——能源安全形势严峻。近年来能源对外依存度上升较快，特别是石油对外依存度从本世纪初的32%上升至目前的57%。石油海上运输安全风险加大，跨境油气管道安全运行问题不容忽视。国际能源市场价格波动增加了保障国内能源供应难度。能源储备规模较小，应急能力相对较弱，能源安全形势严峻。
——体制机制亟待改革。能源体制机制深层次矛盾不断积累，价格机制尚不完善，行业管理仍较薄弱，能源普遍服务水平亟待提高，体制机制约束已成为促进能源科学发展的严重障碍。
-- Grave challenges to energy security. The country's dependence on foreign energy sources has been increasing in recent years. In particular, the percentage of imported petroleum in the total petroleum consumption has risen from 32 percent at the beginning of the 21st century to the present 57 percent. Marine transportation of petroleum and cross-border pipeline transmission of oil and gas face ever-greater security risks. Price fluctuations in the international energy market make it more difficult to guarantee domestic energy supply. It will not be easy for China to maintain its energy security since its energy reserves are small and its emergency response capability is weak.
-- Reforms called for current systems and mechanisms. Energy-related systems and mechanisms still suffer from some long-term, deep-rooted problems. The energy pricing mechanism is yet to be perfected, and industrial management is still weak. The overall service level needs to be enhanced. Overall, restraints of the current systems and mechanisms have seriously hindered the rational development of the country's energy industry.
中国能源发展面临的这些问题，是由国际能源竞争格局、中国生产力水平以及所处发展阶段决定的，也与产业结构和能源结构不合理、能源开发利用方式粗放、相关体制机制改革滞后密切相关。中国将大力推动能源生产和利用方式变革，不断完善政策体系，努力实现能源与经济、社会、生态全面协调可持续发展。
二、能源发展政策和目标
中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，面临着发展经济、改善民生、全面建设小康社会的艰巨任务。维护能源资源长期稳定可持续利用，是中国政府的一项重要战略任务。中国能源必须走科技含量高、资源消耗低、环境污染少、经济效益好、安全有保障的发展道路，全面实现节约发展、清洁发展和安全发展。
The above problems challenging China's energy development are a result of the international energy competition, and China's levels of productivity and development, as well as the country's irrational industrial structure and energy mix, extensive development and utilization of energy resources, and sluggish reform of relevant systems and mechanisms. Therefore, China will vigorously promote the transformation of its energy production and utilization modes, continuously improve its energy policy, and strive to achieve a comprehensive, balanced and sustainable development of its energy, economy, society and eco-environment.
II. Policies and Goals of Energy Development
As the largest developing country in the world, China is faced with the daunting tasks of developing its economy, improving its people's livelihood, and building a moderately prosperous society. It is an important strategic task of the Chinese government to maintain long-term, stable and sustainable use of energy resources. China's energy development must follow a path featuring high-tech content, low consumption of resources, less environmental pollution, satisfactory economic returns, as well as security. It is moving towards the objective of economical, clean and secure development.
