Abstract: Coal consumption plays a pivotal role in the national economic growth, and the coal-based energy supply system as the main guarantee of China's energy is impossible to change in the short term. In order to ensure the security of China's energy supply, accurate coal consumption forecast can provide important theoretical basis for the development of scientific and effective energy planning and decision-making. Starting from the classical Logistic model, this paper introduces a variety of related factors such as energy consumption, economic growth rate and carbon dioxide emission growth rate to expand the modeling objects of the Logistic model and improve the performance of the model by relying on its ability to capture the historical trend of the data model and accurately predict the future value. At the same time, a new logistic multivariate grey prediction model of energy consumption is established by introducing the principle of grey variance information organically combined with the logistic model. The modeling steps of the model are obtained by using mathematical methods such as least squares estimation of parameters and number multiplication transformation. Finally, the new model is applied to the prediction of Chinese coal consumption, and the validity of the model is verified from different perspectives of three cases, showing that the fitted and predicted data of the new model have good consistency with the actual results. The new model has a high accuracy for China's coal short-term forecast, and uses simulation and prediction effects of 1.68220% and 1.29866%, respectively, to effectively forecast China's coal consumption in 2022-2026, and points out the development trend of Chinese coal consumption, and provides a basis for China to make scientific and effective energy planning and decision-making.
