Summary

Our energy portfolio of reports can be used across a wide range of business functions to assess market conditions and devise future strategies and cover the oil, gas, electricity and utility sectors and key energy issues including cogeneration and carbon sequestration.

Some key findings from this report...

Electricity generation in Asia remains dominated by coal. Both China and Australia derive over 75.0% of their electricity from coal whilst over 50.0% of electricity is generated from coal in India.
Electricity generation in non-OECD Asian countries will nearly triple in volume by 2030, rising to 10,185bn kWh from 3,517bn kWh in 2004 according to the EIA. Most of this additional power generation is expected to be coal-fired.
Renewable energy source usage is significantly higher in Asia than in the US where renewables comprise just 11.5%. Renewables account for 32.0% of India's total electricity generation capacity. In China and Japan they represent 21.0% and 20.0% respectively.
Asia holds the lead the world in hydroelectric power. Installed capacity of SHP in Asia account for more than 70.0% of the world SHP installed capacity..

Green Energy in Asia Renewable investment, capacity growth and future outlook The EIA forecasts that robust economic growth and improved standards of living will underpin a massive surge in power consumption in Asia.
China and India account for the world's largest projected increases in national electric power demand over 2004-2030. Most of this is likely to be fossil fuel based resulting in a surge in GHG emissions. In parallel,

growing global concern about climate change will lead to international pressure on high polluting countries like India and China to curb their emissions. Cap and trade systems, once adopted by the US and Australia, will make the case of renewables more attractive in Asia.
