22. Outline of Medium-Long Term Energy Development Planning (2004-2020) (Draft) • Rely on technology innovations • Make great efforts on minimizing environmental impacts by energy production and consumption • Full attention given to energy security– diversification, stockpiles • Improvement of energy policy-making

23. Main Areas of Energy Technology DevelopmentSource: Tsinghua, China Energy Outlook 2004 • Energy efficiency technologies • Higher efficient and cleaner utilization of coal • Technical system to support oil security • Advanced nuclear power technologies • Large-scale hydropower generation technologies • Increasing reliability of power grids • Renewable energy • Hydrogen and fuel cell

24. China Medium and Long Term Energy Conservation Plan • Taking energy conservation as an important component of changing the economic growth pattern (saving energy through changing the economic growth pattern) • Integrating energy conservation with economic structural adjustment, technology innovation and management enhancement • Integrating the function of market mechanism with government macro-regulating • Integrating lawful management and policy incentives • Three key sectors (industry, transportation, building) • Public participation (governmental agencies’ role)

25. Measures for Energy Security • Oil conservation • Domestic resource exploration • Overseas resource development • Shipping security • Fuel substitution (coal liquefaction, Ethanol, bio-diesel) • Stockpile

26. Actions in 2005 • Electricity pricing • Law for Promoting the Development and Application of Renewable Energies • Set up State Energy Committee/Office • Oil industry reform

27. Electricity Pricing Associated with Coal Price • Market coal vs planning electricity • 440 power plants among 1140 plants lost 7.8 billion yuan RMB in 2004 because of higher coal price. • First quarter of 2005, price of coal for power plants raised 10-15% • New pricing mechanism effected in May 2005. If coal price changes 5% or above within more than 6 months, power price will change. • Power for industrial consumers will increase 0.0213 yuan/kWh in May.

28. Law for Promoting the Development and Application of Renewable Energies • Finished legal procedure on Feb. 28th, 2005 and will effect on Jan. 1st, 2006. • Encourages all entities to participate in and protects legal rights and interests of the developers and users. • Sets middle and long-term target of the total volume at the national level. • Encourages and supports various types of grid-connected renewable power generation. • Government budget establishes renewable energy development fund to support research, standard establishment, pilot project, project construction, resource surveys and assessments, and localized production of the equipment.

29. Top Authority of Energy • No integrated authority to deal with energy issues since 1992. • Set up Energy Bureau under NDRC in April 2004 with 30 staff. • China will set up the State Energy Committee/Office. Mr. Ma Kai, the Minister of NDRC will be the head of the office.

30. Monopoly in Petroleum Industry will be Broken • Dec. 11st 2004 is the first day that China opens its oil product retail market based on the commitments for joining the WTO. • Dec. 11st 2004, Petroleum Chamber of Commerce under ACFIC (All-China Federation of Industry & Commerce) was set up. More than 100 non-state-owned enterprises joint it.

31. PART B China LEAP Model: Inputs to and Results of National and Regional Alternative Paths for China Aling ZHANG, Yanjia WANG, Alun GU Tsinghua University May 13-16 Beijing

32. Outline • Background of this study • Basic assumptions • Business as usual Path • National Alternative Path & Regional Alternative Path • Cost comparison and emission comparison

33. Background of this study • Funded by Nautilus Institute, LEAP modeling and dataset in China started from 2001 as a part of the larger EAEF/AES regional project • Prof. Yanjia Wang, Prof. Aling Zhang, Dr. David Von Hippel and Ms Lea Prince have been of great help to the completion of the dataset and the paper summary

34. Background of this study • Approach: Use LEAP to study the energy futures scenarios for China • Task: Describe the possible results of energy consumption, GHG emission and costs comparison (demand cost, transformation cost or import cost and so on)

35. Basic assumptions • There are three Scenarios in this LEAP model: BAU, NAP and RAP • The data are from China statistical yearbooks of various years, energy reports and energy articles • Some O&M cost data is estimated according to the current average level in China

36. Business as usual Path

37. Business as usual PathAssumptions • There is no dramatic breakthrough has taken place in the regional political relations and economic cooperation • Natural gas is widely used for electricity generation • The urbanization process continues to speed up, bringing high pressure in terms of both energy consumption and environmental problems in most cities

38. Energy demand growth rate: 3%/yr • The renewable energy will not strongly promoted by the reason of national energy policy

39. Business as usual Path Comparison of the Energy Demand Structure (by sector) • transportation sector is projected to be the fastest growing sector, with its share of total national energy use increasing from 10% in 2000 to 26% in 2030 • industry sector share of energy use decreases, it remains the largest energy consumption sector, accounting for 44% of total energy consumption in 2030

40. National Alternative PathAssumptions • This path describes the development of nuclear power and renewable energy in China • the program of renewable energy utilization as a part of the National Alternative Path for China • Nuclear power is widely used in electricity generation • Coal will still play an important role in the all demand sectors

41. Energy demand: 3%/yr • The renewable energy will account for a little share by the reason of national energy policy

42. Output: Electricity Generation of NAP • The nuclear power generation will account for about 11% of the total electricity generation in 2030 • More natural gas will be applied in the power generation

43. National Alternative PathGHG emissions • GHG emissions are mainly dominated by the Industry and transport sectors • Due to the usage of natural gas and nuclear in electricity generation in China, GHG emissions from the electricity sector are projected to decrease • As a result of the rapid development of the transport sector, emissions from the transport sector are projected to increase to account for 21% of total GHG emissions by 2030

44. Regional Alternative PathAssumptions • Under the Regional Alternative Path (RAP) for China, the fast-growing economy in the middle and western parts of China leads to increasing demand for electricity and for cleaner energy (including the current Northeast revival) • Allowing the expansion of international power networks and construction of international pipelines, regional cooperation brings new opportunities to all countries concerned • An energy charter is drafted to promote further cooperation in the region, including the free transfer of new energy technologies and a common set of benchmarks concerning energy efficiency to guide design of energy-using products in the region • More natural gas is used in China’s economy as a whole, relative to the BAU and NAP cases

45. Net final fuel demand of RAP • The shares of electricity and natural gas in energy demand are projected to increase through 2030 • The coal share of total energy demand is projected to decrease by 2030

46. Output: Electricity Generation of RAP • For the regional cooperation, natural gas will play very important roles in the electricity generation in 2030

47. In the BAU and NAP scenarios, the energy demand fuel mix is almost the same, but for the RAP scenario, the natural gas share of total energy demand is projected to increase quickly • Coal energy demand is projected to decrease in all three scenarios, but the decrease in the level of coal demand differs between the scenarios • The increase in demand for oil in the future in China is expected to be unchanged, the driving force behind the increase being the rapid growth in China’s transport sector

48. Cost comparison • This section is not completed, but the trend is not unchanged • The cost of RAP scenario is projected to be much larger than the NAP scenario for the import cost.

49. Emission comparison • The emissions of RAP scenario is projected to be less than the NAP scenario

50. Conclusions • From 2001 to 2030, all three scenarios describe future “clean energy” paths • The era of cheap oil had already gone, rapidly growing energy demand will generate a need for increased energy supplies and energy security for China (natural gas and nuclear energy) • Regional cooperation will promote increased energy output and cut down the total GHG emissions
