Production and Consumption
of Energy |
|
Brief Introduction |
|
I. the data in this
chapter cover mainly the energy production and consumption and their
composition, the elasticity ratio of energy production and consumption, the overall
balance of energy and the balance by the variety of energy, the consumption
of energy by sector and by main variety, efficiency of energy conversion and
the consumption of energy for residential use. |
|
II. the
national energy balance in this chapter is compiled by the Department of Industrial
and Transport Statistics, NBS on the basis of data from surveys and from
input-output tables. |
|
III. Coverage and calculation
of Data: |
|
(1) the
data on the production of primary energy are the same as the concerned data
of the industrial statistics. |
|
(2) the
state classification of national economic sectors is used in the classification
of sectors. |
|
(3) the
elasticity ratio of energy production is calculated as the quotient of the growth
rate of energy production divided by the growth rate of GDP; and the elasticity
ratio of energy consumption is calculated as the quotient of the growth rate
of energy consumption divided by the growth rate of GDP. |
|
(4) in
the energy balance, the data on the imports and exports are data from the customs
statistics. the refueling by Chinese ships and airplanes
abroad is included in the imports. the refueling by foreign
ships and airplanes in |
|
(5) in
the table on the efficiency of energy conversion, the coefficient for conversion
of electric power into the standard coal equivalent is calculated on the basis
of heat value equivalent. |
