China's Energy Research Association announced yesterday that last year, China's energy consumption of 3.25 billion tons of Tce, a year-on-year increase of 6%.  Zhou, executive vice chairman of China Energy Research Institute, told reporters on the sidelines of the meeting that China has become the world's first energy consumption power. Energy intensity is 5 times times that in Japan as early as 2002, China's energy consumption has ranked second in the world, after the United States.  Zhou said that China's economic achievements worldwide, while the energy supply closely followed the rapid growth of demand. It is announced that last year, China's one-time energy consumption of 3.25 billion tons of Tce, an increase of 6%; Even in this situation, China's energy consumption intensity is still high, is 3 times times the United States, Japan's 5 times times.  Last year, China's gross domestic product surpassed Japan's for the first time, but last year the total energy consumption was 660 million tonnes Tce, China's exports overtook Germany last year, and Germany last year consumed 440 million tonnes of Tce, Zhou.  Demand growth will fall this year for 2011, The China Energy Research Association predicts that China's energy demand will continue to grow, but in view of slowing GDP growth expectations, the growth of energy demand is falling; the overall balance between supply and demand is likely to be tight, and further growth in energy demand this year will push energy prices generally higher The reason to judge the central region is still tight, because as the eastern part of the labor force increased, economic structure accelerated, 2011 years or even "Twelve-Five" period, the eastern region of the manufacturing industry will accelerate to the Midwest, and China's energy resources are mainly concentrated in the western region,  The existing energy infrastructure is mainly serving the energy demand in the eastern developed regions, so it is recommended to pay close attention to the energy demand trend in the central region. Buy more than 50 million dollars a day. In addition, Zhou said that the tension in the Middle East led to a surge in international oil prices, and our country now buys more crude oil every day than the latest price adjustment cost 50 million-60 million U.S. dollars. He introduced that at present, China's imports of crude oil from the Middle East and Africa accounted for about 60% of the total crude oil imports in China.  Last year, China's crude oil imports 239 million tons, the growth rate of 17.5% per cent, external dependence of nearly 55%, the oil security situation further intensified. Zhou introduced that last year, China's crude oil annual average import oil price of 61 U.S. dollars per barrel, equivalent to 400 million U.S. dollars a day to import crude oil. Recently, the international oil price all the way up, the London market Brent crude futures prices reached 113 U.S. dollars/barrels, than the price of 102 U.S. dollars/barrel, rose by about 10%; in New York, crude futures also rose more than 10% in price.  If international oil prices were to rise by 10%, it would cost US $500 million-600 million dollars a day to import oil this year, more than $ more than 50 million a day before the price adjustment. Just in Thursday, the New York market in the crude oil futures price plate broke through 100 USD/barrel, touch 103.41 USD/barrel. Brent crude futures prices soared to $119.79 a barrel in London.Both contracts have hit new highs since September 2008.
