Country Analysis Brief
- China is the world's most populous country and the second largest energy consumer behind the United States. Rising oil demand and imports have made China a significant factor in world oil markets.
- China is the world’s second-largest consumer of oil behind the United States, and the third-largest net importer of oil after the U.S. and Japan.
- China’s largest oil fields are mature and production has peaked, leading companies to focus on developing largely untapped reserves in the western interior provinces and offshore fields.
- Although natural gas use is increasing in China, it only comprised 3 percent of the country’s total energy consumption in 2006.
- China is the largest producer and consumer of coal in the world, and many of China’s large coal reserves have yet to be developed.
- China’s electricity generation continues to be dominated by fossil fuel sources, particularly coal. The Chinese government has made the expansion of natural gas-fired power plants a priority.
- China commissioned the Three Gorges Dam hydroelectric facility, the largest hydroelectric project in the world, in 2009.
