Th　is　paper　presents　life　cycle　fossil　primary　energy　consumption　(FPEC)　and　greenhouse　gas　(GHG)　emission　intensity　of　nine　types　of　dominant　secondary　energy　(SE)　in　China　in　2008.　Three　major　types　of　GHG　(CO2,　CH　4　and　N2O)　are　considered　for　GHG　emissions　intensity　and　the　non-combustion　CH4　leakage　during　the　feedstock　production　sub-stage　is　included.　It　is　found　that:　(1)　the　life　cycle　FPEC　intensities　of　crude　coal,　crude　NG,　crude　oil,　coal,　NG,　diesel,　gasoline,　residual　oil　and　electricity　are　1.055,　1.155,　1.167,　1.172,　1.161,　1302,　1.343,　1.220　and　2.924　MJ　per　MJ　SE　obtained　and　utilized,　respectively;　(2)　their　life　cycle　GHG　emissions　intensities　are　100.5,　68.6,　89.2,　104.5,　72.7,　102.4,　98.9,　102.9　and　289.6　when　the　direct　GHG　emissions　are　included.　The　life　cycle　intensities　of　both　FPEC　and　GHG　emissions　for　SE　in　China　are　higher　than　those　in　the　developed　world　(even　the　world　average)　and　the　main　reasons　include　the　relatively　low　energy　efficiencies　and　the　high　CH4　leakage　levels　during　feedstock　extraction.　©　2011　IEEE.
