Total Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is increasing regularly, reaching 2.7 toe/cap in 2022 (nearly 4 times that for India). Electricity consumption per capita increased by over 4% to around 5 800 kWh in 2022, more than twice the 2010 levels.

Crude Oil Production
Oil production has been increasing since 2018 (+2%/year), reaching 216 Mt in 2022. It declined by 3.2%/year between 2015 and 2018, after increasing by 2%/year between 2000 and 2015. Most of the production is onshore and located in the fields close to the north-eastern coast. Offshore production is in full development, with the Bohai basin being one of the most active areas.

Oil Products Consumption
The consumption of oil products increased rapidly between 2010 and 2021 (+4%/year on average) and slowed down in 2022 (+1%) to around 690 Mt.
In 2022, the share of the transport sector remained stable at 42%; the second largest energy consuming sector is industry (including non-energy uses) with around 37%.

Coal Consumption
Coal and lignite consumption recovered noticeably in 2021 and 2022 (+4.6% and +7.3%, respectively), surpassing 4.5 Gt, after a moderate growth between 2017 and 2020 (1%/year) and a decrease from 2014 to 2016 (-1.9%/year). It increased before very rapidly between 2000 and 2013 (+9%/year).
The power sector is the largest user of coal and lignite in 2022, with 67%, followed by industry (24%). The share of the power sector has been increasing continually (45% in 2000 and 49% in 2010).

Renewable in % Electricity Production
With the 14th FYP, the country intends to get 20% of its total energy consumption from non-fossil fuels in 2025 (14% in 2021). The target of 15% of renewables in total energy consumption in 2020 was not reached (only 10%) ("Guiding Opinions on Establishing Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards", NEA, 2016). In 2018, the NDRC also set a target of a 9% share of non-hydro renewables in electricity consumption for 2020 and 35% in 2030 (11% reached in 2020 and 13% in 2022).

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC (2021), China set more ambitious targets for 2030: reaching a CO2 emission peak before 2030, lowering its CO2 intensity by over 65% (from 2005 levels), and eventually reaching carbon neutrality before 2060. It aims to cut the average coal consumption rate in power plants to 300g/kWh between 2020 and 2025.
