Energy poverty, one of the major challenges facing the global
energy system, has drawn wide attention from the international
community and academia. As the largest developing country in the
world, China faces a number of challenges in understanding and
resolving the problem of energy poverty. Energy Economics:
Understanding and Interpreting Energy Poverty in China presents a
succinct overview of research on China's Energy Poverty as studied
by the Center for Energy & Environmental Policy Research
(CEEP), Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). Based on the
analytical framework of energy economics, the book summarizes and
refines international energy assessment methods, builds China's
energy poverty measurement and comprehensive evaluation criteria,
and evaluates China's energy poverty from the perspective of time
and space. It goes on to analyze the impact of solid fuel use on
urban and rural residents' health, and review the relationship
between energy poverty and economic development, clean energy
development and energy poverty, as well as climate change and
energy availability. Finally, it summarizes policies and actions to
eliminate energy poverty. This book will provide essential
scientific support for researchers and policy makers dealing with
energy poverty.
As the largest energy consuming country and the second largest oil
importing country, China has been the net importer of all fossil
energy since 2009. With its increasing external energy dependence
year by year, as well as frequent occurrences of oil, coal, and
electricity shortages, the issue of energy security has been
increasingly serious. What is the level of energy security in
China? How might we improve national energy supply security and
reduce energy trade risks? This book sets out a systematic piece of
research which attempts to tackle these hot issues. It starts with
the history of world energy geopolitics and domestic energy
security, focusing on the hot issues of the complexity of the
international energy market, and moves to domestic energy import
trade risks, domestic strategic energy reserve strategies, and the
impact of the energy crisis on domestic economy. Further insights
include the environmental and health effects of energy consumption,
the development potential of renewable energy, energy security
early-warning and contingency plans, and an international
comparison of energy security. The book will be an insightful
resource for researchers and students of energy economics and
energy management. It will also be a helpful support and reference
tool for decision-makers in the energy industry.
