China's energy consumption growth slowed by structural adjustments, despite production expansion, finds groundbreaking LMDI analysis.
The article analyzes energy consumption in China from 1996 to 2010. It breaks down the changes in energy use into production, structure, and intensity effects. The study shows that increasing production scale always leads to higher energy consumption. Adjusting the structure of energy use can slow down consumption growth, and improving efficiency can help reduce energy intensity over time.
