Energy Flow Analysis of Energy, Social Economy and Environment Complex System in Sichuan Province, China

Abstract:

Energy is an important asset in modern society. According to the relative data and materials, the energy flowchart of Sichuan province in 2010 was drew at first, then the energy input, output, consumption, corresponding pollutants emission of Sichuan province from 2005 to 2010 were analyzed simultaneously. The results show that the total energy consumption increases rapidly with an average annual growth rate of 10.8%, energy external dependence is little. Energy consumption structure need to be further optimized, and the proportion of traditional fossil energy is larger, which is 77.18% in 2010. Then, we establish the evaluation index of regional energy, social economy and environment complex system, and the coordination degree between energy, economy and environment system in Sichuan province from 2005 to 2010 is analyzed, the results show that the coordination degree is high, and the comprehensive coordination degree of complex system is 0.97238 in 2010. Finally, suggestions of energy development strategy, optimization management of energy flow, energy conservation and emission reduction in Sichuan province are proposed on the basis of the analysis results.
