Decomposition Analysis of Energy Consumption in Shanghai Based on AWD

The paper decomposed the energy intensity of Shanghai based on the adaptive weighted index decomposition method (AWD) into subdivided six sectional energy consumption in Shanghai. The results show that the main cause of decreasing energy intensity in Shanghai was the reduction of sectional energy intensity, and the structure effect from industrial structure adjustment was not obvious. Industry sector, transportation sector, as well as warehousing and postal and telecommunications sector were the top three sectors which made the most contribution to energy intensity. The key to decrease the energy intensity of Shanghai in the future is to control the energy consumption amount of industry sector, transportation sector, as well as warehousing and postal and telecommunications sector. It is required to continue to strengthen technological innovation and optimize the industrial structure to control the energy consumption of Shanghai in 2015.
