Abstract
Macroscopic analysis on structure of energy consumption in China and its recent succession were performed. These structures and their succession in the latter half of 1980's were classified based on regional statistics. In China, the consuming share of solid fossil fuels represented by coal is significantly large and the share of industrial sector is also large, while recently both of them are decreasing.Regional diversity of energy consumption structure is noticeable in China. For instance, Shanghai and Guangdong consume much more liquid fuels due to the development of transportation sector. In Sichuan, Henan, Hebei and Heilongjiang, the share of household sector is relatively great.In China, bottle neck of energy transportation seems to cause that structure of energy consumption reflects the regional structure of industry and type of produced fossil energy strongly. This tendency appears significantly in household sector. Through the latter half of 1980's the dependence on coal had become smaller and per capita energy consumption was increasing. The constitution of fossil fuels excluding coal shows some diversity, for instance, LPG in Beijing, natural gas in Liaoning, coal gas in Shanghai are characteristics. In urbanized region, industrial region and coastal region, the share of electricity consumption is relatively large.
