Reflection and Proposals on International Energy Cooperation in China

Abstract:

This paper analysis on the international energy security situation and the energy consumption characteristics, and the proposals on international energy cooperation in China are put forward. With the sustained growth of energy consumption, fragile price system, intense conflict of energy politics, serious problems of energy and environment, the international energy security situation had been not optimistic. Due to the characteristics like large consumption, rapid growth, coal-based energy structure, low energy efficiency, high dependence on imports, serious environmental problems, increasing use of new energy and renewable energy, fruitful but troubled energy saving, required China to participate in international energy cooperation widely. In China international energy cooperation should be based on the principle of mutual benefit, technology sharing and dialogue & consultation, to ensure the conventional energy supply as fundamental goal, to develop and utilize new energy & renewable energy as direction, to establish energy-themed dialogue & communication as important pathway.
