- China{\textquoteright}s total primary energy consumption reached 4.26 billion tonnes of coal equivalent (tce), up 2.1\% over 2013, and accounting for 23 percent of global energy consumption.
- Primary energy grew only 29 percent as fast as the rate of GDP growth
- China accounted for 27.5 percent of global energy-related CO2 emissions.
- China{\textquoteright}s per capita CO2 emissions were 6.6 tonnes/person, 49 percent above the world average but 59 percent below that of the United States.
- China accounted for over half of total world coal consumption.
- In contrast, China{\textquoteright}s oil consumption was 12 percent of world demand and natural gas was 5.5 percent.

- China{\textquoteright}s Western region continues to be the dominant source of increased production of oil and natural gas.
- China added 113 gigawatts (GW) of new power plant generation capacity, of which 48 percent was fossil-fuel-based. Wind power capacity rose by 20 GW and solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity by 9 GW. Wind generation accounted for 22 percent of the global total, and PV was 16 percent of the global total.
- Natural gas imports reached 60 billion cubic meters (m3), up 13 percent, including a 15 percent rise in pipeline gas from Central Asia, and a 10 percent increase in liquefied natural gas imports.
