Direct and Indirect Household Energy Consumption in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays, China has paid much attention to industrial energy consumption. In fact, household energy consumption, close related to everyones daily life, is playing a more and more important role. In this paper, we utilize input-output model to obtain the value of indirect household energy consumption. We find out the structures of direct and indirect consumption and the gap between rural and urban energy consumption. The results show that the energy consumption structure is cleaner than before, and the gap between rural and urban energy consumption is narrowing. We make the suggestions that clean coal technology is badly needed and supplying more natural gas is helpful.
