• A closer look at the structure shows that China relies on fossil energy to meet 85% of its demand.
• While the share of coal is exceedingly large, the share of gas is the smallest among major economies in the world.

Outlook for Natural Gas Production, Consumption, and Net Import Requirements in China
Production
Consumption
Net Imports
Note: Data for 2013-2030 are projections.
Rapid growth in demand: three times higher by 2030
Good domestic production potential but insufficient to meet
growing demand
The result: Huge imports are required. Both LNG and pipeline gas are needed.
A Net Importer of Coal Forever?
17
18
• After decades of being one of the world’s major coal exporters, China became a net importer in 2009. China has surpassed Japan to be the world’s largest importer of coal.

Environmental Challenges andFuture Energy Options for China

SEVERE POLLUTION
• Air, land, and water pollution is at an all time in China.
• Beijing along with a huge area in North, East, and South China has experienced smog and foggy weather with heavy pollutants since the start of 2013. The PM2.5 readings are extremely high.
• In a joint study of ADB and Tsinghua University of China, among the world’s ten most air polluted cities, seven are in China.
• China has already been the world’s largest CO2 emitting country for years.
• Fossil fuels dominate the world and Chinese energy use today and it is non-renewable. Overall, its future role will decline for technical, economical, and environmental reasons. But in a few areas, the growth continues:– Clean Coal Technologies (CCT): Widely used in developed countries but
far less in developing countries. China needs CCT technologies and has a long way to go to fully implement them. The environmental benefits will be huge.
– Natural Gas: A better fossil fuel than coal and oil. Has a bright future in some parts of the world like the Asia-Pacific region where it is underutilized. China is actively promoting the use of natural gas.
– Methane Hydrates: Still at the experimental stage, but could have a huge impact if commercially viable.
– Coal-to-Liquids (CTL), Gas-to-Liquids (GTL), Coal-to-Methanol (CTM), Coal-to-Gas (CTG): Limited future but pursued by many investors in China.
– Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Also called carbon capture and sequestration. CCS has now been developed in China, albeit slowly.
Future Energy Options:Fossil Fuels – Room to Improve
21
• Despite Japan’s Fukushima nuclear crisis since March 11, 2011, the future still looks good for nuclear power in China.– Nuclear fission power used today has its limitations and safety
concerns.– Nuclear fusion power has greater potential but has not yet
been developed commercially.• China is on track to massively expand its nuclear power
programs:– Current installed capacity: 14.7 GW– Under construction: 31 GW– Government targets
• 2015: 43 GW• 2020: 80 GW
Future Energy Options:Nuclear Power – Huge Growth Ahead for China
22
• The future can be unlimited– Hydroenergy: China has a huge hydroelectric power
sector. The total installed capacity has just passed the mark of 230 GW and is still growing. By 2020, China is likely to have more than 350 GW of hydroelectric capacity.
– Wind Power: Surpassing the US recently, China is No. 1 in total installed capacity, reaching 63 GW at the start of 2012. China is the leader in new wind power buildup as well.
– Biofuels and Vegetable Oils: Available and used today. Can be expanded in China and elsewhere.
– Commercial Biomass and Biomass Power: Has growth potential in developing countries, including China.
Renewable Energy
23
• Renewable Energy (cont’d)– Geothermal: Developed well in some countries. Has room to
grow in China.– Solar Energy (Heat): Developed well in China. Has room to grow.– Solar Photovoltaic and Solar Battery: China is the leader and it
has a good future.– Solar Power: Not well developed. Has good potential in China.– Tidal Power Generation: Not well developed.– Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC): Not yet commercially
developed.– Others: LED, smart grid, hydrogen, fuel cells, etc.
• More important is energy conservation and improvement of energy efficiency!
Renewable Energy (cont’d)
24
Energy Efficiency and the Environment• Government’s Energy Efficiency and Environmental Targets• Energy Efficiency Targets:• Reduce the energy intensity (energy use per unit of
GDP) by 16% by the end of 2015 from the 2010 levels during the 12th Five-Year Program (FYP).
• Carbon Emission Targets• Reduce China’s carbon emission intensity (carbon
emissions per unit of GDP) by 40-45% by 2020 from the 2005 levels. The target under the 12th FYP is a reduction of 17% by 2015 from the 2010 levels.
• Raise the share of non-fossil energy in total energy use to 11.4% by 2015 and 15% by 2020, from under 10% at present.
25
• As the world’s second largest economy, China is currently the largest energy consuming and CO2 emitting country in the world. It also has the world’s largest automobile market.
• China ranks as No. 2 in terms of oil consumption and crude imports. However, with stagnated domestic production, the imports are rising fast.
• Natural gas is well underdeveloped and underutilized in China. It has huge potential to grow.
• Despite being the largest coal producing country in the world, China is also the largest coal user and now the largest coal importer in the world!
Concluding Remarks
26
• China plays a leading role in hydroelectric power, wind power, and solar heating developments in the world. Overall, the importance of renewable energy is growing relatively fast in China.
• However, the challenge for China is enormous. First and foremost, China’s air, land, and water pollution is at an all time high! Meanwhile, while it has huge room to massively develop renewable energy, its need for fossil energy—oil, gas, and coal, which are all non-renewable—will continue to grow, leading to much larger imports where security of supply is at a bigger stake. Moreover, with more energy to be used, China is under heavier pressure to improve energy efficiency, conserve energy, and ultimately reduce total CO2 emissions (not just intensity of emissions).
