Energy
I. Main Contents
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 different types of energy, the consumption of energy by sector
and by types of energy, efficiency of energy conversion and the consumption of
energy for non-production uses.
II. Data in this chapter cover the
whole society.
III. Source of Data
Data in Table 7-1 are calculated on
the basis of statistics on output of industrial products, data in Table 7-14
come from the Association of Power Generation Enterprises, and data in other
tables in this chapter are from the energy balance sheets over the years.
IV. Notes on 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 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.
(3) 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
(4) 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. One kwh is equal to 0.1229 kg
