Factor Decompositions Analysis of Energy Consumption in China Based on LMDI

With the rapid economic development and the accelerated modernization process in China,the growth of energy consumption of China was growing very rapidly,the conflict between energy consumption and energy supply,environmental pollution becaome increasingly prominent.Based on the analysis of the trends of Chinese energy consumption and energy intensity,this paper decomposed the change of energy consumption into production effect,structure effect and intensity effect by LMDI method over 1996-2010 and investigated the effect on energy consumption and consumption intensity by the production expansion,structure adjustment,improved efficiency.The results indicated the expansion of production scale was always pulling up the energy consumption,structure adjustment had wide range to slow down the growth rate of the consumption,the restrict effect of energy intensity was gradually appear during the Eleventh Five-Year period.
