Fig. 4.13 China's energy demand situation in the next 10 years under different energy conserva-
tion intensity
emission allowed in the future. The total emission of China today has already
occupied more than 20 % of the global emission and its per capita CO 2 emission
has surpassed world average level. This situation brings tremendous pressure for
China in global climate negotiation (Fig. 4.14 ).
4.2.3 Domestic Energy Resource Is in Scarcity
From the current situation of domestic energy resources, China is rich in coal
resource and quite lack of oil and natural gas. Up to the end of 2011, proved
recoverable coal reserve is 114.5 billion ton, accounting for 13.3 % of the world
recoverable reserves, oil 2 billion ton, 0.9 %, natural gas 3,100 billion cubic meter,
1.5 %. Due to huge population base, energy resource per capita in China is far
below the world average level. In the end of 2011, coal resource per capital of China
is 85 t per person, merely 69 % of the world average level, oil 1.5 t per person,
only 4.4 % of world average level, natural gas 2,301 cubic meter per person, barely
7.7 % of the world average level. According to the output at present, China's coal
reserve-production ratio is less than 33 years, oil 10 years and natural gas 30 years
(Table 4.4 ).
