Research on energy consumption of Beijing transportation industry based on LMDI method

Abstract

Beijing, as the capital of China, has a rapid economic development and developed transportation industry. In recent years, the output value of transportation industry of Beijing has been growing rapidly. At the same time, it also accompanied by a large amount of energy consumption. With the energy and environmental problems increasingly prominent, it is particularly important to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly transportation industry. Based on this, the paper used LMDI method to analyse the factors affecting the energy consumption of Beijing transportation industry for the year 2005-2016. The results show that the energy structure, energy intensity and freight turnover of per GDP inhibit the energy consumption, and the freight turnover promote the energy consumption, in which, the freight turnover is the key factor to restrain energy consumption. Therefore, certain technical means should be taken out to reduce energy consumption and the pollution on environment, which has a certain practical significance in improving the environment of Beijing.
