Energy Consumption in Jiangsu and Its Development Path to Low Emission of Carbon Dioxide Economy
This paper is prepared by quoting the data of GDP and energy consumption of industrial enterprises in Jiangsu from 1995 to 2008, of which indexes, including energy consumption, energy consumption structure, together with elasticity coefficient of energy consumption, energy consumption intensity and carbon emission intensity were selected for the analysis of energy consumption and carbon emissions situation in Jiangsus economic growth. The results showes: (1) Energy consumption continues to grow at an annual rate 10.10%, but the average annual growth rate is of fluctuations, especially in the period of 2002-2005, when its average annual growth rate up to 19.60%, higher than that of GDP by 5.3 percentage points over the same period. (2) Energy consumption is mainly counted by coal, with an annual accounting rate being stabilized in the vicinity of 70%. (3) Apart from elasticity coefficient of energy consumption, energy consumption intensity tends to decrease, but is still higher compared to developed countries. Similarly, these two indicators were obviously rebound in 2002-2005. (4) Carbon emission intensity is not high, but the carbon emission is large, showing average annual growth rate up to 9.73%. It is then concluded: The economic development in the province is more dependent on energy demand. Meanwhile, the rapid growth in energy consumption and the coal-dominated energy consumption leading to a high-carbon situation is highly featured in Jiangsus economic development. Jiangsus economic restructuring is expected to transfer as quickly as possible from high-carbon growth to low-carbon development. Combined with actual conditions in the province, the final part of this paper proposes the policy proposals of low-carbon economic development.
