July 13 - China's energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP was 1.206
tons of coal equivalent in 2006, down 1.33 percent from 2005, Xie Fuzhan,
director of the National Bureau of Statistics, said on Thursday.
This was the first time for China to see an annual decline in its energy
consumption for every 10,000 yuan of GDP since 2003, indicating the
country was developing in a way that is less wasteful and damaging to the
environment, said Xie.
Total energy consumption in 2006 rose 9.61 percent year-on-year to 2.46
billion tons of coal equivalent, Xie said.
The energy consumption of secondary industry declined by 1.98 percent to
2.53 tons of coal equivalent per 10,000 yuan of industrial added value,
while that of primary industry and tertiary industry rose 0.14 percent
and 0.13 percent respectively.
Twenty-nine of the Chinese mainland's 30 provinces, autonomous regions
and municipalities saw their per unit GDP energy consumption decrease
last year, while northwestern Qinghai province reported an increase of
1.51 percent.
Figures for Tibet Autonomous Region are not yet available.
However, all regions but Beijing missed the target previously set for the
reduction of energy consumption in 2006.
The Chinese government set a target of reducing energy consumption for
every 10,000 yuan of GDP by 20 percent in the five-year period from 2006
to 2010. The goal for 2006 was four percent.
