Unit energy consumption and CO2 emissions of urban houses in China

Abstract

In this studs based on the Chinese statistics, the unit energy consumption and CO2 emissions per household were made clear for urban houses in China. The main conclusions are: (1) Energy consumption per urban household increases from 12.3 GJ to 23.1GJ in the period of 2002-2012. The percentage of each kind of energy was clarified (2) The emissions of CO2 per urban household increases from 1,689 kgCO2 to 3,559 kgCO2 in the period of 2002-2012. The weight of CO2 emissions caused by different energy resources was made clear (3) Energy consumption and CO2 emissions per household in the capital cities is 1.44-fold and 1.42-fold of the average, respectively.
