Energy Efficiency and Conservation
High energy intensity and large consumption are the fundamental situation of China, so it is essential to analyze the characteristics of the trend in energy efficiency, explore the potential of energy conservation in energy sectors, and simulate the effects of energy conservation policies. The following research agenda addresses this area:

——Assessment of energy efficiency of key energy intensive sectors

——Regional energy efficiency assessment

——Simulation of energy conservation policies

——Residential consumption behavior and energy conservation

——Road mapping of energy substitution

         Energy and Economic Growth
Energy is the engine of economic growth. In recent years, China’s rapid economic growth has been accompanied with energy consumption sharply increasing. How much is the energy demand of future sustainable economy? What’s the role of public policy in shaping the path of the economy

       Energy Market
The increasing dependence on oil imports brings with a deep impact of international crude oil prices on China’s economic growth. It also speeds up the process of domestic oil pricing mechanism reform. CEEP investigates the following issues in energy market:

Energy, Environment and Health

The regional and global environment problems have been caused by the use of fossil fuel, and negative impact on public health. The following issues around energy, environment and health are being studied

Energy Security

Energy security emerged under the backdrop of complex geopolitics of world energy issues and high oil price, which directs CEEP to undertake the following research:

Methodology for Energy Policy Modeling

Based on the empirical issues in energy and environmental policy research, CEEP also takes great efforts to develop models, approaches and tools which are fundamental to studies in
