World primary energy demand

Global demand for energy will increase by 36% between 2008 and 2035, according to the International Energy Agency’s latest forecasts. Emerging economies will account for almost all of this increase (93%). In China, which overtook America last year to become the world’s largest energy user, demand is projected to increase by 75% over this period. Fossil fuels will still be the dominant source of energy in 2035, though their share in the energy mix will fall, while that of renewable energy sources and nuclear power will rise. The demand for coal and oil in the mostly rich members of the OECD will fall between 2008 and 2035—as will their share in world energy demand, from 44% to 33%.
