Analysis on the Effect Factors of the Passenger Transportation Energy Consumption Intensity

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article proposes using passenger transportation energy intensity to measure the energy utility efficiency and energy-saving potential of the passenger transportation, uses the complete decomposition model to decompose the passenger transportation energy intensity from 1990 to 2007, and then investigate how various factors impact passenger transportation energy intensity. As is shown in the results, transportation structure increases passenger transportation energy intensity, while energy efficiency decreases it, however the decline is limited. Thus energy saving caused by adjustment of transportation structure is much more considerable.
