production and consumption in China are dominated by coal (NBS, 2020).Although forecasts on China’s future energy demand vary, they are consistent with regard to coal’s longterm dominance in China in foreseeable future. According to the World Energy Outlook 2020 (WEO2020) of the International Energy Agency (IEA), China’s annual primary energy de mand is expected to be 4865Mtce by 2030, twice the country’s energy con sumption in 2020. Coal consumption is expected to account for around 61% of the total primary energy consumption, reaching 2959Mtce per yearreference scenario. and more coal will be used for power generation in China In China, coal is the most important energy resource and it is a resource for all sectors of society except transportation. The use of coal in China is very different from that in the developed countries. The percentages of coal used for power generation in the US, EU, and Japan are 90%, 60% and 51%, respectively . However, the percentage of coal in China is only 44% in 2020 From a global perspective, coal will still be the dominant energy for power generation. From now on, the percentage of coal used for power generation will be increasing,along with the coal gradually withdrawing from some present sectors. Even if other alternatives for power generation achieve the upper l
