针对必然会出现的石油资源短缺——后石油时代，分析了含碳能源的利用现状，提出应该认真研究和选择含碳能源的最佳利用途径，改变目前的能源消费结构，减少对石油资源的过渡依赖，并从分析含碳能源的元素组成出发，提出了应充分利用石油资源生产运输燃料和石化原料；合理利用煤炭资源，压缩工业与民用燃料用油；合理利用天然气资源，发展天然气汽车和GTL；充分利用生物质能，生产车用燃料、生物基材料和有机化学品。

In view of the inevitable shortage of oil resources,or a so-called post-oil era,this article analyses the current utilization of carbon-containing energy, calls for a down-to-earth reserch of find the best utilization of carbon-containing energy so as to readiust the current energy consumption pattern and ease the over dependence upon oil resources. The author starts his analysis from the element structure of carbon-containing energy, proposes some suggestions including the full utilization of oil resources to produce transportation furels and petrochemical feedstock, the rational utilization of coal to curb the industrial and civil consumption of fuels, the reasonable utilization of natural gas resources to develop natural-gas-fueled vehicles and GTL,the full utilization of biomass to produce motor fuels, biomaterials and organic chemicals.
