Abstract

Z_l_h e Energy Analysis Program (EAP) at the enterprises is counted as industrial consumption in awrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) first China; only fuel use by vehicles belonging to enterecame involved in Chinese energy issues prises engaged primarily in transportation is countrough a joint China-U.S. symposium on ed as transportation use. The estimated adjustment markets and demand for energy held in Nanjing in to count ali fuel use by vehicles as transportation ener-November of 1988. Discovering common interests, gy use is quite large, since a large fraction of motor EAP began to collaborate on projects with the Energy vehicles belong to industrial enterprises. Similarly, Research Institute (ERI) of China's State Planning Chinese industrial investment figures are skewed Commission. In the course of this work it became compared to those collected in the U.S. because a clear that a major issue in the furtherance of our large portion of enterprises' investment funds is research was the acquisition of reliable data. In directed towards providing housing and social seraddition to other, more focused activities--evalu-vices for workers and their families. _ China Encrgy Databook i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Much of the material In this volume would not have been available without the close cooperation of the staff of the Energy, Research Institute (ERI) of China's State Planning Commission (SPC), including the Director, Zhou Fengql, the members of the China Energy Database team, Xie Zhilun, Hu Xiullan, Lt lingjtng, Su Xlaojun, Dong Luylng, Wang liacheng, and Su Zhengming, and the ERI interpreter, Hart Yinghua. ERI staff members collected data from published sources that are difficult to obtatn outstde of China, and were invaluable in providing information on definitions and coverage of statistical categories, which often differ significantly from those used In the LI.S..

The reality and future scenarios of commercial building energy consumption in China

“…For example, it is assumed that all but a small volume of gasoline is used for transportation purposes, and all volumes from other sectors have thus been allocated to the transportation sector and subtracted from the other sectors. For diesel, based on a study done in the 1990s [5], we have reallocated 20% of agricultural diesel use, 10% of industrial, 12% of commercial, and 10% of residential diesel use to the transport sector, and subtracted accordingly from the other sectors. For coal and other fuel uses, we calculated fuel consumption in the commercial sector based on drivers such as activity, intensity and energy efficiency.…”

Energy Use in China: Sectoral Trends and Future Outlook

“…He demonstrated that since early 1980s, National Bureau of Statistics (NBS; formerly the State Statistical Bureau) began publishing detailed energy consumption statistics by sector, and provincial and national energy balances. These sets of energy statistics have been long been considered the best, most comprehensive source of national-level energy data for China, and they are the starting point for statistics published by many organizations (e.g., IEA, 2000;Sinton, et al, 2004;EIA, 2001;BPAmoco, 2001). Sinton also points out that changed in definitions and coverage has raised questions about reliability of trends observed over time; Problems like misreporting or non-reporting, and the difficulties in adapting the systems of data collection to rapidly changing social and economic structures have led to doubts about the accuracy of some indicators, especially economic output; Some sectoral and categorical definitions do not accord with accepted practices in many other countries, and contradictions between some statistics have appeared.…”

Hydrochemical variations during flood pulses in the south‐west China peak cluster karst: impacts of CaCO3–H2O–CO2interactions

“…Rainfalls for which pH was measured closest to the time of the two storms discussed in this paper were 7Ð44 and 7Ð37 on 9 May and 21 May, respectively. This is especially surprising as large areas of China south of the Yangze River, including Guangxi Province, are affected by sulphuric acid rain resulting from coal combustion (Wang and Wang, 1995;Sinton et al, 1996), with widespread areas, including rural areas, having rain pH below 4Ð0. Rainfall at the site is thus being buffered, a phenomenon that has been quantified in other settings (Sanden et al, 1997), probably at the Experimental Site by carbonate mineral dust in the area from local industry that includes limestone quarrying along with cement and brick production.…”
