Driving Factors of China's Energy Consumption Increase

With the sustainable and rapid growth of China's economy,energy consumption has been increasing quickly,so the imbalance between energy supply and demand is becoming increasingly severe.With LMDI decomposition method,the article made a study of China's total energy consumption between 1995 and 2010.The results showed that China's total energy consumption accumulatively increased by 134.30% between 1995 and 2010,and was mainly driven by the two factors of labor productivity and energy intensity,and the contribution of other factors was very little.In the short term,it is necessary to reduce energy intensity,especially energy intensity of heavy chemical industry and transportation industry,to achieve the goal of conserving energy and reducing emissions.In the long term,it is essential to adjust industrial structure and energy structure strategically.
