Abstract

The broad meaning of energy security refers to the capability in energy supply for economy and society,energy consumption structure,environmental issues that come after energy consumption and energy trade security.This paper,from 15 indexes which are related to the four aspects above,studies China's energy security.China can keep a self-supply rate of over than 75% before 2040,which gives enough time to adjust the macroscopic energy strategy.Coal holds a higher proportion in China's energy consumption structure,leading to severe environmental issues,especially the emission of greenhouse gas and PM2.5 particle.China has a capacity in paying the net import of energy for a long term.China's energy imports are mostly from the Middle East,so China shall pay attention to the situation of the Middle East such as Iran,and diversify the imports of energy.
