List China's major energy sources, indicating reserves, approximate prices, annual consumption and other indicators

China's total natural resources ranked seventh in the world, the total energy resources of about 40,000 tons of standard coal ranked third in the world. China's coal reserves of 10024.9 billion tons, but only 89.3 billion tons of fine recoverable reserves, oil resources of 93 billion tons, natural gas resources of 38 trillion cubic meters, now the proven oil and natural gas reserves account for only about 20% of the resources and about 6%, only enough to mine for decades; coalbed methane resources of 35 trillion cubic meters, equivalent to 45 billion tons of standard coal, ranked the world's third, but has not been developed on a large scale. Coalbed methane resources are 35 trillion cubic meters, equivalent to 45 billion tons of standard coal, ranking third in the world, but have not yet been developed and utilized in scale. Therefore, China's conventional energy resources are not abundant, should establish a correct "resource consciousness", and have the corresponding "sense of worry".

China's renewable energy resources are abundant, but China's large population, energy resources are relatively scarce. China's population accounts for 20% of the world's total population; proven coal reserves account for 11% of the world's reserves, crude oil accounts for 2.4%, natural gas accounts for only 1.2%. The per capita share of energy resources is less than half of the world average, and oil is only one tenth. China has become the world's third largest energy producer and second largest energy consumer. In 1998, China's primary energy production was 1.24 billion tons of standard coal, and energy consumption was 1.36 billion tons of standard coal (excluding 200 million tons of standard coal consumed by rural non-commodity living energy), which is about 10% of the world's energy consumption; the per capita energy consumption is only 1.165 tons of standard coal, which ranks 89th in the world, and is less than half of the world's average per capita energy consumption of 2.4 tons of standard coal, and 1/5 to 1/1 of the developed countries' per capita energy consumption. 1/5 ~ 1/10 of developed countries (Europe and the CIS per capita energy consumption of 5 tons of standard coal, North America per capita energy consumption of more than 10 tons of standard coal). At present, China's per capita power generation installed capacity is only 0.222KW, per capita power generation is 927kwh, about half of the world average, 1/6 ~ 1/10 of the developed countries With the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of the people's living standards, China's annual per capita energy consumption will be increased year by year, and the experts expect that it will reach 2.38 tons of standard coal in 2040, which is equivalent to the current world average, much lower than the developed countries' per capita energy consumption is 5 tons of standard coal, which is equivalent to the world average. current world average, far below the current level of developed countries. The relative lack of per capita conventional energy resources is a limiting factor in China's sustainable economic and social development, especially oil and natural gas.

China's energy production and consumption are basically balanced, but it has been a net energy importer since 1993. It is predicted that the gap between China's future energy supply and demand will become larger and larger. Under the conditions of adopting advanced technology, promoting energy conservation, accelerating the development and utilization of renewable energy, and relying on market forces to optimize the allocation of resources, there will be an energy shortage of about 8% in 2010 and a shortage of about 24% in 2040, of which the oil deficit may be as much as 440 million tons of standard coal. Oil import dependence (the ratio of net imports to consumption) rose from 6.6% in 1995 to 20% in 2000. It is expected to rise to 23 per cent in 2010. Natural gas import dependency was 6% in 2000 and 20% in 2010. The issue of energy security will also be on the agenda
