The National Bureau of Statistics report shows that China's energy transition continues to advance

At present, China's energy transition is continuing to advance
.
This can be seen
from the series of reports on economic and social development achievements since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics.

According to the report, in 2021, the total primary energy production in the country was 4.
33 billion tons of standard coal, an increase of 23.
2% over 2012 and an average annual increase of 2.
3%.

By the end of 2021, the number of coal mines in the country had been reduced to less than 4,500, and the annual output of large coal mines with an annual output of more than 1.
2 million tons accounted for about 85%, and the coal production center accelerated the concentration
of new and high-quality enterprises in Jinxi, Shaanxi, and Mongolia.
Raw coal production has increased for five consecutive years since 2017, and in 2021 it exceeded the all-time high of 3.
97 billion tons in 2013 to 4.
13 billion tons
.

In 2021, the installed capacity of non-fossil energy power generation exceeded that of coal power for the first time, with the installed capacity reaching 1.
12 billion kilowatts, accounting for 47.
0%
of the total installed power generation capacity.
The installed capacity of hydropower, wind power and solar power generation exceeds 300 million kilowatts
.
Among them, the proportion of clean energy such as natural gas, hydropower, nuclear power and new energy power generation in the energy production structure continues to rise
.

In 2021, the proportion of coal in China's total energy consumption decreased from 68.
5% in 2012 to 56.
0%, a decrease of 12.
5 percentage points; the proportion of oil increased from 17.
0% to 18.
5%, an increase of 1.
5 percentage points; the proportion of clean energy such as natural gas, hydropower, nuclear power and new energy generation increased significantly, and the proportion of natural gas increased from 4.
8% to 8.
9%, an increase of 4.
1 percentage points; the proportion of primary power and other energy increased from 9.
7% to 16.
6%.
An increase of 6.
9 percentage points
.

In 2021, China's GDP energy consumption will be reduced by 26.
4% compared with 2012, with an average annual decrease of 3.
3%, which is equivalent to saving and reducing energy by about 1.
40 billion tons of standard coal
.
Among them, the cumulative energy consumption of industrial added value above designated size decreased by 36.
2%, with an average annual decrease of 4.
9%, which was 9.
8 and 1.
6 percentage points higher than the cumulative and average annual reduction of GDP energy consumption, respectively, and the industrial energy-saving effect was obvious
