Energy production and supply
1. Steady growth in energy production and further enhancement of safe supply capacity
In 2021, with the continuous advancement of the policy of increasing production and ensuring supply, energy production will grow steadily, and the capacity for safe supply will be further enhanced. In 2021, the growth rate of raw coal, crude oil, and electricity production will be faster than the previous year, while the growth rate of natural gas production will slow down.
2021 Energy Production
The total production of primary energy was 4.33 billion tons of standard coal, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%.
The output of raw coal was 4.13 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.7%.
The output of crude oil was 198.881 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.1%.
The output of natural gas was 207.58 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 7.8%. The power generation was 8,534.25 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 9.7%.
Raw coal: In 2021, in the face of tight coal supply and sharp price hikes, coal production enterprises will make every effort to increase production and supply, and accelerate the release of high-quality production capacity. The annual raw coal output is 4.13 billion tons, an increase of 5.7% over the previous year, effectively protecting the people Safe and warm through the winter and the economy runs smoothly.
Oil and gas: In 2021, oil and gas production enterprises will continue to increase their exploration and development efforts, promote the increase of reserves and production, and strive to ensure the oil and gas for the economy and people’s livelihood. The annual crude oil output was 198.881 million tons, an increase of 2.1% over the previous year, and the growth rate was 0.5 percentage points higher than the previous year. It stabilized and rebounded for three consecutive years; the crude oil processing output was 703.554 million tons, a new high, a year-on-year increase of 4.3%, compared with 2019. An increase of 7.4%, with a two-year average growth of 3.6%. The annual output of natural gas was 207.58 billion cubic meters, an increase of 7.8% over the previous year. The output of natural gas exceeded 200 billion cubic meters for the first time, and it also increased by more than 10 billion cubic meters for five consecutive years.
Electricity: Electricity production enterprises adhere to the priority of people’s livelihood, strive to improve the level of electricity supply, and make every effort to ensure the electricity demand for economic and people’s livelihood. The annual power generation was 8,534.25 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 9.7%; thermal power generation was 5,805.87 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 8.9%; hydropower generation was 1,339 billion kWh, a year-on-year decrease of 1.2%; nuclear power generation was 407.52 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase 11.3%.
2. Continuous optimization of energy production structure
In 2021, my country’s clean energy will continue to develop rapidly, the proportion will be further increased, and the energy structure will continue to be optimized. In a relatively long period of time, although the proportion of coal will gradually decrease, it is difficult to change the status of coal as the main energy source in the short term. In the past ten years, the proportion of different types of energy has shown different trends. The proportion of raw coal production continues to decline, with a decrease of 8.6 percentage points in 2021 compared with 2012. The proportion of total crude oil production continued to decline, with a decrease of 1.9 percentage points in 2021 compared with 2012. The proportion of natural gas production has increased slightly, increasing by 2 percentage points in 2021 compared with 2012, and the proportion of primary electricity production such as hydropower, nuclear power, and wind power has increased significantly, and in 2021, it has increased by 8.5 percentage points compared with 2012.
The development of non-fossil energy has reached a new level. In 2021, my country’s non-fossil energy power generation installed capacity will historically exceed 1 billion kilowatts, reaching 1,117.2 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 13.4%, accounting for about 47% of the total power generation installed capacity, an increase of 2.3 percentage points over the previous year, surpassing coal for the first time in history. Specific gravity of electrical installations. The non-fossil energy power generation was 2.9 trillion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 12.0%, accounting for 34.6% of the total power generation. The installed capacity of wind power, photovoltaic power generation, hydropower and biomass power generation has ranked first in the world for many consecutive years. The consumption of clean energy continues to improve. In 2021, the average utilization rates of hydropower, wind power and photovoltaic power generation will reach about 98%, 97% and 98% respectively.
3. Energy imports have risen and fallen
In 2021, my country’s imports of energy products will rise and fall. Crude oil imports will decrease by 5.4% year-on-year, natural gas imports will increase by 19.9% year-on-year, and coal and lignite imports will increase by 6.6% year-on-year.
Since 2021, international oil prices have risen sharply, and the import cost of crude oil has risen sharply, suppressing some import demand. Domestic natural gas demand has grown strongly, while domestic natural gas production growth has not been as fast as consumption growth, and both pipeline gas and LNG imports have achieved double growth. The supply-demand relationship in the domestic coal market is tense, the price of domestic trade coal continues to rise, and foreign coal has an obvious price advantage, enterprises are more willing to purchase imported coal, and the coal import volume has increased year-on-year.
Crude oil and refined oil imports in 2021: crude oil imports were 512.98 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 5.4%, and the value was 1,661.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 34.4%. The import of refined oil was 27.12 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 4.0%, and the value was 107.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.6%.
Natural gas imports in 2021: Natural gas imports are 121.36 million tons (about 167.5 billion cubic meters), a year-on-year increase of 19.9%, and the amount is 360.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 56.3%.
Coal imports in 2021: 323.22 million tons of imported coal and lignite, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%, with a value of 231.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 64.1%.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of energy and livelihood projects has continued to increase, and the electricity consumption problem of people without electricity has been solved historically. The photovoltaic poverty alleviation project has benefited 4.15 million poor households. Leading the way, built the world’s largest electric vehicle charging network, withstood the severe test of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, earthquakes, extreme weather and other natural disasters, and effectively guaranteed the continuous improvement of people’s livelihood and well-being with clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy supply, and helped alleviate poverty. Tackling fortifications, rural revitalization and building a beautiful China have played an important role.
