Chinanews, Beijing, Dec. 27 – Although China has abundant energy resources, due to its huge population, the per capita possession of energy resources remains1 at a low level, according to a white paper issued by the State Council Information Office on Wednesday.
China is rich in fossil energy and renewable resources, yet the per capita possession of these resources is rather low. In China, the per capita possession of coal and hydropower resources is only 50% of the world's average level. The per capita possession of oil and natural gas resources is about 6.7% of the world's average level. China's per capita land resources possession is less than 30% of the world's average,which hinders China's utilization2 of bioenergy resources, the white paper says. In China, a greeat part of the energy resources is consumed in the economically developed southeastern region. However, most energy is stored in the western region, where there are difficulties in energy exploitation. Compared with other countries, much of the coal resource in China can only be obtained by building shafts3. The oil and natural gas resources lie deep under the ground and they require sophisticated techniques before these resources can be utilized4. Meanwhile, much of the unexplored hydropower resource is located in mountains and deep valleys. Since China carried out the opening-up policy, the country's energy industry has made rapid development and contributed much to the fast, sustainable development of the national economy. In 2006, China produced 2.21 billion tons of standard coal worth of unrenewable resources and consumed 2.46 billion tons of standard coal worth of unrenewable resources, ranking it second in the world in both production and consumption.
