Brief Introduction
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
kilowatt is equal to
