Experts recommend to form a strategic system of energy security in China

Almaty. August 7. Silkroadnews - Experts recommend to form a strategic energy security system of China, Xinhua news agency reported.
As experts point out, strategic reserves of crude oil, which now has China, can not be considered sufficient. In the short term there have been no signs of changing the structure of the domestic energy consumption, still has been no significant breakthrough in the field of new energy technologies at low cost. This led to the fact that the volume of imports of crude oil China will continue to remain at a high level.
According to the State Department for energy in the first half of 2015, China imported 160 million tons of crude oil, which is 7.5% more than the same period last year and 30.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas - an increase by 5.5%.
At present, China's share of total world energy consumption is 23%, and the country now ranks the 1st place in the world.
