Study on Energy Consumption Structure of Guangdong Transportation Sector

Abstract

Transportation energy is an important component of energy consumption. The research on the energy consumption structure of Guangdong Province’s transportation energy will help to predict the space for energy development, formulate energy development strategies and energy plans. At the same time, it also provides a scientific basis for China Southern Power Grid Corporation to realize the transformation of enterprise and energy. This paper uses the GCAM model, a bottom-up method, to study the trend of Guangdong’s transportation energy consumption structure by combining transportation technology, transportation mode, and transportation demand forecasting methods. It is found that the growth rate of transportation energy in Guangdong will slow down and decline after reaching the peak. Electricity consumption will become a major part of transportation energy consumption, and passenger turnover and cargo turnover will gradually increase.
