China has discovered 12 kinds of energy mineral resources, including coal, stone coal, oil shale, uranium, thorium oil sand 、 Natural asphalt ； Liquid oil; Gas includes natural gas CBM 、 Shale gas 。 Geothermal resources Some are in liquid or gaseous state. China national economy 92% in life Primary energy From mineral energy. Energy mineral resources such as oil, natural gas and coal are also important raw materials for industry. Among the energy minerals, coal, oil, natural gas and oil shale are commonly used and have a long history. The newly developed primary energy resources include coalbed methane, oil sand, natural asphalt, etc. Since the 20th century, with the Scientific and technological progress and Resource development and utilization With the improvement of the level, nuclear energy and geothermal mineral resources have been developed as energy sources, including uranium, thorium and geothermal. China began to use nuclear energy in the 1980s and geothermal energy in the 1960s. Coal once in China energy consumption structure Middle occupation absolute advantage 。 With the development of oil, natural gas and nuclear energy energy-resource structure The proportion of coal in the energy consumption structure has decreased as the proportion of coal in the energy consumption structure has gradually increased. Energy minerals are China's mineral resources An important part of. Disposable coal, oil and natural gas in the world and China Energy consumption In the composition, they account for 93% and 95% respectively. China Energy mineral resources It is complete in variety, rich in resources and widely distributed. The energy minerals with known proved reserves include coal, oil, natural gas oil shale 、 Stone coal , uranium, thorium, geothermal, etc. Among them, there are 5345 coal resources, Retained reserves The total volume is 1002.5 billion tons, ranking the third in the world; oil resources There are 32 oil regions, with proven geological reserves of 18.14 billion tons, and the remaining proved reserves Recoverable reserves 2.241 billion tons, ranking 11th in the world; natural gas Resources About 70 trillion cubic meters, Remaining recoverable reserves 0.7060 trillion cubic meters, ranking 21st in the world; Uranium ore Less resources, proved reserves Ranking behind the tenth in the world; Distribution of geothermal resources Wider, about 1371.1 billion tons in the shallow area more than 2000 meters from the surface Standard coal Energy; oil-shale resources There are 64, with a total reserve of 31.5 billion tons; There are 93 stone coal resources with a total reserve of 4.256 billion tons. On February 28, 2024, the Ministry of Natural Resources issued the China Natural Resources Bulletin 2023, which shows that 173 kinds of mineral resources have been found in China by the end of 2022, including 13 kinds of energy minerals.
