ʫঐ๕Զც฿رxTHE ENERGY SUPPLY AND DEMAND SITUATION IN TAIWAN, R.O.C.
The Energy Supply and Demand Situation in Taiwan, R.O.C.
The total energy consumption in Taiwan, R.O.C. has grown greatly over the past
two decades, going from 69.18 million kiloliters of oil equivalent in 1996 to 116.81
million kiloliters in 2016, which is an average annual growth of 2.65%. Of that in 2016,
78.25% was for energy use, and non-energy uses consumed 21.75%. When classified
by consumer, the consumption of energy for each sector in 2016 was as follows: energy
and industrial sectors consumed 43.60%; transportation sector, 12.05%; agriculture,
forestry and fishery sectors, 0.88%; services sector, 10.84%; residential sector, 10.88%.
Classified by form of energy, coal and coal products contributed 9.15% of consumption
in 2016; petroleum products provided 38.63%; natural gas shared 3.37%; biomass and
waste accounted for 0.10%; electricity constituted 48.42%; solar thermal 0.10% and
heat 0.24%.
The supply in Taiwan, R.O.C. went from 81.44 million kiloliters of oil equivalent
in 1996 to 146.59 million kiloliters in 2016, an average annual growth of 2.98%. Of this
total in 2016, indigenous energy contributed 2.05%, and imported energy occupied
97.95%. Classified by energy form, coal contributed 29.36% in 2016, oil constituted
48.93%, natural gas shared 13.66%, biomass and waste accounted for 1.12%, hydro
power provided 0.43%, nuclear power provided 6.25%, solar PV, geothermal, wind and
biogas power provided 0.17%, and solar thermal 0.08%.
The total coal supply grew from 31.29 million metric tons in 1996 to 65.63 million
metric tons in 2016, an average annual increase of 3.77%. Coal is no longer produced in
Taiwan and has been all imported since 2001. Coal consumption, however, has grown
from 29.60 million metric tons in 1996 to 65.91 million metric tons in the same period,
an annual growth rate of 4.08%.
Petroleum product consumption grew from 36.90 million kiloliters of oil equiv-
alent in 1996 to 48.20 million kiloliters in 2016, an average annual growth of 1.34%.
Of this total in 2016, 6.37% was used to produce electricity, 52.08% was consumed for
non-energy use, and 41.55% went to fuel use.
