【 摘 要 】

Rural household energy consumption is an important component of national energy consumption and plays ar important role in rural social and ecological environment developments. In this paper, energy consumption 1440 households in 8 typical counties of 8 China's economic zones was investigated. The investigation datr analysis revealed significant difference of different economic zones in rural household energy consumption levy and structure. For 8 studying counties, the annual. average energy consumption per capita was 26.7 GJ, 10.4 G the lowest (Shanghang County) and 86.6 GJ the highest (Shulan County). In energy consumption, straw, biogas. fuel wood and electricity accounted for 44.33%, 23.13%, 12.79% and 9.61%, respectively. Rural families with high incomes preferred commercial energies (e.g. electricity and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)) to biomass energy (e.g. straw and fuel wood). The traditional biomass energy is still the main energy source for China rural household. Research results provide references to understand current situations and future developmeni of China's rural household energy consumption, and formulate related energy and environmental policies.
