Abstract: Currently, global energy consumption is still based on fossil energy, but non-fossil energy, renewable energy in particular is under rapid development. Global fossil energy resources are generally adequate but production cost varies significantly. Energy consumption growth is slowed down thanks to the balance between the oil and gas market supply and demand. Oil prices are likely to fluctuate at low levels on a long-term basis. Following a high growth stage, China’s energy consumption now enters into an adjustment and conversion stage.The surplus of conventional energy and the hurdle for development of high-quality low-carbon energy are the main contradictions. The direction of global energy development will come under influence of the environment and climatic changes, gradually turning to non-fossil energy. The low-carbon development trend becomes clearer and clearer day by day. Energy saving and reduction of energy consumption remain as the priority area. The energy saving policies and energy efficiency technology are under rapid development. China’s energy growth rate and its total energy consumption are likely to be lower than expected during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. The priority should be continually given to energy saving under the new situation, promoting energy consumption revolution. It is necessary to share the pressure of environmental treatment and carbon emission while acceleratingenergy industrial adjustment, implement structural adjustment in the energy sector in prevention of blind investment and further adjust the investment direction, continually promote rapid development of natural gas and various kinds of non-fossil energy, and accelerate the structural transition of energy to green and low carbon directions.
