Abstract: Three challenges facing Chinese energy chemical industry，the insufficient supply of domestic petroleum，the decreasing trend of crude oil quality，and the increasing pressure of environment protection，were analyzed. The sustainable development of Chinese energy chemical industry should require integrated utilization of resource，high efficiency conversion of inferior oil and coal，cleaner production and process，utilization of overseas natural gas and oil sand，and developing new raw material.
