These figures make it clear why emerging and<br />

developing countries are currently unable to join<br />

Europe’s industrialised countries in achieving the<br />

latter’s priorities to save energy and reduce greenhouse<br />

gas emissions. Satisfying the basic needs of their<br />

citizens for food, water, mobility and access to electric<br />

power to improve their living standards, even to a<br />

modest level, remains their top priority.<br />

Global Energy Consumption Increased<br />

Initial estimates indicate that world energy consumption<br />

in <strong>2010</strong> reached the level of 2008. The reason behind<br />

this is the global recovery from the economic crisis,<br />

notably in the OECD countries.<br />

The Pacific region continued to enjoy economic<br />

growth. In addition to the increase of its own energy<br />

production, especially China and India made increasing<br />

use of energy supplies available from the world market.<br />

Oil consumption increased by 4.6% and natural gas<br />

<br />

<br />

hard coal accounting for most of this growth.<br />

In <strong>2010</strong>, coal (hard coal and lignite) reached a world<br />

market share of 32% (total does not include non-hydro<br />

renewables) and has continued to be the fastest-growing<br />

source of primary energy over the past several years.<br />
