institutes
Government units in charge of economic construction should recognize that the petrochemical industry is the foundation of the chemical engineering industry at this time and in the foreseeable future. The government should advocate continued active effort in petrochemical development. With respect to environmental and ecological hurdles, part of the resources should be devoted to the development of green processing from the start.
(2) Strengthen scientific research and increase research funding
a. Actively engage in product design and new product development in order to boost economic benefits and create profits.
b. Develop forward-looking core processing technologies in order to build a core technology base for the industries and to educate workers.
II. Invest in selected key technologies and new products
(1) Leading-edge catalysts and processes
(2) Precision chemicals and processes
(3) Leading-edge program technology
III. Invest in selected new products and key technologies (Continued) – Implementation strategy
(1) Encourage the manufacturers to engage in independent development or to converted mature technologies imported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs into key domestic technologies.
(2) Counsel the manufacturers in the development of new products and core technologies and develop their applications.
(3) Large-scale industry-academia cooperation projects should be led by the manufacturers. Personnel and material resources should be proposed under the special projects of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. A matching project should be set up in cooperation with the National Science Foundation to supplement the schools with personnel and material resources. The various special development projects should be encouraged to establish a patent domain (Map) for the innovative key technologies to ensure the leadership position or as a negotiation chip for technology introduction.
2. Priority Development Projects
I. Forward-looking chemical engineering technologies, including:
(1) The three Rs of chemical manufacturing (Reduction, Reuse, and Recycle)
(2) Pollutant treatment technology
(3) Green chemical technology
(4) Development of energy-saving chemical manufacturing technologies and clean energies
(5) Practices of multi-scale chemical engineering
