Title: Energy Economics: Understanding Energy Security in China 
Provider-Name: Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research (CEEP), Beijing Institute of Technology
Abstract: This book provides a systematic analysis of ChinaÕs energy security under the context of globalization, rapid industrialization, and increasing dependence on international energy trade. Energy security is defined not only as reliable, affordable, and uninterrupted energy supply, but also as the sustainable use of energy without damaging the ecological environment. The book examines the evolution of global energy geopolitics, international energy markets, and ChinaÕs changing role in global energy trade. It focuses on major issues including oil price volatility, energy import and transportation risks, strategic energy reserves, renewable energy development, energy-saving policies, energy poverty, environmental and public health impacts of energy consumption, and the macroeconomic consequences of energy crises. Using quantitative analysis and energy-economic modeling approaches, the book evaluates ChinaÕs energy security from both supply security and energy use security perspectives. Comparative studies with major economies such as the United States, Germany, Japan, and India are also conducted. The research aims to provide policy insights and decision-making support for improving ChinaÕs long-term energy security and sustainable energy development.
