• 65% of primary energy consumption

• Largest producer and consumer in the world

• 2003: coal consumption was 1.53 billion short tons (28% of World)

GDP Compared to Energy

• This Graph demonstrates the energy growth from 2001 to 2004

• China plans on quadrupling its gross domestic product before 2020

• This will not be achieved if energy consumption remains at a higher percentage than GDP

National Ministry of Energy

• Implement comprehensive energy policies

• Increase staffing of government officials in the energy sector

• Include Stakeholders in decision makings of hydro and nuclear power plants

• Source of around 40% of world oil demand growth in the last 4 years

• Oil demand estimated to reach 14.2 million bbl/d by 2025

• 85% of oil production is onshore

• Around half of imported oil comes from the Middle East

• Saudi Arabia alone accounted for 17% in first quarter of 2005

China’s Oil Priorities

• Stabilize production in the eastern regions

• Increase production in new western fields

• Develop infrastructure needed to deliver western oil and gas to the east

China’s Oil

Why is obtaining more oil so important for China’s Future?

•Auto Market will be 2nd Largest in the world within the next ten years

23 Million Cars now, 130 million by 2030- That’s 7.5% Growth per year

•If the United States experienced that same rate of growth to its current 140 million car population for the next 25 years, we would have 800,000,000 cars!
