Research on Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Primary Energy in China

Abstract:

Based on statistics from China Energy Statistical Yearbook, this paper studied basic reserves, production and consumption, spatial and temporal distribution of primary energy in 30 provinces of China by geographic information system. Result shows that primary energy resource is limited and unevenly distributed, mainly concentrates in part of northwest and northeast regions. China produced and consumed about 50% of the world coal in 2009, and imported more than 50% of crude oil from international market to meet the demand. Consumption of nuclear power and hydro power are increased year by year, yet still lower than developed countries, production and consumption of per capita of energy increased to 2.06 tce and 2.30 tce. Biomass resources are aboundant in China, with energy potential of as high as 1.17 Btce in 2030, which can be used as an important energy supplement. It is of great significance to promote the utilization of biomass energy for sustainable energy supply of China.
