China's energy structure is primarily based on coal, oil, and natural gas, with a recent rise in the use of natural gas and renewable energy. Oil accounts for approximately 17.9% of energy consumption, while natural gas makes up about 8.4%. Although shale oil, gas, and other unconventional resources constitute a minor part of China's energy mix, their development is crucial. Exploiting these resources can reduce dependence on imported oil and gas, enhance energy supply diversity and stability. This strategy will not only secure energy but also promote sustainable economic development and environmental improvements.
