Abstract: In order to understand the basic character and development tendency of China's rural household energy consumption, we present the total rural household energy consumption of 1998 in China, which was 340.97 million tce (tons of standard coal equivalent, 1 TCE=7x106 kcal), according to statistics gathered from 30 provinces and 40.14% of which was commercial energy. This paper shows the correlation coefficients of the data, such as per-capita energy consumption of standard coal equivalent (PCEC), effective heat consumption for livelihood per capita per day (EHC), the proportion of commercial energy in EHC (PCE), annual electricity consumption for livelihood per capita (AEC) and so on. The paper suggests using EHC, PCE and AEC as the character indices to further reveal the correlation of per-capita income (PCI) and average annual temperature (AAT).
