Extensive using energy is an important characteristic of modern civilization, and not only promotes the development of human civilization, but also gives human several big challenges. And the issues of energy have become a very important problem influencing the development of economy and society. After several shocks of energy crisis, all the top nations of the world put energy security as an important part of the nation security strategy. Energy security is the most important part of the nation security system, in the time of economy globalization, nation security reflects in the keeping the speed and stable of economy development, and keeping energy security is an important assurance of economy and society sustainable development.The energy security is that in the reasonable price level, the quantity and quality of energy can ensure economy and society sustainable development, and the hazards of using energy in producing can be bear. This paper analyzes the connotation and denotation of energy security, the contents of keeping energy security, the characteristics of energy security situation in economy globalization, the relationships in energy security, economy security and nation security, how to study the energy security in the background of world economic integration. Conventional energy sources will be used up; people have to rely on the new energy sources finally, so the paper emphasizes the role of new energy sources in energy security.The paper analyzes the energy security strategy of the main nations of energy producing and consuming in the world, selects representative nations having the similar energy endowment with China, such as USA and EU, the nations neighboring China and providing energy to China, such as Russia and Japan, and compares the differences of energy security environment and strategy in different nations. Though the comparison, China can learn international experiences help make out energy security strategy.Since reform and opening up, in 30 years, China was developing rapidly, and now has the second largest GDP in the world. At the same time, the dependence to energy is becoming greater and greater. In 2010, China's energy consuming is equal to USA's. The hidden dangers in China energy security includes: the efficiency of energy using is low; the structure of energy using is unreasonable, relying to coal too much; dependence on foreign oil has been up to 55% in2010. Now China is in the period of rapid industrialization and urbanization, with the people life level improving, the dependence on energy will continuously increase. Keeping China energy security will face complex home and abroad situation, the paper gives suggestions to China energy security system construction, such as adjusting industrial structure more quickly to improve energy using efficiency, perfecting energy market system construction to bring out reasonable price, transferring risks though oil futures market, perfecting energy reserve system construction to release the harm of energy security in short time, keeping China energy transportation corridor safe by comprehensive measures, strengthening energy bilateral and multilateral cooperation to keep energy supplydiversity, strengthening energy cooperation with international energy organization tokeep the world energy security. In particular, exploiting new energy sources is veryimportant to China economy and society, so it is necessary to exploit new energysources.
