What are the characteristics of China's energy structure?

China's energy structure is characterized by diversification, but fossil energy is dominant. As the main energy source in China, coal has always occupied an important position. However, with the country's emphasis on environmental protection and the adjustment of energy structure, China is gradually turning to a cleaner and more sustainable energy development path.

On the one hand, China is vast in territory, rich in natural resources and rich in traditional fossil energy such as coal and oil, which provides a solid foundation for China's energy supply. However, the widespread use of these fossil fuels has also brought serious environmental problems, such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

On the other hand, China is also actively developing renewable energy. In recent years, China has made remarkable progress in the fields of solar energy, wind energy and hydropower. With the progress of technology and the appearance of scale effect, the power generation cost of these renewable energy sources is gradually reduced and their competitiveness is increasingly enhanced. At the same time, the state has also introduced a series of policies and measures to encourage the development of renewable energy and promote the optimization of energy structure.

In addition, China is actively exploring the development and utilization of new energy sources such as nuclear energy and geothermal energy. As an efficient and clean energy source, nuclear energy has great development potential. Geothermal energy, as a clean and renewable energy form, has also attracted much attention.
