Analysis of energy consumption and industrial structure in Henan Province

This article focuses on three industries-primary, secondary, tertiary, their internal industrial restructuring, studies the relationship between total energy consumption, intensity and economic development. Statistical analysis showed that energy production, consumption and economy had rapid, synchronous growth trends; Henan unit energy intensity was higher than the national average; from 1990 to 2008, comprehensive energy consumption intensity continued to decline, comprehensive energy efficiency continued going up; Henan general trend of unit energy intensity was very consistent with that in the secondary industry; both in all the three industries and just in the secondary, efficiency was dominant factor leading to unit energy intensity decline, especially in the secondary, structural factor was not prominent; Henan further decline in unit energy intensity depends on the contribution of structural factor, the industrial structure adjustment for energy-saving has a long way to go.
