Abstract

Final energy-carbon consumption by different sectors and fuel types in Beijing from 1995 to 2005 and energy structure were presented according to IPCC reference approach and statistical data. Specific discussion of energy-carbon consumption category of each industry in 2005 was given. From 1995 to 2005, total and per capita final energy-carbon consumption increased respectively by 71.5% and 38.4%, while final energy-carbon consumption intensity descended by 66.2%. The energy-carbon consumption of Industry was the highest and accounted for about 53.0%-68.0% of total energy-carbon consumption (an average of 14.59 Mt), followed by tertiary industry, which accounted for about 15.0%-30.5% (an average of 5.23 Mt). Moreover, compared with 1995, the energy-carbon consumption of urban residential life had increased 2.02 times in 2005. At present, energy-carbon consumption of Industry is still the predominant part, and the adjustment of industrial structure hasn't yet changed its position. The structure of final energy-carbon consumption in Beijing has become steady since 2002. Although energy structure adjustments were conducted, carbon consumption still increased with the increase of energy use.
