Abstract

The social development and standard of living are closely connected with the energy consumption; so energy is extremely important for the modern society. In the last two centuries, the energy used for production and living was mainly generated from fossil fuels. In the nineteenth century, the main energy source was coal; while in the twentieth century, petroleum and natural gas played the dominant role. From 1980s, the distribution of the energy supply is relatively stable.
