Index decomposition methodology is a better analysis frame to study the evolutive mechanism of energy intensity. The developments of the method and its application in energy, especially in energy intensity were introduced. The research results of energy intensity in homeland was divided into three types: technology determinism, period determinism and decomposition level determinism. Furthermore three limitations of index decomposition methodology are pointed out and possible areas for future research are presented.
