ShareGlobal energy demand is predicted to grow by more than one-third over the period to 2035
Global energy demand will grow by more than one-third over the period to 2035 according to IEA with China, India and the Middle East accounting for 60% of the increase.
The key findings of the 2012 edition of the IEA World Energy Outlook are the following:
. Global energy demand will grow by more than one-third over the period to 2035 in the IEA’s central scenario with China, India and the Middle East accounting for 60% of the increase.
. In this scenario, emissions correspond to a long-term average global temperature increase of 3.6°C; if action to limit global warming to 2°C is not taken before 2017, all the allowable CO2 emissions would be locked-in by energy infrastructure existing at that time.
. Energy efficiency is widely recognised as a key option in the hands of policy-makers – in the last year China, the United States and the European Union have announced new measures in this respect – but current efforts fall well short of tapping its full economic potential; just on taking actions to remove the barriers obstructing the implementation of energy efficiency measures that are economically viable could halve the global primary energy demand by 2035.
. Thanks to the rapid expansion of wind and solar power, renewable energies are predicted to account for almost one-third of total electricity output by 2035.
