Coal, petroleum and natural gas are the three main sources of fossil energy. This paper classified fossil energy sources as eco-assets. Using ecological economics, it was calculated that the cumulative emergy wastage of fossil energy sources in China from 1953 to 2006 was 7.08 times 1025sej. This paper considered agricultural residue to be a substitute for fossil energy sources. The results showed...
