GIEC aims at the national energy strategic demands, faces to international energy science foreland and do overall and strategic research. Mostly GIEC investigates the bottleneck restricting domestic renewable energy industry, develops core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and explores domestic energy sustainable development theory and mode. GIEC will be built as domestic top-ranking base of science research innovation, training person with ability, and high-tech industry radiation. It also supplies theory instruction and technology support for Chinese sustainable energy..

　　　According to basic principles of combining upriver and downriver, long-term and short-term, plane development and point development, traditional subject and new subject, acceptance and rejection, GIEC optimizes science research fields and relates to new and renewable energy, energy saving and environmental protection, energy strategy. At present, there are six research centers in GIEC, including energy strategy research center, biomass energy research center, natural gas hydrate research center, non-carbon energy research center, applied fundament research center, and technology integration engineering cente
