Asian Energy Demand and Competition Fast growing market China and India big consumer of energy imports As 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 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 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
