1952年以来，伴随经济快速发展，我国能源消费已从自给有余状态发展至国际化阶段。能源消费总量持续增长，消费结构不断演进，单位产出能耗有所改善，能源消费带来的碳排放问题日益凸显，产出效率与发达国家相比差距还很明显。从可持续发展的角度考虑，未来我国能源消费应坚持“源头控制”“效率优先”“整体协调”的发展原则。
With the rapid development of economy，China’s energy consumption has experienced from ‘self-supply’ to ‘global-supply’，which is due to the increase of the energy consumption. The structure and the efficiency of energy consumption are improving. However，there are still problems to be solved，such as the uncoordinated spatial distribution，increasing carbon emission and low output efficiency and so on. In the future，quantity-control from the source，efficiency-oriented use style，and overall consideration planning could be the way to the sustainable energy development in China.
