Brief Introduction

I. Main Content

This chapter consists of statistics for volume of energy production and energy consumption in Beijing, energy consumption in regions with RMB 10,000 GDP, energy consumption by sector and by type, energy balance sheet, energy consumption elasticity coefficient, per-capita and daily energy consumption and electricity consumption in Beijing; land utilization; meteorology, water resources, water drainage and water saving; landscaping and forest; atmospheric environment, solid waste disposal and other environmental protection data.

II. Scope of Statistics

In this chapter, statistics on energy cover the entire society.

III. Source of Statistics

Energy statistics are from Beijing Municipal Bureau of Statistics, and the NBS Survey Office in Beijing; statistics on land utilization are from Beijing Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources; meteorology statistics are from Beijing Meteorological Service; water resources, water drainage and water saving statistics are from Beijing Water Authority; urban environment and sanitation statistics are from Beijing Municipal Commission of City Administration and Environment; other statistics on environmental protection are from Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.

IV. Adjustment to Historical Statistics

Total energy consumption figures of 2008 in this chapter are the results from the “second economic census”. Statistics on total energy consumption from 1995 to 2007 are corrected based on the second national economic census in Beijing. Figures of GDP of Beijing used in the 1997-2007 energy consumption and decrease rate in regions with RMB 10,000 GDP, water consumption and decrease rate in regions with RMB 10,000 GDP, energy consumption elasticity coefficient, and energy consumption in regions with per RMB 10,000 GDP by different energy have been corrected in accordance with results from the second economic census and the second agricultural census.

Energy consumption figures of 2013 are the results from the 3^rd national economic census. Figures of energy production, total energy consumption, energy consumption and decrease rate in regions with RMB 10,000 GDP in the 2005-2012, as well as the energy consumption structure, energy consumption elasticity coefficient, energy consumption in regions with per RMB 10,000 GDP by different energy, per-capita energy consumption for living and average daily consumption of primary energy in the 2010-2012 have been corrected in accordance with results from the third national economic census.

In this chapter, the per-capita energy consumption for living and per-capita water resources are calculated by average permanent population; at the same time, per-capita index figures from 2006 to 2010 have been corrected in accordance with the sixth national population census.

V. Changes in Relevant Statistical Standards

(I) Classification of Sectors. According to relevant provisions of the National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China, the Classification of National Economic Sectors (Standard GB/T 4754-2011) came into effect in 2012.

(II) Classification of Three Industries. According to the Regulations on Three Industries Classification (G.T.Z. [2012] No. 108) of National Bureau of Statistics, the scope of three industries has been adjusted. The primary industry refers to agriculture, forestry, animal production and hunting, fishing (excluding service activities for agriculture, forestry, animal production and hunting, fishing); secondary industry refers to mining and quarrying (excluding mining support service activities), manufacturing (excluding repair of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment), production and distribution of electricity, heating power, gas and water and construction; the tertiary industry refers to others excluding the primary and secondary industries. The Provisions of the National Bureau of Statistics on Regulations on Three Industries Classification (G.T.Z. [2012] No. 108) came into effect in 2012.

VI. Content of Energy Statistics in Beijing and Calculation Method of Energy Consumption

Energy statistics in Beijing include complete survey on energy consumption in entities above designated size in the secondary and tertiary industries; sample survey on energy consumption in entities below designated size; statistics on energy consumption in agricultural production; sample survey on energy consumption in residents’ living and energy supply in energy supply departments, etc.

In terms of the whole city, the volume of production, supply and consumption shall be balanced among all types of energy. Therefore, in the calculation of energy consumption in production and residents’ living by using the above-mentioned method, a balanced correction shall be made according to the volume of production, supply and supply structure of all types of energy in the city.
