Basic situation of energy production and
consumption
During the ten years from 2006 to
1015, the total energy consumption and total production in our country
maintained a steady trend with rising trend, which was positively correlated
with the gradual increase of China's economic and the continuous rise of the
gross national product（GDP）. At the same time, nationalenergy production has always been below consumption, which meant that inaddition to domestic production, consumption also depended on imports.
The year-on-year growth of total energy production and consumption also remained basically in line with the trend of slowing down. Also, The year-on-year growth rate of energy production in the first five years (2006-1010) was basically higher than the growth rate of consumption. The growth rate slowed down in the next five years (2011-2015)and the growth rate of consumption was gradually higher than that of production.
Energy consumption structure of the type
By the year of 2015, the main typesof energy consumed in China are coal, oil and natural gas as well ashydropower, nuclear power and wind power. As shown in the bar chart above, coalis the most main type of energy consumption in China, accounting for more than50% of the total. Followed by coal is the oil, is also one of the mostimportant sources of energy in the national production. However, consumption ofnatural gas and other clean energy is still relatively small, and there is alot of room for development. All kind of the energy consumptions mentionedabove have maintained a growing trend over the past ten years.
However, it is worth noting that since 2013, the consumption of coal has shown a steady decline, replaced by an increase in the consumption of clean energy such as natural gas, hydro power and nuclear power. With the rapid growth of natural gas consumption, "coal to gas" intensified all over the country. Driven by the relevant measures,the demand for urban gas, power generation gas, industrial fuels and chemical gas for use has all-roundly increased. The energy consumption structure in our country has gradually become more stable and clean.
Energy consumption structure of the industry
In 2015, China's energy consumption was mainly taken up by the three industries and dominated energy consumption.Among them, as a high-energy-consuming industry, industrial (secondary industry)had the highest energy consumption and accounted for about 80% of the total. It fully embodied the pillar role of industry in the national development and also embodied an important supportive role of energy in the economic development.Living energy consumption accounted for 13% of the total. Combined with the data within ten years, its proportion has steadily declined so energy-saving emission reduction worked better implemented in residential life. The primary industry and the tertiary industry for energy demand is relatively small,accounting for about 8%. From 2006 to 2015, China's energy consumption basically maintained this industrial structure.
From 2006 to 2015, the growth rate of energy consumption slowed down and energy conservation and consumption reduction showed a good situation. The energy consumption per unit of GDP continued to drop year-on-year. According to preliminary accounting, in 2015,the national energy consumption per unit of GDP in 2015 was 52.67% lower than that in 2006. With the industrial upgrading, technological innovation initiatives and the call for energy conservation and consumption reduction,China's energy conservation work has achieved initial success. The type of China's economic development is in line with the green economy.
Conclusion
Therefore, based on the energy consumption situation from 2006 to 2015, the energy production and consumption revolution will further stimulate the demand for clean energy. Under the new normal of economic growth shift and tight resource and environment constraints,the green transformation of energy is increasingly urgent. The energy structure readjustment will require the replacement that oil and gas replacing coal and non-fossil fuels to replace fossil fuels. At the same time the optimization and adjustment of energy structure will be greatly enhanced natural gas consumption ratio.
