China’s future energy demand to rely on domestic supply: official

Zhang Guobao, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) revealed on Thursday that there is a huge potential for domestic energy supply from the perspective of future development, and thus China can meet its future energy demand mainly through its domestic supply.

Although China has abundant coal resources, its proven coal reserves only account for a small proportion of geological reserves. Through developing clean utilization and liquefaction of coal, coal will still serve to be the base for China’s energy.
