Study on Energy Structure and Energy Security in Inner Mongolia

Abstract

The status of the energy structure, the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth, the relationship between energy consumption and ecological environment in Inner Mongolia were analyzed. The study of energy structure in Inner Mongolia found out that coal accounts for a larger proportion of the energy structure in Inner Mongolia and Inner Mongolia's energy structure is unsafe. The main problem of energy security in Inner Mongolia is the large number of exploitation and use of coal and other fossil energy, it will pose a huge threat to ecological environment. The correlation analysis of the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth found out that there is a high positive correlation between economic growth and energy consumption, the formulation and implementation of energy policies in Inner Mongolia will have a greater impact on economic growth. This unreasonable energy structure has brought great pressure on energy security, economic development and environmental governance. Paper also gives some advices and proposals on optimizing energy structure and ensuring energy security.
