Research on the Energy Consumption Structure Based on Low Carbon Economy in China

Abstract:

As the biggest developing country in the world, with sustainable and fast development of economy, the fossil energy consumption and carbon emission increases so quickly that the problem of energy security and carbon emission is more and more prominent In China. Therefore, building the sustainable energy supply system and energy consumption mode is the important guarantee for constructing harmonious society. This paper analyses the status of the gross energy consumption and its structure change in China, and then researches the problems of the energy consumption structure. In the end, the paper puts forward the specific countermeasures on optimizing the energy consumption structure, such as striving to develop new energy, improving the using of energy efficiency, promoting the development of low-carbon economy and so on.
