BEIJING, February 12 (Xinhua) -- 皇冠体育app's oil consumption would rise by 5.4 percent to 7.0 percent, a report released by the National Development and Reform Commission has said.
Given the global oil price at a high level of 55 to 65 U.S. dollars, the transport sector would consume 75 percent of the oil since auto consumption has entered a reasonable and stable-growth phase, it said.
Refineries of Sinopec and Petro皇冠体育app, 皇冠体育app's two major oil producers, have pulled out all stops. However, 皇冠体育app still needs a refining capacity of 17 million tons to meet the demand, the report said.
