Efficiency of Energy Utilization
This chapter analyzes and calculates China’s energy use efficiency and changes in trends with the constant price。What’s more，the reasons for the decline of energy utilization efficiency were analyzed from aspects such as supplies and consumption，the industrial structure and industrial energy utilization efficiency，direct and indirect import and export of energy as well as system and policy。The results show that，in recent years，China’s energy supply efficiency has declined，while consumption efficiency has increased。The structure factor has a negative influence on the energy utilization efficiency and the proportion of industrial and industrial energy utilization efficiency have a decisive impact to improve energy utilization efficiency in China。Exports of high-energy consuming products and the low-grade
division of international industries are not conducive to China’s energy utilization efficiency improvements。The weakening of the energy-saving policies and the management system which once appeared is also one of the reasons that the energy efficiency improvement did not continuously go further。This chapter compares the internationa energy utilization efficiencies，and concludes that China’s energy utilization efficiency has great gap to the other countries，but there is no doubt that China is the biggest country of energy utilization efficiency improvement in the world。The gap is gradually narrowing between China’s energy utilization efficiency and that of the advanced international level。Finally，from the aspects of accelerating technological innovation，maintaining modest economic growth，optimizing the industrial structure，improving energy prices mechanism and others，this chapter proposes policies and recommends to the improvement of China’s energy utilization efficiency。
