Energy demand in the developing countries prospects for the future

This paper represents a distillation of the views gleaned from an in- depth study of energy demand in eight developing countries (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines and Thailand). In terms of per capita income, these countries range from India and Pakistan, with inc...

520 # # |a This paper represents a distillation of the views gleaned from an in- depth study of energy demand in eight developing countries (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines and Thailand). In terms of per capita income, these countries range from India and Pakistan, with incomes well under $500 per capita, to Malaysia and Brazil in the upper bracket of the middle-income developing countries. They also have a wide variety of energy use and policies; from major reliance on coal and traditional fuels to sophisticated gas systems and high levels of electricity penetration. In total the eight countries account for over 50% of total energy and 35% of oil consumed in the developing countries. In contrast to the OECD countries, the developing countries in aggregate have shown a steady increase in the intensity of their commercial energy use through the late 1970s and 1980s. This has also generally been the case with the eight countries studied, although in three of them intensities leveled off in the 1980s. There are distinct differences between energy intensities in the eight countries, however, related to the structure of their economies, their fuel mix, activity levels, climate, pricing policy, etc. and these differences are brought out in the individual chapters.
