International Energy Outlook 2018 (IEO2018)

摘要

1. Energy consumption in the non-OECD countries began to exceed OECD consumption in 2007 and is projected to reach nearly two-thirds of the 739 quadrillion Btu global energy consumption in 2040 2. The world's energy consumption through 2040 increases, on average, for all fuels in the IEO2018 Reference case 3. The IEO2018 side cases show higher economic growth drives increasing energy consumption, while services or manufacturing pathways to growth modulate that consumption 4. Per capita energy consumption in India and Africa remain comparatively low despite high economic growth in the IEO2018 side cases 5. IEO2018 side cases highlight the need to further explore the relationship between high economic growth, relative sizes of the services and manufacturing sectors, and energy consumption.
