Abstract:

Analysis of the influencing factors on China's coal consumption is important for making the energy-saving and emission-reduction policies. The influence factors are decomposed into economic effect, structural effect, and intensity effect by using LMDI at the micro, meso, and macro levels, respectively. The robustness of the three effects is tested. Results show that the economic growth increased the coal consumption but the energy intensity decreased the consumption. The results of multiplicative decomposition show good robustness at different regional levels.

Key words: coal consumption, multilevel decomposition, LMDI, multiplicative decomposition
