Core Viewpoint - China's energy supply and demand structure is undergoing profound changes driven by carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals alongside high-quality economic development. Energy consumption is expected to continue rising, with a significant increase in the share of clean energy consumption by 2025 [1] Energy Consumption Analysis - Total energy consumption is projected to grow steadily, with a forecast of 61 to 62 billion tons of standard coal in 2025, reflecting a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 3% to 4%. Renewable energy consumption is expected to exceed 1.2 billion tons of standard coal, showcasing strong green growth momentum [1][2] - Coal consumption is anticipated to see slight growth, with raw coal consumption estimated at 4.8 to 4.9 billion tons in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 1% to 2%, while its share of total energy consumption will slightly decline [2] - Oil consumption is expected to stabilize, with crude oil consumption projected at 77 to 78 million tons in 2025, reflecting a year-on-year growth of about 1% [2] - Natural gas consumption is forecasted to grow steadily, reaching 450 to 460 billion cubic meters in 2024, with a year-on-year increase of approximately 6% to 7% [3] - Electricity consumption is expected to maintain rapid growth, with total electricity consumption projected to reach 10.4 to 10.5 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2025, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 5% to 7% [3] Energy Production Analysis - Total energy production is expected to reach 505 to 515 million tons of standard coal in 2025, with a slight slowdown in growth due to a high base from previous years. The share of non-fossil energy production is projected to rise to 22.3% to 23.0% [4] - Coal production is expected to remain stable at 4.8 to 4.88 billion tons in 2025, with a year-on-year increase of 1.5% to 2% [6] - Crude oil production is projected to reach 22 million tons in 2025, reflecting a year-on-year growth of about 2% [6] - Natural gas production is anticipated to enter a rapid development phase, with production expected to reach 250 to 260 billion cubic meters by 2025, reflecting a year-on-year growth of approximately 5% [7] Energy Supply and Demand Outlook - Energy consumption growth is expected to outpace production growth by about 0.5 percentage points, with an energy self-sufficiency rate maintained above 80%. Coal supply and demand are projected to remain stable, with coal imports expected to be between 500 to 550 million tons in 2025 [8] - The crude oil supply-demand gap is expected to exceed 50 million tons, with high levels of crude oil imports maintained. Natural gas imports are projected to have a demand gap of approximately 180 to 200 billion cubic meters [8] Recommendations - Strengthening energy security strategies and establishing a more robust energy reserve and emergency mechanism is recommended, along with enhancing collaboration with key energy supplier countries [9] - Continuous improvement of the share of electricity in final energy consumption and optimizing the power system's adjustment capacity to support the rational consumption of new energy is advised [9] - Attention should be paid to new business layouts and energy demands in areas such as artificial intelligence computing power and the new energy industry [9]
