  abstract = {<p>China is also the largest energy-consuming and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>)-emitting country in the world, accounting for 26\% of the world{\textquoteright}s total energy use (BP, 2021) and 33\% of the global energy-related CO<sub>2</sub>\&nbsp;emissions in 2020 (IEA, 2021a). As such, China will play a critical role in achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius ({\textdegree}C), preferably 1.5{\textdegree}C, by 2100 compared to pre-industrial levels.</p><p>\&nbsp;Building on the foundation of the previous\&nbsp;<em>China Energy Outlook 2020\&nbsp;</em>(Zhou et al., 2020), Chapter 1 of this\&nbsp;<em>China Energy Outlook 2022</em>\&nbsp;first looks into the COVID-19 pandemic{\textquoteright}s impacts on China{\textquoteright}s economy, energy demand, and industrial production. Then the chapter discusses the key drivers of China{\textquoteright}s energy and emissions including population, urbanization, and production that generates the country{\textquoteright}s gross domestic product (GDP). Third, this chapter provides data and information on the current trends in China{\textquoteright}s energy use and emissions, with a focus on the end-use sectors: buildings, transport, industry, and power. Lastly, China{\textquoteright}s energy supply including imports and exports of energy are highlighted.</p>},
