4.1.1.2 Primary Energy Consumption Structure
For a long time, China's primary energy consumption depends mainly on coal. The
world primary energy consumption structure has transferred from coal to oil and
now is moving towards green energies, such as natural gas, nuclear power, water
electricity and wind electricity. Compared with this situation and trend, China's
energy structure obviously turns to be a Low Quality Type. This is closely related
to China's resource situation, that is, rich in coal, short of oil and lack of gas.
However, in the past 10 years, China's green energies enjoy a vigorous develop-
ment with a continuous increase in consumption rate of natural gas, water and
nuclear electricity (see Table 4.2 ).
4.1.1.3 Terminal Energy Consumption Structure
As China is still in a rapid industrialization stage, final flow of energy consumption
is of great difference with the developed countries. In 2009, 55 % terminal energy
consumption of China is used by industry [ 6 ], which is an objective reflection of the
development of China's Homeland Construction. While, after more than 100 years
industrialization and development, terminal energy use moves to civilian use and
transportation in large part, which forms a pattern of industry, transportation and
civil use.
4.1.2 Current Situation of China's Energy Supply and Demand
In recent years, China has become a net importer of almost all the primary energies
except electricity. Most notably, its crude oil dependency on foreign countries has
