City- and county-level spatio-temporal energy consumption and efficiency datasets for China from 1997 to 2017.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the evolution of energy consumption and efficiency in China would contribute to assessing the effectiveness of the government's energy policies and the feasibility of meeting its international commitments. However, sub-national energy consumption and efficiency data have not been published for China, hindering the identification of drivers of differences in energy consumption and efficiency, and implementation of differentiated energy policies between cities and counties. This study estimated the energy consumption of 336 cities and 2,735 counties in China by combining Defense Meteorological Satellite Program/Operational Line-scan System (DMSP/OLS) and Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership/Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP/VIIRS) satellite nighttime light dat
