文摘Worldwide primary energy consumption is entering an era of pluralism and high quality under the influence of rapid economic development, increasing energy shortage and strict environmental policies. Although renewable energy technology is developing rapidly, fossil fuels （coal, oil and gas） are still the dominant energy sources in the world. As a country rich in coal but short of oil and gas, China＇s oil imports have soared in the past few years. Government, research organizations and enterprises in China are paying more and more attention to the processes of converting coal into clean liquid fuels. Direct and indirect coal liquefaction technologies are compared in this paper based on China＇s current energy status and technological progress not only in China itself but also in the world.
