        The National Bureau of Statistics released energy development eighteen article in China China. The article said, the proportion of coal production continued to reduce the proportion of clean energy and continuous improvement, indicating that China's energy production structure is moving diversification goal of progress; at the same time, energy saving achieved remarkable results, energy production and consumption have undergone tremendous changes.

 

       The article points out, the steady growth of total energy production, the proportion of clean energy production rose. By 2015, the country's total energy production 3.62 billion tons of standard coal, compared with 2012 growth of 3.1% average annual growth of 1%, 5.3 percentage points lower than the 2005-2012 average annual growth rate, maintained a steady growth trend. After which, the raw coal production reached a record 3.97 billion tons in 2013, 2014 and 2015 were reduced to 3.87 billion tons and 37.5 million tons, respectively, down 2.5% and 3.3% over the previous year. By 2015, crude oil production 214.56 million tons, an increase of 3.4% over 2012; the production of 134.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas, an increase of 21.7% over 2012; 5.8106 trillion kwh electricity, an increase of 16.5% over 2012, of which new sources of energy (nuclear power, wind power and other new energy sources) generating 437.5 billion kwh, an increase of 1.3 times over 2012.

 

        In the composition of primary energy production, coal accounted for 72.1%, down 4.1 percentage points from 2012; crude oil accounted for 8.5%, unchanged from 2012, and; natural gas consumption accounted for 4.9%, 0.8 percentage points higher than in 2012; the first electricity and other energy accounts 14.5%, up 3.3 percentage points over 2012. Continue to reduce the proportion of coal production and the proportion of clean energy continues to increase, indicating that China's energy production structure is moving in a wide range of targets continue to move forward.

 

       At the same time, the article states that, effective control of energy consumption, coal consumption declined. By 2015, the country's total energy consumption is 4.3 billion tons of standard coal, an increase of 6.9% compared to 2012, an average annual increase of 2.3%, 4.1 percentage points lower than the 2005-2012 average annual growth rate of total energy consumption growth put slow. After which, the total coal consumption reached 4.24 billion tons in 2013, 2014 and 2015 were reduced to 4.12 billion tons and 3.96 billion tons, decreased by 3.0% and 3.7% over the previous year. By 2015, oil consumption of about 5.5 million tons, an increase of 15.1% over 2012; natural gas consumption of 193 billion cubic meters, up 28.9%; electricity consumption of 5.6 trillion kwh, an increase of 13.9%.

 

        From the energy consumption structure, the proportion of coal consumption decreased significantly increasing the proportion of clean energy; optimize the structure of energy consumption. 2015 coal consumption accounted for 64.0%, down 4.5 percentage points from 2012; oil consumption accounted for 18.1%, 1.1 percentage points higher than in 2012; natural gas consumption accounted for 5.9%, 1.1 percentage points higher than in 2012; the first electricity and other energy consumption It accounted for 12 percent, up 2.3 percentage points higher than in 2012; clean energy consumption accounted for 17.9%, up 3.4 percentage points over 2012.

 

       Secondly, the continuous improvement of energy efficiency, energy saving effect is remarkable. From 2013 to 2015, the national unit of GDP energy consumption reduced by 3.7% over the previous year respectively, 4.8% and 5.6%, a decline year after year expanded 13.5% cumulative reduction, the successful completion of the "second five" emission reduction plan He played a decisive role. In particular in 2015, except for per unit GDP energy consumption per unit GDP power consumption reduced by 6.0% over the previous year, above-scale industrial added value of the unit energy consumption reduced by 8.4% over the previous year, these three indicators were down in 2005 to implement energy consumption constraint management since the largest decline, energy saving effect is very significant.

 

        For comparison, in 2015 the majority of industrial products unit energy consumption decreased significantly over 2012. In the comprehensive energy consumption per unit of product 39 statistical indicators of industrial enterprises in key energy, the index fell more than 85% of 2012. Among them, the coal production unit consumption fell 7.3%, paper and paperboard production and consumption system down 7.5% caustic soda consumption fell 9.0%, consumption fell 4.4% ethylene, ammonia consumption decreased by 3.7%, consumption fell 1.7% calcium carbide, cement consumption fell 4.6%, flat glass consumption fell by 7.9%, energy consumption per ton decreased by 4.4%, copper, aluminum, lead and zinc smelting unit consumption fell 17.6%, respectively, 2.8%, 6.4% and 3.1%, coal consumption of thermal power down 2.4%.

 

        Energy conversion efficiency improved significantly. Compared with 2012, more than 2015 large-scale industrial energy conversion process to improve the overall efficiency of 2.0 percentage points, of which 1.0 percentage point increase thermal, cogeneration, increased by 1.5 percentage points, 1.8 percentage points increase coal washing, coking increased by 0.5 percentage points , liquefied natural gas increased 2.6 percent, coal processing products increased by 2.1 percentage points.

 

        Constantly improve the level of energy recovery. By 2015, the industrial enterprises above designated size recycling energy 149.08 million tons of standard coal, up 19.6 percent over 2012; recovery rate of 2.5 percent, or 0.2 percentage points higher than 2012.

 

        In addition, imports continue to optimize the structure of China's energy, international cooperation in full expansion. By 2015, the annual energy imports (net imports, the same below) 670 million tons of standard coal, compared with 2012 growth of 9.3% average annual growth of 3%, lower than the 2005-2012 average annual increase of 18.6 percentage points. Wherein, after the total coal imports reached 320 million tons in 2013, decreased by 2015 had fallen to 200 million tons, down 37.8%; oil, gas and maintained a rapid growth in imports of 330 million tons of crude oil in 2015, compared with 2012 an increase of 22.9%; imports 58.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas, an increase of 48.8% over 2012. Our oil and gas import capacity has improved steadily, the initial formation of the northwest, northeast, southwest and offshore oil and gas imports four strategies, international cooperation in thermal power, hydropower, nuclear power, new energy, power, coal and other fields comprehensive development, in "all the way along the" Strategy under the guidance of international cooperation in the energy sector continue to achieve new breakthroughs, dialogue and cooperation with the international energy Agency has been strengthened.

 

        In terms of overall energy use, energy level continues to increase, significantly improving energy conditions. By 2015, China's per capita energy use 3136 kg of standard coal, per capita electricity consumption 4133 kwh, respectively, compared with 2012 increase by 5.3% and 12.2%. In 2015, the first industrial energy, electricity consumption increased by 4.7% over 2012 and 2.6%; second industrial energy, electricity consumption increased by 5.2% and 11.1%, respectively; the tertiary industry energy electricity increased by 15.9%, respectively and 25.9%. 2015, a comprehensive solution to the country's population without electricity electricity problem, a substantial increase in the coverage of natural gas, energy poverty alleviation work made new progress.

 

        As technological innovation in the energy sector, the article pointed out powerful energy technology innovation, technology development significantly enhanced. HTR nuclear power technology successfully developed with independent intellectual property rights "Hualong One", CAP1400 third generation nuclear power technology and four generations have security features, large hydropower dams and 800,000 kilowatts turbine design and manufacture of the world's leading group, with an annual output of millions tons of coal mechanized mining equipment, one million kilowatts ultra-supercritical thermal power units, 3 MW wind turbine and other equipment are widely used, energy equipment made continuous progress of the energy industry standardization work made new progress, the development of new energy vehicles in the ascendant.
