Asian Energy Security Workshop Energy Updates of 2003~2004 in China Aling ZHANG, Yanjia WANG, Alun GU Tsinghua University 5.12-5.14, Beijing
Review energy changes in China • Energy shortages of coal, oil and electricity in China Coal production: 1.667 billion tons electricity: 1901 Twh oil consumption: 266 million tons • Energy consumption increases rapidly
Energy consumption in China Million tce Year Source: BP energy review 2003

Consumption Growth rate compared with 2002 Steel 0.27 billion tons 28.6% cement 0.836 billion tons 15.3% Electrolytic aluminium 11.68 million tons 15.7% Recent energy data in China • Investment in three industries steel, cement and electrolytic aluminum increased rapidly this first quarter despite repeated warning from the national government
Overheated investment • the production capacity of steel industry will reach 0.33 billion tons in 2005 , but the demand is expected to 0.33 billion tons in 2010 • In the electrolytic aluminum industry, the production capacity will outreach one time than the market expect in 2005 • In the cement industry, the total investment has grew up 133% in the same period
Raw material Growth rate Crude oil 20% steel 15% Iron stone 3 times than the same period The price increment in raw material • The booming investment has led to a price increase in raw material for three industries • Compared with the same period, the growth rate of some raw material:
Reasons • The demand for steel, electrolytic aluminum and cement is one reason for the fast investment • The other reason is that local governments focus too much on the economic growth and believe in investment growth as a method to push the local economy
The national relevant policy and plan • Driven by the high profits, overheat investment will not slow down without central government intervention • The central government has sent 10 inspection teams to 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to seek solutions for the investment growth
Electricity Shortage in China • China will still face the shortage in electricity supply in 2004, just similar in 2003 Provinces Electricity blackouts in China comparison
Electricity Price in rural areas • From April in 2004, the rural electricity price (not including Tibet) in China will be the same with urban price • The power price difference between rural and urban was 0.5 yuan RMB before • The National Development Reform Commission adjusts the electricity price, 0.02-0.03/kwh yuan RMB in western regions, 0.005-0.02/kwh yuan RMB in central and eastern regions. (9th May)
The national relevant policy and plan • in 2004 adjustment and control over such high-power-consuming industries • regulate and clean up the favorable price for electricity • Nonetheless, some factories will be forced to suspend their production
The national relevant policy and plan • Many provinces will suffer electricity blackouts this summer for the power plants under construction will run in 2006. • Speed up the national-wide interconnection of power networks • Increase the power supply and expand power saving measures
Oil price follows global oil market • The National Development Reform Commission raised benchmark gasoline rates by 300 yuan (US$36.5) per ton, or 8 percent, but kept prices of diesel unchanged on March 31, 2004. • That reflects the price hike on the international oil market and the price adjustment is to catch up with the international crude oil price hike.
Oil consumption • In 2003, the import dependency of oil in China is about 36.5% • China imported about 91.12 million tons of crude oil in 2003, year-on-year rise of 31.29% • In the first quarter, the import oil volume reached 30 million tons

The national relevant policy and plan • How to solve the effect of international oil price fluctuation on our economy. • In the last years, our focus lies on how to find the oil and produce oil. • In the futures, China should learn how to buy the oil in the lower price. • China should take part in the international oil market.
The national relevant policy and plan • Last year China had begun to build up the oil strategy reserve system. • But this system should be speeded up under the oil price fluctuation. • Some researches had supposed that China could build a system of 20 or 30 days, then increase 90 days later. (from IEA)
Expanding Natural gas USE in China • For the reasons of environment, natural gas use in China had rapidly increased recent years. • Government hope that gas will account for at least 10 percent of energy demand by 2020, up from the current 3 percent.

Natural Gas Usage in China • In the Chinese market, natural gas usage will be focused in power generation, followed by the chemical industry as feedstock, the industrial sector as fuel, and residential sector as a cooking and heating source • The end usage is to be located in northeast China, near the Bohai Sea and along the southeast coastal provinces.
The national relevant policy and plan • Guangdong Province will import LNG from Australia in 2005 • Fujian Province will import from Indonesia in 2006 • For geographical reason, importing LNG will have cost advantage in southern province in China
The national relevant policy and plan • China has a priority policy on the domestic development for the political reasons • China has set up the Renewable Energy Promotion Law • China has set up the national mid-long technology planning
The Regional Alternative path of LEAP model in China • The base year: 2000. • Data source: from yearbook or the public report. • There is no change in the structure of the model. • We modify the data in the LEAP model.
Next steps • Adjust some data in our LEAP model • How to realize the energy efficiency in the LEAP model
