Industry-Classification Analysis of Provincial Final Energy Consumption Structure in China

Final energy consumption is the total energy consumed by end users. The data on energy consumption structure can be represented by the ratio of electricity consumption to final total energy consumption, and usually be used to forecast the PM2.5 concentrations or energy efficiency in one province. Traditional energy consumption structure indictor solving methods include coal-equivalent consumption and thermal-equivalent calculation methods. They cannot be used to find the impact factors on the provincial energy consumption structure since they lack of internal factors in connection with the economic. The energy consumption structure of one industry sector is usually different from that of another sector. The energy consumption structure of one sector is determined by the producing characteristic and equipment level in the industry. In this paper, provincial final energy consumption structure is detailed analyzed according to the energy consumption data of selected industry sectors. And the provincial energy consumption structure indicator would be explained by the industrial structure in the province and specific energy consumption characteristics in the selected industry sectors. The analyzed result can be used to study the energy policy about PM2.5 concentrations or energy efficiency in most provinces in China.
