Characteristics of China's energy structure and use

Characteristics of China's energy structure and use are as follows:

1. For a certain period of time, China's energy structure will still be dominated by coal, but in terms of the supply trend, the non-renewable nature of coal and the destructive nature of the environment have determined that the share of coal in China's energy structure will gradually decrease. Coal is an inferior energy source among conventional energy sources such as oil, natural gas and hydro energy.

2. The self-sufficiency rate of oil and gas is decreasing, the demand gap is growing, and the supply of oil and gas will rely more on imports.

3, the proportion of water resources in China's energy structure will decline, the development of space is limited. China's total water resources are very rich, the total amount of the world's first, but the per capita resources are not rich, uneven distribution of resources. With the rapid growth of China's energy consumption, the proportion of hydropower in the energy structure will decline.

4. The proportion of clean renewable resources in China's energy structure will rise, and nuclear power will become one of the main sources of energy to replace coal power, with great potential for development.

Solar, wind, ocean and geothermal energy and other new energy sources are clean renewable energy, but from the current level of utilization of technology, it is difficult to provide large-scale stable industrial power in the near future

Introduction of traditional energy:

Once the energy that has been able to produce on a large scale and widely utilized. Also known as conventional energy sources. Such as coal, oil, natural gas, and water, are the main sources of energy for social progress and civilization.

When discussing energy issues, it mainly refers to conventional energy. New energy is systematically developed and utilized on the basis of new technologies, such as solar energy, wind energy, ocean energy, geothermal energy, etc. Compared with conventional energy, new energy is produced on a smaller scale and used in a narrower range.

The division of conventional energy and new energy is relative. Nuclear fission energy, for example, in the early 1950s when it began to be used to produce electricity and used as power, is considered a new energy. By the 1980s, many countries around the world have listed it as a conventional energy source.

Solar and wind energy is utilized in the history of many centuries earlier than the nuclear fission energy, due to the need for systematic research and development in order to improve the utilization efficiency and expand the scope of use, so they are still included in the new energy.

Conventional energy reserves are limited.
