Analysis of power structure of countries in the world

(10) Natural gas is not a clean energy source, it is one of the fossil fuels, and has a clear regional pattern, but the shipping form of natural gas, LNG, has broken the regional pattern, making natural gas a global bulk trade commodity; The international trade of electricity has a strong regional, there is no data to support the "globalization of electricity", "electricity will become the main form of energy trade".

(11) According to the BP2022 report, the global natural gas production in 2021 will be 4,036.9 billion cubic meters, with the highest production of the United States 934.2 billion cubic meters, Russia 701.7 billion cubic meters, and Iran 256.7 billion cubic meters.

Global gas-fired power generation is higher than oil-fired power generation and lower than coal-fired power generation, ranking second in the global power structure. Gas-fired power generation accounts for an average of 22.9% of global power generation, with Iran accounting for 80.6%, Russia 42.9%, and the United States 38.4%.

(12) Although energy has entered the "carbon neutral era", but oil is still widely used, oil is used too much, so many energy sources can replace fuel power generation, so the share of fuel power generation in the global fossil fuel power generation is at least 2.5%. Saudi Arabia is rich in crude Oil production and has the world's largest oil field, the Ghawar Oil field. Saudi Arabia has the largest share of global oil-fired power generation at 39.2%. It also owns the world's largest oil-fired power plant, the Shoaiba power and desalination plant, with an installed capacity of 5,600MW.

Nuclear power accounts for 9.8% of the world's electricity generation. In 2021, the total amount of nuclear power generation in the world will be 2800.3 TWh, of which the United States will be 819.1TWh, accounting for 819.1/2800.3=29.3% of the global total. China's 407.5TWh ranked second, accounting for 407.5/2800.3=14.6% of the global total, followed by Russia's 222.4TWh, South Korea's 158.0TWh, Canada's 92.0TWh, Ukraine's 86.2TWh, the United Kingdom's 45.9TWh and Japan's 61.2TWh. However, in terms of the share of electricity generation in the country, Ukraine has the highest share, accounting for 55.4%, followed by South Korea 26.3%.

China's Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant has become the 17th largest power station in the world, with an installed capacity of 6,710MW.

⒂ hydropower is the "leader" in renewable energy generation, accounting for 15.0% of global power generation; After coal power generation 36.0% and gas power generation 22.9%.

⒃ The countries with the highest hydropower capacity are China 1300.0TWh, Brazil 362.8TWh, Canada 380.8 TWh, the United States 257.7 TWh and Russia 214.5 TWh; However, the domestic share is 55.4% in Brazil, 59.4% in Canada, 18.5% in Russia, 15.2% in China, and 5.8% in the United States. Only Canada and Brazil have the highest.

The region with the highest share of hydropower generation is Central and South America, accounting for 48.4 percent of the continent's total electricity generation, and the continent's electricity is carbon free at 67.1 percent.

⒅ Wind farms and photovoltaics are developing the fastest among renewable energy sources, and their prices have been accepted by users. Based on the BP 2022 report, the following table is derived. China is making rapid progress in wind and photovoltaic power generation, accounting for 27.4 percent of the global total in 2021, compared with 17.1 percent in the United States over the same period.
