Abstract
We construct new conserved quasi-local energies in general relativity using the formalism developed by \cite{CWY}. In particular, we use the optimal isometric embedding defined in \cite{yau,yau1} to transplant the conformal Killing fields of the Minkowski space back to the surface of interest in the physical spacetime. For an asymptotically flat spacetime of order , we show that these energies are always finite. Their limit as the total energies of an isolated system is evaluated and a conservation law under Einsteinian evolution is deduced.
