基于消费者生活方式方法(CLA)的应用,本文量化了1999 - 2002年期间城乡居民生活方式对中国能源使用及相关二氧化碳排放的直接和间接影响。结果显示,每年约26%的总能源消耗和30%的二氧化碳排放是居民生活方式以及支持这些需求的经济活动所导致的。对于城市居民,对能源消耗的间接影响是直接影响的2.44倍。居住、家庭能源使用、食品以及教育、文化和娱乐服务是能源密集度和碳排放密集度最高的活动。对于农村居民,对能源消耗的直接影响是间接影响的1.86倍,家庭能源使用、食品、教育以及文化娱乐服务和个人出行是能源密集度和碳排放密集度最高的活动。本文为以节能和环保为重点的政策提供了量化依据。中国的能源供应安全被政府政策制定者视为一个严峻问题,我们建议政府应协调利益相关者之间的关系以确定合理的策略。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Based on the application of a Consumer Lifestyle Approach (CLA), this paper quantifies the direct and indirect impact of lifestyle of urban and rural residents on China's energy use and the related CO(2) emissions during the period 1999-2002. The results show that approximately 26 per cent of total energy consumption and 30 per cent of CO(2) emission every year are a consequence of residents' lifestyles, and the economic activities to support these demands. For urban residents the indirect impact on energy consumption is 2.44 times greater than the direct impact. Residence; home energy use; food; and education, cultural and recreation services are the most energy-intensive and carbon-emission-intensive activities. For rural residents, the direct impact on energy consumption is 1.86 times that of the indirect, and home energy use; food; education, and cultural recreation services; and personal travel are the most energy-intensive and carbon-emission-intensive activities. This paper provides quantitative evidence for energy conservation and environmental protection focused policies. China's security for energy supply is singled out as a serious issue for government policy-makers, and we suggest that government should harmonize the relationships between stakeholders to determine rational strategies.
