China Energy Databook
Reliable and accurate data are critical to good analysis for policy and business. In 1992, we released the first edition of the China Energy Databook, acknowledged to be the most comprehensive and authoritative sourcebook of its kind. We continue to collaborate with Chinese researchers, and several revised and expanded editions have been released.
China Energy Databook Version 6.0
We have now completed the China Energy Databook v. 6.0, a comprehensive electronic version. The Databook consists of two products. The first is a fully relational database of national and provincial energy balances, plus detailed sectoral energy end-use tables, developed in Microsoft Access 2000, and containing over 103,000 data points. The second is a set of several hundred tables and figures in Microsoft Excel and PDF formats, organized into ten chapters, including extracts from the database and standalone spreadsheets containing data that can not be treated on a relational basis. The data series cover available information from 1949. Many are updated through 2002 or, where possible, 2003.
As a supplement to the Database and Databook, both of which contain official Chinese statistics, additional data tables and reports will be posted on the China Energy Databook website, providing further information such as adjusted consumption tables, energy survey results, and other relevant data. In addition, we have provided qualitative discussions to accompany the chapters of the databook, highlighting the prominent trends in data presented in each chapter.
The Databook is available at no cost on CD (only). To order it, please e-mail Diana Morris, with your name, affiliation, and full address including country and postal code.
