Abstract

The strategic oil reserve is very important for every large country in the world. In order to meet the basic requirement of the state safety, 3 months strategic oil reserve in every large country was proposed by the different international organizations such as UN, EU, etc. For China, the total amount of strategic oil reserve must be up to about 30 to 90 millions. It is very difficult to achieve it without enormous capita in short time. Based on a new conception as "function reserve" to replenish the "resource reserve", this goal could be more easy to be accomplished.Namely, storing more methanols replaces some percentage of oil. Moreover, the state safety should be ensured. This topic is discussed in the article in detail.
