Asian Energy Demand and Competition
Fast growing market China and India big consumer of energy
importsAs China, most of India`s primary energy use
relies on coal, though significantly less (41% against 70%). More of its energy comes from oil (which India has to import mostly) and from combustion renewable and waste (up to 27%).
Asia`s energy source mix
International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) predicts an increase of the world’s primary energy need of 1.6 times between the year 2005 and 2030.
Especially coal and oil are the most important sources for Asian countries.
For example China has the highest consumption of coal, over 70 percent of its primary energy need.
As opposed to this, Korea and Japan are dependent on nuclear power with about 14 percent.
Asia`s energy source mix
Asia`s coal consumption in 2010: 2,000 million tons Gas consumption: 500 million tons Oil consumption: 1,200 million tons
Relationship between energy consumption and economic growth
Main factor for the production process is energy Highly industrialized nations have learned to separate
economic growth from proportional input of energy more efficient technology
Future energy supply in Asia
International Energy Agency (IEA): more than 50 percent of the growing world oil demand is due to the transportation sector until 2020.
due to the economic growth in Asia the energy needs will be covered until the mid of coming century
Factors for preservation of Asia`s energy security: - investments in the exploration of all energy
resources- enhancement of the energy resource management - force development of hydroelectric power stations
and other renewable resources - enhance the technological standards for clean coal
power
Nuclear power for Asia
Increase of nuclear power in China and India is about 5% per year
Case szenarios of economic development and resource development
EMPEROR OF BUSINESS- China grows peacefully and plays by the rules
EMPEROR OF THE WORLD- China acquires economic power so quickly
that it retains the ability to play by its own rules.CHINA AS BIGGER BRAZIL
- China's growth rate is short-lived and goes down.
EMPEROR OF ASIA- China grows, but only as fast as its neighbors
and finds itself jockeying for resources with India, Japan, and Russia
