Energy Trends in Developing Asia: Priorities for a Low-Carbon Future
This report follows up on the 2007 report by
examining the most recent data and trends related
to primary energy supply, final energy demand,
electricity generation and demand, greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, and clean energy investment, as
well as associated policies and targets. The objective
of this report is to provide a thorough review of
energy trends in developing Asia in order to
understand: (1) the drivers of energy demand; (2)
the impacts of increased energy demand on energy
security and greenhouse gas emissions; and (3) the
prospects for the scale-up of clean energy in
developing Asia economies. The report also reviews
and analyzes key trends and other relevant
information on clean energy options in an effort to
prioritize and rank energy efficiency sub-sectors and
renewable energy resources in terms of their
potential to deliver reductions in GHG emissions
across Asia.
The report focuses primarily on Asia's six largest
developing countries in terms of energy consumption-China, India, Indonesia, the
Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam-but the regional
analysis also includes an additional six countries that
are members of the Association of South East Asian
Nations (ASEAN). The report adopts a regional
lens by analyzing and comparing trends in historical
and projected energy demand, by fuel and by
country, across developing Asia. The report is
intended to serve as a resource for both the public
and private sector, including policy-makers, business
leaders, researchers, and advocates working in Asia
to promote clean energy investments that address
global climate change and development.
