News Brief

World Energy Demand Rising

World energy demand

is expected to rise 54% over 1995 levels by the year 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Developing nations in Asia, including China and India, will lead this growth. These developing Asian nations (which do not include Japan, Australia, and New Zealand) will surpass the U.S. in energy consumption as soon as 2005. This changing energy use picture has an even more drastic impact on global carbon emissions because much of the projected growth in energy consumption is for coal. Total global carbon emissions are expected to reach 9.7 billion metric tons by 2015, 61% higher than 1990 emissions!
