As one of the important driving forces of world economic development, China's rapid economic growth has not only supplied the world with a large number of manufactured goods, but also caused China's sustained and rapid increase in energy consumption because of the characteristics of China's economic development and overall low productivity derive from them in many years. According to the IPAT model and its expansion, this article figures out China's indicators of economic growth and changes in energy consumption brought by technological progress since 1986. Empirical results show that, despite many years' efforts, China's high-speed economic growth is still largely dependent on massive energy consumption. How to maintain rapid economic growth while reducing energy consumption? China has faced the very problem it needs to address. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
